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.

For the things it does, it does then very well, but there are a ton of things that exist on the website that don't exist in the app which I think would be very useful. A big one for me is creating and editing releases of projects. If a project of mine depends on a vulnerable library, I want to be able to create a new release fixing that as quickly as possible, which often means working from my phone.

1. I don't appreciate that you swapped out the profile picker with Copilot. Why?? AI is cool, sure, but NOT EVERYONE USES IT, especially with the terrible mobile experience of this app at times! You're breaking habits and familiarity, for what? BRING BACK THE PROFILE PICKER WHERE IT WAS. The floating Copilot button caused no harm and could be safely ignored! 2. Not related to the latest update, but can we have the "Mark as review" checkbox on mobile at the bottom (or top/bottom).

What’s new

- Improved and more consistent navigation experience, making it easier to move around the app and find what you need faster.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when opening a deep link to a file or GitHub Actions workflow that failed to load.
