You’ve stated that there should be minimal work to be done to migrate, but I’m finding that in my 3 cases I’m essentially having to recreate the new app. Missing icons, brand new color schemes, forms missing, content on items completely changed, and it goes on & on… So many lost hours just to migrate so don’t lose the existing apps at some point. Note that these are apps I’ve created as a volunteer for use by all volunteer non-profits, so there is no ability to get paid for all the time wasted… ---

This has been the case since the introduction of the new “Pages” (what we call Glide Apps now). We don’t know if a better migration tool is in the horizons, but if they ever state that “there should be minimal work to be done to migrate” anywhere then that’s not correct.
