An obvious workaround is to edit your tables in one of the desktop Evernote clients (Windows or Mac); that will sync to your Android device. If it's critical for you to be able to do this on Android, well, it's not supported yet. Since Evernote typically doesn't give out release dates for upcoming features, nor indeed, which features are actually planned for implementation, it's up to you to determine how critical that feature really is for you vs. what features Evernote has that are useful to you.
I am a recent Evernote user trying to switch over from OneNote. There are user interface problems in one note that I get to avoid while using Evernote. I like Evernote better so far. I work in IT and use my android phone for reference and data entry while in the field. I recently needed to add entries in a table as I would have expected to do and could do in OneNote. To my disappointment, I could not add columns or rows from the Android mobile client. With this realization in mind, Evernote drops down a few pegs in my opinion. I realize that this is just simply "not supported yet" but I do not think it is reasonable to expect users who use tables to carry around extra devices or tedious software steps to make this work as it does on other platforms. The modern worlds expectation of cross-platform applications is that they work the same cross-platform. The workarounds suggested are only something I would do if I had no other options as a last resort, but there are other products out there.
I hope developers add this useful feature sooner than later but this feature has been lower on the priority list so far.
For me, this feature isn't "critical" but I would say the usefulness of Evernote for my workflow is severely limited without it as I find that many times new information comes to me when I'm least expecting it and having a completely mobile option is a large selling point for me.
How do I insert a row or column in a table on Android?
