About This Feature

Overview

Card Mode is a card-based viewing feature in WPS Office AirSheet on Android. It displays a selected table range as individual cards, making it easier to review records one by one, enter content quickly, and share a specific record on a phone.

Its main capabilities include:

Open Card Mode: switch from Reading Mode to Card View from the Settings entry.
Manage card content: insert cards, delete cards, and edit content directly in the input field under each card name.
Share and return to the table: share content in card format and switch back to the regular table view after reviewing it.

This feature is useful for mobile data review, record-by-record checking, quick table updates, and sharing one specific record with collaborators.

Capability Summary	In AirSheet on Android, WPS can display a selected range as individual cards, and supports sharing, inserting, deleting, and direct input inside cards.	Excel for Android offers Cards View, which shows table data one row at a time in a card-style layout, supports browsing and search, and lets users add, delete, and edit rows in detailed view.	Google Docs on Android supports inserting and editing tables, including adding and deleting rows and columns, but its official guidance focuses on table editing rather than a card-style record view.	Notion mobile supports database access and page layouts on mobile, but mobile pages collapse columns into a single column and focus more on database page viewing than spreadsheet-style card browsing.	Adobe Acrobat for Android offers Liquid Mode for PDF reading, turning documents into a flowable mobile layout, but it is designed for PDF readability rather than table-record card editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Card Mode is built directly into the AirSheet reading flow on Android, making it practical for viewing, editing, sharing, and returning to the table in one continuous mobile workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft also provides a card-style table view, but it applies to Excel tables only, and Microsoft notes that not all table features are supported in Cards View.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs is better suited to basic mobile table editing, but it does not provide a dedicated card-style entry for record-by-record browsing and sharing.	Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for database pages and property viewing, while WPS focuses more directly on lightweight card-based handling of spreadsheet records on a phone.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on improving PDF reading on mobile and does not provide AirSheet-style card input, card insertion, or card deletion for table records.

Overall Conclusion: Card Mode is well suited to mobile spreadsheet review and record handling on a small screen. If your work centers on general table editing, database page management, or PDF reading, Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each emphasize different use cases.
