๐Ÿง  Question for the AppSheet Community: How do you differentiate your views by device?

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm currently working on a modular app in AppSheet and am entering a phase of device-specific UX improvement. We know AppSheet allows us to simulate interfaces for Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop, but:

โ“ How are you currently handling view differentiation based on the user's actual device?

๐Ÿ“Œ Here's what I've considered:

  • CONTEXT("Host") returns "Device" or "Browser", but it doesn't tell us if it's a phone, tablet, or PC.
  • There's no DEVICE_TYPE() (yet) to definitively know if we're on mobile vs. desktop.
  • I'm considering naming my views with suffixes like _mob, _tab, _dsk, and using LINKTOVIEW() or dashboards to alternate the UX.

But I'm really interested in knowing:

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What strategies are you using?

๐Ÿงฉ How do you alternate between views based on the device?

โš–๏ธ Do you create a single universal view, or do you duplicate views with conditional visibility?

I'm looking for real-world experiences, limitations you've faced, or clever ideas to optimize the UX for each device.

Thanks for reading ๐Ÿ™

Eager to learn from your approaches!
