To empower builders and make Quick Base even more accessible we automatically generate a touch-friendly mobile experience for each of your apps. This gives customers the freedom to communicate with all team members, regardless of location, by updating and sharing information in real time from any device. Now builders can direct their users to the Quick Base mobile app, for smartphone and tablets, to easily and securely access those applications from their mobile devices. WeÕre really excited to see users adopting the mobile app to make Quick Base more accessible, and want to get as much feedback from our Community as possible.

On Thursday, April 25th, weÕll host a live AMA (Ask Me Anything) featuring two members of esteemed mobile development team Chris Hutchens and Bob Gregor. Chris and Bob will be here from 2-3 p.m. EST to answer any questions you have about the mobile app, other ways we are planning to make Quick Base more accessible to mobile users, or anything else youÕd like to know.  

You can start submitting your questions here in this Community thread between now and the event. Then Chris and Bob will be in this thread live to tackle them on Thursday! 



If you haven't had a chance to try our mobile app yet it is not too late. The Quick Base mobile app can be downloaded from Apple and Google Play app stores and is compatible with iOS (10.0 or later) and Android (4.1 or later) smartphones.

     Instead of using the generic QuickBase mobile app, can we create our own mobile app, one for each quickbase application? In other words, if I create appA and appB, both being quickbase applications, can I create separate mobile apps, one for appA and another for appB?

    I'm sure it's a popular question, but I'm fairly new to Quick Base so I'm unfamiliar with the road map. Will offline workflows be supported in the mobile app at any point in the near future?

    I would like to know if the intent is to eventually create a single experience for both desktop and mobile.  With the two separate code basis, there are significant differences in functionality and user experience between the mobile and desktop experiences.  In most cases, I have found that I am almost forced to create a separate form for mobile. 

    In my mind, the ideal scenario would be to have a responsive UI that essentially gives the same experience regardless of of which type of device you are using.  

    If you want to see what I am talking about, try adding a user to an app from your phone.  It is almost impossible.

    I'm looking forward to offline mobile capability, is there a timeline for that?

    Web experience: Layout of fields and field text. Need more flexibility is there a plan for that? 
    If I am missing something please direct me to the right place.

    Our users have primarily been using desktop but a few are starting to use the mobile app. Our bootstrap buttons which work fine in the desktop version are not appearing on the mobile app. Do you have suggestions for either how to get them to appear on mobile forms, or ways we can work around this? Thank you!

    This is my question as well. The ability to brand and distribute our own app is crucial to our plans.

    Interesting use case.   
    We need very different functions in the office/desktop compared to the field/mobile.  We often gather onsite audit data and photos. A single experience would probably not work for some of our apps.

    We need to have access to more usable screen space for mobile.
    For example;
    - the option of multiple fields per row, 
    - option to remove the "field outline boxes" around every field.
    - to fully suppress field labels
