Click on the "insert row beneath" button on the toolbar, after putting the cursor on the right line.  There's no keyboard shortcut for this though.

adding rows is easy as pie via tabbing; just enter the last row and column and hit the tab key; that will add another row at the end of the table.

- but how can I add columns?

Click on the "insert column before or after" buttons.

Thanks @Dan Vitvass , for some reason the buttons were not working, but the tab works just fine!

I don't see any insert column buttons.  Where do I uncover them?

I'm including a screenshot with the tooltip to help others as well

If you hover over the buttons mentioned by Nic then they will show you the shortcuts.

Pretty simple:
Alt+Shift+(down arrow)  .... Insert row "After"

Alt+Shift+(up arrow)  .... Insert row "Before"

 

Alt+Shift+(right arrow)  .... Insert column "After"

Alt+Shift+(left arrow)  .... Insert column "Before"

Thank you for posting the screen shot @Dan Vitvass, it was a tremendous help to me!

Yes thank you! Big help in finding the right buttons.

thank you for this helpful tip!

Are these options from an add-on? Without this add-on can one split cells i.e. add columns and/or rows within without add actual rows and columns to the whole table?

It's not an add-on, it's the way it worked four years ago.  And on a different platform.

Helpful, Nic. Thanks for the insight.

How do you get that Responsive icon bar to show up, in order to have the icons for adding columns?

How about in the app?

I didn't find how to add row in Android app

Like Piotr Zolnierek likes this

Same for ios... a year later, still unusable without that feature

Like Paul Ericson likes this

Hmm, running into the same issue, is it impossible to add further rows using the ios app?

Like Paul Ericson likes this

Still not in the iOS app AFAIK.

Why oh whhhhhhyyyy can they not bring it in already, surely the devs are all over this type of ish! :-/ 

It really is a major drawback without this in the iOS app

I'm incorporating a screen capture with the tooltip to help other people also

I having issue on adding new row. the problem is on one particular row, it has multiple sub rows starts from the second column. Now when I add a new row, the new row is start from the second column as a new sub-row, however I do want to just add a new row which should start from the first column.

Thank you for the tip with the tab key on the very last cell. However, mentioned shortcuts Alt-Shift-Arrow don't work for me and I need to insert a row in the middle of the table. I cannot locate the toolbar buttons for these actions, they're probably not (much) accessible for screen-readers. I'm blind so screenshot posted here also don't help.
Please, do you have any hint how to achieve this using a keyboard?

Edit: With sighted assistance we discovered the shortcuts Alt-Ctrl-Arrows, which work for me. Thanks.
