Ratings and reviews

I've used it for a year or two, but I'm uninstalling now because it's still an extremely frustrating experience compared to the Mobile web or even the "Desktop site" in Chrome. Missing functionality, buttons, cannot share code, deeplink, highlight lines, navigate easily. Oftentimes I got stuck in the app, with the back not putting me back to where I was. Automatic capturing of GitHub links means that I can't escape the app even in situations I know can't use it. Please make the app open-source!

While a lot of things are made simpler than on the web version (PRs, notifications), reading code is almost unfeasible on the app due to the absence of horizontal scrolling or zooming out (limiting you to reading only the first few characters of a line), and the lack of the "jump to" drop down menu, which while being a good-to-have on browser, is a must-have on mobile.

I like the idea of this app, being able to go in and edit files on my phone is handy. However, it is has big annoyances for me, the notifications don't seem to work, or are too hard to configure and I've stopped them somehow. The other issue is that I can't find how to rename/move files in a repo. The app UI could also be better or more consistent with the website. But I know how mobile ux is often left by the wayside in favour of the web ux!
