Are you properly closing your HTML tags?  Regular Quick Base is completely forgiving of badly formatted HTML, but perhaps Mobile requires proper closing of tags

like

Most of us get lazy and don't bother closing the tag like I have done above and just do like this below.

"<font color=red" & [my field here] 

That works fine in regular Quick Base desktop but in mobile apparently not.
