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 don't know what I expected, but since there's several links to settings I at least assumed you could change your settings. This app is filled with links forcing you to log in through the apps built in browser, which doesn't support their own login methods, the app also lacks several features present in the web version, and forces use of app instead of web version on phone. Since I installed the app, using GitHub on mobile has become more frustrating, and certain tasks have become Impossible.
