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.

I really want to be able to push and pull with this app. We've got artists who use Android tablets for drawing sprites for our project, and it'd be really nice if they could push their art to the main/branches. Instead we have to email, or use Google drive, and that'll be our route until we can find something that'd work. For just reviewing and looking, the app works great.

The app is overall well laid out and easy to navigate, however, the code viewer needs some minor refactoring. When navigating code in portrait mode, the lines wrap to the left side of the viewport if it exceeds the horizontal space. Make it so that the user can scroll not only vertically, but also horizontally if the length exceeds display size. Implementing pinch-to-zoom would help immensely as well. Secondly, in portrait mode, the last digit in some 3 digit line numbers gets cut off.

What’s new

- Model selection is smoother and more intuitive. Tapping "View all models" opens a view with visible model strengths to help you choose the best option.
- The app will no longer intercept links for GitHub Spark
