Hi Wes,
Glad you enjoyed Empower! The short answer is that many of the fields in that magic buttons app (including that one) are in fact report links. On the mobile interface, report links are displayed with a (+) in case you want to add a new child record, and the total number of those associated records. This is because report links are nearly always links to the children of the parent record in view.
The formula in the magic buttons app does not seem to account for how many of these items interact on mobile. I'll forward this to the builder of that app to see if he has any ideas around it. There are some very cool sets of tools in that app, but they might have to be modified slightly to perform the way you want/need on various devices.
All that being said, we're looking into making this transition from desktop to mobile functionality as frictionless as possible, and posts like this are very valuable in helping us cover everything, so thank you!
Best,
Chris
