I have done that currently with the Calculation field just showing a text but would love to have Lines above and Below and make it bigger and bolder, so my team knows when they’re in a new section.
Also is there a way to create a navigation bar where if clicked can jump to certain sections of the app. I had these done in Podio but cannot figure out how to do so on Tape

At the moment, Calculation fields are your option as far as I know. Tape team is working on new record layout, once it is out, You’ll be able to design your record pages with Headings and what not.
You can see fully customizable record layout in the development section.

Do you have an idea what the code needs to look like in the calculation field, I understand it’s in development but I am not sure how long that would be

Here’s an example:
// @Name
const styles = {
lineHeader: "padding: 10px; text-align: center; color: #1E4359; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; margin: 20px 0;",
sideLineHeader: "display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 20px 0;",
sideLine: "flex: 1; height: 1px; background-color: #ccc;",
sideText: "padding: 0 15px; color: #1E4359; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"
};
`
<p style="${styles.lineHeader}">Heading 1</p>
<div style="${styles.sideLineHeader}">
<div style="${styles.sideLine}"></div>
<span style="${styles.sideText}">Heading 2</span>
<div style="${styles.sideLine}"></div>
</div>

A couple of other posts that may help you:
It is quite common to have an app with dozens of fields. The record can therefore be quite long and scrolling to a specific field can take some time. It is therefore nice to create a table of contents at the top of a record where the user can click on a link to jump to a certain part of the record.
Here is an image of the result:
