REDESIGN MOBILE SYNC SCREEN

This squared-syncing animation is so outdated. You guys could refresh this animation, maybe a more lively and rounded progress bar, a smaller one.

Maybe something like the image below, I know it is kinda over, but it is just to show you that there are many other possibilities for this. Perhaps there could be 2 or 3 designs we could choose, one progress bar, one donut, and one infinity symbol, I don't know. 

I know that I could use some GIF images, but the resolution isn't the best and it always "competes" with the built-in progress bar. I wish we could have a more refreshed look and worried only about the company's logo or SVG images.

It is up to you!!!

I like the current one, because each round of the solid Blue Dot takes one second. So if you're trying to count how long a sync is taking, you can use the visual animation as a timer - counting each time it takes the blue dot to get to one of the corners. 

But yes, that image is pretty old. In fact now that I think about it, I think that gif is from the original release.

Mmmm... I don't know if it really takes one second as you mentioned, I was testing now and... Anyways, the fact is that a new look or even new options are welcome, and I think this is not a HAAARRDDD thing to do, you know?

We just need to call their attention. Appsheet needs to keep on working on things we users ask. I understand that it is not a very customizable tool, but it could look more tech sometimes.

I would love it if the progress bar and sync animation were optional. I'd rather use my own image or animation. I would hope making it an option would not be overly complicated from a development standpoint.

Yeah, but I also think that their progress bar is important because we don't know how long it'll take to make a better animation. But they should definitely go with something more rounded, lively. Like I said maybe give us 2 or 3 different progress options or maybe even hide it like you said. 

Appsheet is known for its poor customization, and they focus too little in it. I now they did the new desktop version, but...

It's somewhat a good idea but it's not a deal breaker for me. I prefer to see some important stuff fixed first rather than a preference visual thing

@SkrOYC I totally agree with you. I've posted many other key ideas here, but it seems that they don't even see them. Maybe they could work on something "easier".
