Has anyone figured out how to place a loading icon or gif until the app fully loads? My app loads in pieces when launched and isn’t a good look. Happens when I come back to that tab as well. Thanks! ---

To my knowledge there’s no way to mitigate this or to modify the login icon until the app fully loads. I think that you probably have “too much” data so that your app is loading slowly… ---

I have about 30-35 compoenents on the home screen, could that be the issue? The icon also stops spinning before everything loads, so the user sees the app loading component by compoenent. ---

Well, that’s a lot so probably this consumes quite a lot of data. What about your sheets ? Did you try to delete all the empty rows ? ---

Oh, empty rows can cause this? ---

Yes, if you delete them you’ll immediately feel a difference! ---

Would anyone know how to apply this glaring affect when launching an app? Would make for a better user exp. Thanks! ![20210323_143631](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/1/4169e71e63852bf9af35a2681c4130095ef80f1c.gif) ---

Does anyone have anything else they do to help with components loading one by one slowly? And what the user sees?
