Key Enhancements Needed for Better UX Customization and Performance in AppSheet

Dear AppSheet Development Team,

I truly appreciate the power and flexibility that AppSheet brings to no-code development. However, after extensive real-world usage, I’ve identified several critical areas where enhancements would significantly improve both user experience (UX) customization and application performance.

I would like to propose the following three feature requests:

  1. Support for Markdown/HTML Rendering Across UI Components

Please consider enabling Markdown or HTML rendering not only in limited fields but across Pages, Views, and Forms. This would allow developers to design more professional, flexible, and dynamic interfaces—similar to what platforms like Power Apps offer. Currently, the default UI constraints limit creativity and prevent full utilization of AppSheet’s potential, especially when combined with AI-generated views.

  1. Batch Write for Parent-Child Form Submissions

Allow forms with parent-child relationships to submit data in a single batch operation instead of triggering individual sync actions per row. This would drastically improve performance and user experience when handling multiple line items, reducing latency and unnecessary sync overhead.

  1. Pagination for Data Views

Introduce pagination support for data-heavy views instead of loading the entire dataset at once. This would significantly improve loading speed, scalability, and usability—especially for apps dealing with large volumes of data.

These improvements would greatly enhance AppSheet’s capability as a scalable, enterprise-ready platform while empowering developers to build more efficient and user-friendly applications.

Thank you for considering these suggestions. I look forward to seeing AppSheet continue to evolve.

Thank you @hien_nguyen for your valuable inputs.

I have documented requests for Support for Markdown/HTML Rendering Across UI Components and Support for Markdown/HTML Rendering Across UI Components.

In regards to Batch Write for Parent-Child Form Submissions, I found there are ways to achieve that. Please refer to the links below

I hope this helps!

@Jose_Arteaga has there been any thought or progress towards ‘natural’ looping action vs the workaround that involves a combination of three actions, and is there any movement towards doing a multi select dropdown for many-to-many relationships vs the somewhat tabular add each row that is the current way of doing things?
