Improve Ipad app
Andrei Pascu
The ipad app is basically the smartphone app but bigger. It's obvious that it was created for the smartphone, which makes is look pretty bad. It doesn't take advantage of the big screen and the power of an ipad. There should be a dedicated version just for the ipad.

Yeah we need updates to the Ipad app badly haha. I was only on it for about 3-5 mins, and It was an immediate no for me. Already choosing to go to the web browser over the app for a number of reasons:
Tasks are locked in a certain layout/view. its split 50/50 down the middle of the screen with no way to adjust how much or little I see the main items (descriptions, subtasks, checklists, etc) vs the side bar (chat, history, etc). Unless I’m working on a task that requires chat history (which I rarely do) this makes it so that almost 1/2 - 1/4th of my Ipad screen is just… not being used. Also, for things like descriptions I have to click into the text (making it take up the entire screen) to even write anything. Extremely cumbersome/annoying and limits the workflow pretty badly.
Additionally from what I can see, I can’t access things like task templates which is also a HUGE part of my workflow. I have several templates that I typically just import into a new task to help structure client details for my team/myself, all of which unfortunately seem to be unavailable.
Lastly when creating a task, it popping up at the bottom is fine until you realize you don’t have an option to expand it or make it bigger… it just stays small, unless you choose to go to the list/space and open it. In which case, you’re right back in the situation I described above 🥲
Thats about as far as I got before I had to switch. I’m an avid click up user and i love the platform/happily pay for the monthly subscription with upgrades. But the Ipad app is realllllllly underwhelming. PLEASE make this app more like the desktop app/experience!
EDIT -So i went to the click up page and loaded the website and tried to access click up on browser. It works WAYYY better, so much so that i decided to try and book mark the page and add it to homescreen for easy access. This somehow prompted adding a new/different version of what seems to be a click up app to my ipad that again, works WAY better. Not sure if maybe i had a wrong app or this is some sort of work around, but try this if you are struggling on Ipad!

With the new ipad pro with keyboard, you use clickup more and more there. So it would be great if clickup is like the app that is on the computer instead of the phone.

The concern about the iPad app is valid, as it currently feels like a scaled-up smartphone version rather than a truly optimized tablet experience, which results in wasted screen space and a less polished interface despite the iPad’s larger display and stronger performance capabilities. A dedicated iPad-specific version should be developed to better utilize split views, enhanced layouts, and multitasking features, delivering a more professional and efficient user experience similar to how well-structured platforms like https://tnreginetguide.com/ present information clearly and effectively for larger screens.

Totally agree with all the points above! Using the iPad app feels like just stretching the iPhone interface, which really doesn’t take advantage of the bigger screen or allow for efficient workflow. A dedicated iPad version that mirrors the desktop experience would make a huge difference, especially for tasks, docs, and attachments. Honestly, I’d even go so far as to say that using a tablet could feel as productive as a laptop if done right. On a lighter note, while working on my iPad, I was thinking about how cozy it would be to wear a <a href="https://theutilitykilt.com/christmas-kilt.html">Christmas Kilt</a> during the holiday season—something fun to brighten up those long work sessions!

I tried using the White board on the iPad and it's a disappointment, it just doesn't exist, nor did it open for me.

Please add Clip feature for iPad usage even via google chrome or other browsers.

It is sad to say that mobile iPhone and iPad are not the same. It lack a lot in the iPad. Definitely every screen such be treated differently since is a different workflow. I need to use the web browser turn and app in the iPad to bypass the app. Is not stylish or even practical. I deleted 5 min after using it on iPad.

Totally agreed. I use the iPad a lot on the go. You figured it would be as close to the computer app as possible. Not the mobile one! I have the 12.9 pro pad & You can’t even get columns calculations/ totals that’s ridiculous imo.
Even the mobile app should have this feature!

Thanks for the request!! Can you please be specific where you think we need to focus our attention the most for tablets?
Our goal is to tackle tablet designs for each area individually and improve over time.

Joey: I can’t speak for all users, but I use the tablet in a fashion that’s much more (read: exactly) like I use ClickUp on a desktop or the web, compared to the more “on-the-go” functionality that a phone provides. At this point, I hardly use the iPad app, preferring to workaround on my Safari browser to get into the web app. There are many bugs and problems with this browser workaround, though; I often lose full paragraphs of writing becomes something about it gets offline. I’d strongly prefer to have an iPad app that is a lot like the desktop/web experience.
My experience finds this desirable particularly in:
- Docs. Mobile docs feels like a totally different program from ClickUps wonderful docs. For people who do a lot of writing (which I do) the writer’s experience in ClickUp mobile is unpleasant.
- Tasks. Being unable to see Details and Activity side by side is markedly different from my collaborative workflow on a browser.
- Multi-select. I use a number of templates and processes that benefit a lot from selecting and editing multiple tabs.
- Attachments. The options just aren’t there.
- Amount of information visible at one time. I understand that the goal in mobile settings is to make things visible on smaller screens, but I think this gets to my overall point and that of the person who initially posted: Right now, the iPad experience is just the iPhone app on a tablet. I want the desktop experience on my tablet, and I think many of us who have switched to mostly using tablets for day to day work will agree.
Thank you for your time and work!

Joey: hey is there is no calculation/ totals of columns on iPad app??
