Nick: Great news! Please could you design in support for iPad keyboards with Cmd-key short cuts - and displaying the shortcuts when the user holds down the Cmd key?

Nick: this is much needed. I was trying to work for my iPad today and discovered that I wasn't able to update the description in a task with my keyboard. I can only type with the on-screen keyboard which is definitely not . Looking forward to seeing this overhaul.

Nick: 🤔 is this more of a feature thing or UI too? I actually don’t mind the iPad specific UI. More feature parity will definitely be welcomed tho.

Nick: Will this also be Coming to Android Tablets?

Wyatt Southward: Yup will come to android tablets at the same exact time!

Michael Powers: This will be a UI layout to take advantage of the larger screen - essentially goal is to make it more similar to the web UI. That being said we definitely hear you on the features! Currently hard at work on time tracking, filtering, and more settings menus that are missing. Is there anything in particular feature wise you'd like to see sooner rather than later?

Zach Everman: Yeah we hear you on that one, I also have the same issue on my iPad. Unfortunately its a really bad bug with the framework we use for development (Flutter) - we are tracking the progress they have made on it closely and it looks like it has fixed but the Flutter team only puts out releases every couple of months so we are waiting on that unfortunately. Very aware of it though and if we could fix it sooner we would.

Clare Macrae: Adding it to the list! Probably won't make it out with the first update since this will be a pretty large overhaul of the UI but we will definitely get to it!!

Nick: This is fantastic. I spend the first hour of my day sitting on the floor with a beautifully balanced cup of aeropressed coffee and my iPad, thinking and working through strategy and projects. Having a beautifully balanced ClickUp experience will help my day start right!

Nick: I’ll think on that, but the past couple days I had the iPad app open for personal use, and the browser app open in Safari for iPad for work and I was just thinking how nice the iPad app was.

I feel like there were a lot of complaints back in the 1.X days because the iPad app was too much like the browser version. I would just be extremely cautious about trying to shoehorn the touch paradigm into the point & click world (again). Is there a big reason for going back to the desktop layout? I’m skeptical that it’s a good idea.

Maybe custom fields? And reordering tasks in list view. Just a couple quick things I could come up with in a pinch. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else.

Nick: best news this month! Haha. Can’t wait for this to come into existence. I do most of my work on the iPad Pro. The desktop is only for video editing and coding!

Clare Macrae: yes this is super important!

Charcoal Mushroom: PREACH!

Michael Powers: I hear you - basically some users use their iPad (especially the iPad Pro 12.9 inch) as a laptop replacement. I’d personally like to do everything I can on my Mac without issues.

I do agree that “touch” should be a priority too.

Zack: I understand that angle (though iPad Pro small 4 life here!) but, not to go all Steve Jobs on you… maybe you could do both? Like automatically toggle between “touch” & “point & click” versions? Bonus points if when connected to an external keyboard/mouse ClickUp “just knows” (and works). Regardless, I don’t think sacrificing usability for the touch folks is going to play. At least I’d be somewhat irked if iPad UI went back to desktop look. Maybe I’m the only one, but if I recall correctly, it didn’t work the first time. I realize tech trends change, but… yikes.. if I were running things on the ClickUp UI & dev teams, I’d want to have pretty solid evidence (which maybe you have) that the majority of my iPad Pro using customers were using peripherals. Which I do not. So there’s that.

Zach Everman: Absolutely! Using the app on my 2021 12.9” iPad Pro is so clunky, that I find it very hard to be organised while on the road. I find myself waiting until I get back to a desktop computer to get tasks done. This is VERY inefficient.

One saving grace is that I can use the web app with Safari (but not Chrome - it insists on redirecting to the iOS app), but I’m still not able to attach Dropbox files and use other basic functionality.

Please, please, please make the iOS app more like the web app!

Thanks.

Michael Powers: Yup all very good points and something we definitely want to avoid! We definitely won't be copying the web layout exactly since you are right it is the opposite of touch friendly. Our goal with this is to take the best parts of the web layout and put them into the app in a touch friendly way if that makes sense. We definitely want to strike the right balance while making sure we are taking full advantage of all the extra screen space you get on iPads/tablets!

Nick: 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Nick: Well, one feature makes planning and organizing (and thus my productivity) virtually impossible: recurring tasks.

How am I supposed to plan if I can't see my repeating tasks for the next few weeks? In my opinion, this is a feature that is very very urgent.

And yes: I use my Ipad. But I find the optimized iPad version LONG NOT AS IMPORTANT as the recurring tasks. My 2 cents...

Samuel Schneider: Totally hear ya and recurring tasks is something we are working on right now! About to start design on it 🙂
