I would be glad to give this review five stars.

I love being able to keep up with all my issues through my phone. The user interface is clean and it's easy to search for repositories. However, there is a feature I would like implemented. I would like the ability to view releases in the app. It's annoying when I go to a notification for a release and tap on it, only for it to send me to the website. And, if I click a link to the releases of a repository in my web browser, it opens the repository in the app but doesn't show me the releases. Overall, great app, and if that one feature was added my browser and app my device

has potential but too many dealbreakers

I truly want to like this app but the bugs that have been around since I first used it are driving me crazy. Every time I add a new favorite it’ll disappear from my list a few minutes later, sometimes right before my eyes it’ll remove itself from my list. On top of that, the search functionality is atrocious, and way too limited. We can’t even search our own repos! The search functionality we do have for the rest of the site leaves a lot to be desired and doesn’t even return the same results as the website. We should be able to search our starred repos, our own repos as well as choose how our own repos are filtered, this is bottom of the barrell functionality that should be a no brainer. If its possible on the website, it should be possible in the application. Im honestly shocked at how little functionality this app offers as the official github client.lastly, iOS 14 required now? you cant be serious. time to write a good github client on my own I guess, supporting iOS 13 isnt difficult and theres absolutely nothing earth shattering offered in the 14 SDK that github needs to function. id be embarassed if i wrote an app this shoddy for such a high profile company.

How on earth is the average 4.8?

This app is essentially READ-ONLY. I see some people defending it with, “You can’t expect full functionality of the desktop app”, and I get where they’re coming from, but I would argue that it’s not unfair to expect ANY functionality.I’m a huge fan of what GitHub is and does. I’ll fight tooth and nail over the actual site and how much it’s done for the common dev/user. But there’s no denying that it’s very disappointing to get an app for GitHub that will not let you actually create anything more than an issue or pull request.That’s right. No creating a fork, a branch, anything - even for an already existing repo - let alone creating a new project/repo. If you actually want to create something, this app is essentially useless to you, and you’d quite literally be better off working out of a mobile browser. Imho, it’s an insult to a site that’s done so much for the dev world, to call this their official app. Y’all know it, I know it, and everyone knows it.

Useful but juggling a lot of info

This is definitely useful, but I would not use the mobile app to do PR reviews regularly. Too easy to miss critical context or information on the small screen. Also too much is presented at once. This app could be improved by better managing the intention of the person using it. Deliberately switching modes of inquiry and having the UI adjust is probably better than being able to do anything at anytime. MS Word does this with their toolbars and that’s okey for a word processor. It is burdensome in a mobile app where thoughtful review and clear communication is the end goal.

What's new: • Start new Copilot coding agent tasks from Home, Repository, or the Agent task page by tapping +, selecting your repo, entering a prompt, and choosing an custom agent. Copilot will create a draft pull request and notify you when it's ready for review. Bug fixes: • Find repositories faster with improved repository search functionality. • Linking a pull request to an issue optimistically shows the timeline entry. • Assistive technologies, such as VoiceOver, announce the selection state of repository notification types.
