Ratings and reviews

Very barebones, and just dissimilar enough from the website to make it kinda frustrating to use for more than quick comment replies, when they can actually be made from your phone in the first place. Otherwise, it is at least a bit less heavy than the website, but it can _still_ bring my S24 Ultra to its knees on long issue threads, big PRs, or large code files. Navigation is also less than ideal. Basically, it feels like a good effort, but beta quality at best.

Where's the value? I've tried one thing so far: search. Can't sort results. Can't filter on tables of data. Uninstalling. Update 01/2025: It really would be better if this were just a thin layer on top of the web site. I do like having an app over browser, but only if it is a superset of functionality.

The most stupid thing of the app is the authorization system. I have 2FA and passkey enabled. But each login looks like: 1. It asks me my bio 2. Then it asks to click SignIn button 3. Then it redirects me to the website 4. Then I have to log in on there 5. Then It redirects me to the app 6. Then I have to unlock app via bio again. FOR EVERY APP OPENNING! This becames even more absurd when I need to login on the website, because it asks login via app asking login via website. JUST WHY?!
