Precisely What I Needed
When they say that AirTable has the power of a database, but is as easy to use as a spreadsheet, they aren’t kidding.
I’m a big baseball fan, and I use AirTable to track information about the games I’ve attended over the years. Of course it’s fully searchable, so I can easily find big plays that I made notes of for games in years past. I’ve even got a separate table to track which hat I was wearing at each game.
AirTable is intuitive enough to be very easy to use, but also easy to share with my grandparents without them getting too confused and giving up.
Something I would love to see: keyboard shortcuts, and support for the iPhons XS Max. I use AirTable a lot on my iPad with an external keyboard, and I would love to be able to tab between fields for quicker data entry, similar to the experience of AirTable in the browser or on the desktop. The iPhone interface is great, but it would be nice if it scaled up for the new iPhone.
Thanks AirTable!Show lessTaylorJNess
So helpful
I found this app when it became compatible with Siri shortcuts. I was struggling to connect it with my shortcut and reached out to the developers for some assistance. The app itself is great. It is everything you could hope. Totally user friendly. Simple and streamlined, and also capable of handling very complex and intricate applications as well. It is also cross platform so it can be truly accessible. Back to my story: I was met promptly with loads of help. And when I responded with some well deserved praises, I was given some swag with a very sincere hand written thank you. I say this not so that everyone reaches out or get frustrated if you don’t get the response I did, but to point out how important this company is to the people who created this. And it was done so knowing that the user is what will help catapult the company forward by doing exactly what they have done, create an amazing product and ensuring it runs very smooth. Sucheta, you rock. And thanks for your help. Best wishes!Show less1brentsd
A dream come true!!!!
I have searched and searched for an app to organize things like I want to. This is an app that I have dreamed of for literal years.
As an aspiring author, the templates were incredibly helpful and gave me a place to begin with the organization process. I was able to expand with the incredible helpful, well... help! Everything was so clear, and what seemed to be difficult and impossible became so simple and easy!! I’ve had this app for a couple of hours and already know so many things I could do with it. I also love that a lot of good features are included with the free, which doesn’t limit me (someone who doesn’t have a job) to mediocre features. Every available feature on the free version is fantastic—something I can’t say about other apps.
Overall, if I could rate an app 6 stars, this would be the one I would do that for.Show lessMaddieTheReviewer
Incredibly User Friendly!!!
I cannot say enough about this kinda-database app! I first got it for a specific use (a pre-made database for AirTable for a specific use), but then decided to spread my wings & create my own database to record all the books I own. It was sooooo incredibly easy! Now, I'm a techie and know how very picky database programs are. This one is a breeze to use, maneuver columns, sort... And you get access to your stuff via their website too!!! BONUS!!! Plus, they have many pre-made free database "templates" per se that you can add to your account and start using immediately. And did I mention the FB group that you can ask any question or post a tip? I can keep on going! This really is a fabulous app, people!!!Show lessktkruszka
Airtable is amazing! iOS app is next to worthless
There are lots of capabilities, views and layouts in particular that are available on the desktop web browser version that aren’t available on the iOS version. Not having these views really hobbles the app. It is the only app I know of that limits the features of the mobile app so extensively. And it’s obvious it’s a feature, not a bug, because it’s been that way for several years as best I can tell. And it doesn’t work at all on my iOS Chrome browser, for that matter. They’ve put work into that. It’s a shame because what Airtable offers is incredible. But someone has decided to specifically not to make several of those incredible features available for iOS, severely limiting the appeal of the whole system. I’ve looked at using Airtable for several projects, but when I try using it in my iPad or iPhone, it’s so limited, it’s not worth using.Show lessJust going for a walk
What I’ve Been Looking For, For MULTIPLE Needs
I started Airtable to fill one specific need, but as time went on, I realized that it fills almost every niche I was trying to find an app/program for.
I’m odd with organization. In the past, I’ve had to use multiple notes apps for some things because I just want separate databases and portals for certain things. But now, if it’s something I can squeeze to work with Airtable (which is a lot), I don’t have to worry about that due to the sheer amount of layers it has with databases. This app has actually made me stop in my tracks because sometimes I don’t even know how I want to go about using it. That’s how open it is.
I use Airtable databases for everything from what albums I’ve listed to to keeping track of passwords and identities. It fills the purpose of multiple apps, and I’m not using anything else for those purposes any time soon.Show lessEkat_clan
Lacking desktop features
Because this app is currently lacking View and Group features from the desktop version, I cannot give it the 5-star it otherwise deserves. It drastically reduces my productivity when I am unable to use saved views to quickly access the information I actually need. The grouping and filters I have on saved views on Airtable for desktop make my information very accessible and even beautiful to look at. For example, I have almost 10 hidden fields that are necessary for my purposes, and none of them are automatically hidden on my iPad, making information confusing and diluted. I am disappointed so far in the mobile Airtable app. At best, it is good for limited data entry on the go.Show lessiReviewedU
Good app, BUT
This is a good app but I can’t make the switch from Notion for two huge reasons: (1) mobile functionality is incredibly limited (for example, some views are not available on mobile); and (2) there is no desktop app!! How can there be no desktop app if you want to be a big player in modular planning??! Smaller issues with the app include the lack of visual customization (the app’s design is very childlike aesthetically, and doesn’t promote the feeling of “big grown up doing big grown up work”) and the inability to insert calculations! If your entire model is spreadsheet-based, how could you NOT include calculations? (At least on mobile)
The app is a great start and I wish so much that I could switch over, but there are just too many limitationsShow lessLhoisrael
The ContainerStore of the Mind...
List Lovers, unite! Mind Mappers, rejoice! Project Planners, sleep tight! The mental organizational tool of your dreams has arrived.
Upon first viewing, the tool seems complicated. And, under the hood [code-wise] it very well could be. However, once you realize the simplicity of the too, and understand that there are really only a handful of major tricks it’s pulling, your brain will smile with how many ways in which you can organize and plan for anything at all.
CRM management and upkeep [who you met in NY, and the details they shared when you two were tipsy that you will likely forget tomorrow], planning a camping trip [and all the things you’ll need to take, the map of the secret spot, and towns along the way], blog post ideas, pics, editing status and posting status calendar, heck, I made a “Stuff Checked Out” catalog of who has borrowed what - shows checklist of things involved, pics of said stuff/thing, who is was “checked out to,” and status of “borrowed/returned” — this is seriously the nerdiest thing and I can’t believe it finally exists.
Think: adorable spreadsheets. That’s really all this is. And it’s powerful and glorious all at the same time. ...and, free for small users.
Bravo! And thank you from my mentally sound heart.Show lessChrischiffmanaged
Airtable is a must download
Wow- words can’t describe how great this app is! I can organize all aspects of my life with complete freedom to customize any feature within Airtable. I am still learning how to get the most out of this app, which I think will take a bit of time if I want to utilize it to its fullest potential. That being said- Airtable is intuitive and extremely easy to use. It also provides a sufficient amount of how-to videos and examples with template bases. I would like to see an increase in the base templates, but I’m sure more will be released as the app becomes more popular.
I highly recommend Airtable!Show lessJamesrich3
