The Airtable gaps, and how Air Fill closes them
The Airtable limitations people run into most on a phone, and how Air Fill handles each one. Find the one slowing you down.
Every gap, and its fix
- You pay for everyone you share with Every person you invite to a base becomes a billable Airtable seat.
- It doesn’t work offline Airtable has promised offline since 2016 and still asks for a signal before you can work.
- Airtable’s mobile app is painful Airtable’s own app is slow on a phone, and building anything real sends you back to the desktop.
- Airtable’s forms are too basic Native Airtable forms cover the essentials and stop there.
- Airtable forms can only create, never update An Airtable form makes a brand-new record every time — it can’t edit one that already exists.
- You can’t capture a signature Airtable forms have nowhere to collect a signature.
- Linking records in a form is clumsy Picking or creating a linked record in an Airtable form is slow and limited.
- Every respondent sees every field Airtable forms show the same fields to everyone, whether they apply or not.
- One choice can’t narrow the next Airtable forms can’t filter one dropdown by the answer to another.
- Forms accept the wrong data Beyond email and URL, Airtable forms can’t check what someone types.
