Ratings and reviews

The app looks promising but it has some issues. There's a problem when viewing changes in a commit and having line wrap off. When you try to scroll the code horizontally, it either scrolls or switches to the "Details" tab and it seems random which of these two things happens. It'd be better if you had to explicitly click on "Details" to switch the tab or if the switch happened when you reached the end of the line.

There's no consideration of accessibly with swipe options. The difference between a touch screen detecting vertical or horizontal movement can be very subtle, leading to accidental swipes with no "do nothing" option.

Quite an undercooked app, lacks a lot of features which the website can provide, even mobile version. For example, management of labels and milestones doesn't seem to be possible. But with the features this app has, it works really well. Kudos to the developers! I only wish this app was getting the lacking features more regularly. Conclusion: I'd rate it 3.5★, and 4★ is too much, so it's 3★, sorry.
