About GitHub

1. There’s a lot you can do on GitHub that doesn’t require a complex development environment – like sharing feedback on a design discussion, or reviewing a few lines of code.

2. GitHub for Android lets you move work forward wherever you are.

3. Stay in touch with your team, triage issues, and even merge, right from the app.

4. We’re making these tasks easy for you to perform, no matter where you work, with a beautifully native experience.

GitHub Customer Insights

1. Second of all, there needs to be an 'Open in Browser' option on every single page.Ever since they changed to using passkeys, which never seem to work, this entire website has gone from useful to just about useless.

2. Just another example of really smart people really screwing up a good thing by over thinking it.Whomever wrote this app's navigation actions has a total misunderstanding of how the back button on Android is supposed to work.

3. Others might have a fine experience but I did not, sorry devs! Coming from a fellow dev I hate writing bad reviews, but this one really frustrated me to no end :/.I am giving 1 star because the app deletes my work.

4. I think other than that it's a nice app, I can do code reviews on the go.The app is overall well laid out and easy to navigate, however, the code viewer needs some minor refactoring.

5. Once some of those gaps get filled in, I'll be happy to come back and add that fifth star.I feel bad, the PC version of this we use for work but the mobile version is genuinely one of the most frustrating app experiences I've had in years.

6. When navigating code in portrait mode, the lines wrap to the left side of the viewport if it exceeds the horizontal space.

7. For example, you can review and merge pull requests, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to approve a pull request.

8. If you have something like a pull request open, then the app is put into the background, then returned to foreground, the back button consistently exits the app entirely.

9. Where's the search within projects? Where's the search in a file? Where's the cross references? Where's the tabbing? This app appears to be more social media based than a tool for programmers.

10. Hard to find anything, no obvious way to change an issues category within a project, things aren't where you expect them to be or just flat out can't be changed.

11. Secondly, in portrait mode, the last digit in some 3 digit line numbers gets cut off.Pretty good for a first stab.
