Is there a way to have a layout for mobile and another for desktop. The new layouts options do not seem as user friendly as the ones in the classic app. The desktop and tablet interface has increased but the mobile is not as good as before.

In new apps everything is optimized for you and will only get better. If you want more granular control have a look at this
Thereās also a new integration ādetect system infoā or something like that. I only tried it once but couldnāt get the same affect.
I am experiencing some limitations as well.
The biggest limitation with the new apps versus the old is we lost the ability for horizontal scrolling. This was a great feature on mobile.
I concur that it would be nice to hide or show certain elements based on screen size.
It would also be beneficial to access the database collections in the main glide side menu instead of always through the app. I would like to see all my databases and which apps are using them.
As a bonus, it would be powerful to place a filter or condition on the database when adding it into the app. Especially for shared databases where limited info is applicable to the app.

Can you tell us what isnāt working?
Right now I have a classic app that I am not comfortable making into the new app so I am considering having two versions of my app because the layout options of the new glideapps are so limited. While i love the push notifications feature, losing the layout options is a huge loss.
Now on the website it was stated that all features of the classic apps will transition over except for a few and the different layout options was not a feature that was listed as not moving to the new version of glideapps with push notifications and all the new integrations.

There is no way to achieve this layout in the current new version of glideapps
The detect system info did work I just couldnāt figure out how to detect the type of deviceā¦ it returned an operating system.
The JavaScript is straight forward because the word āmobileā can be used as a condition easily.
Perhaps if I tested and thought about it a little more I couldāve come up with an answer.
What do you suggest?
So, it seems like there is not current solution ?
To be clear about this, the idea is you can grab the userās type of device using either the āGet Device Infoā (when it works right) or JavaScript, then show/hide components based on that.
But from reading your post, I think what you want is to get the mobile view of some components in Classic Apps in the new Glide Apps, which at the moment isnāt possible. I donāt know if they plan to bring that same design to the new version.
aw man, thatās disappointing
