I've been using betas for the Android app, but in my experience there's still a lot of paper cuts here.

For example, I do quite a few code reviews on my Pixel 2, but what drives me crazy is that the lines in the diffs wrap! On top of that, the code font it uses is pretty large, so wrapping happens often and makes reviewing much harder.

The support for per-commit code review (which is only so-so in the desktop web experience) is even harder to use on mobile.

The main activity feed from / is nowhere to be seen, even though this is something I use daily on my laptops (long-standing pet peeve, since this is also non-existent in the mobile web view).

If you follow a link to particular issue comment (for example, from the bottom of a notification email), the Android app will just land you at the top of the issue.

So, having the app is an improvement over the mobile web experience (particularly since the PR review approval button was impossible to hit in the mobile web view without zooming), but IMO there's still a lot to be done here, and I hope they keep executing on it.

When I really have to use GitHub on mobile, I usually use the browser in desktop mode.

How can I trick it into thinking I'm on desktop. Firefox's (for iOS) "Request Desktop Site" button doesn't work for me.

There should be a link in the footer that changes it to the desktop version.

it stopped working for me. I suspect they have made the website responsive now.

I saw there's now an option in Github user settings which allows you to mark your entire account as always serving desktop pages when you're on mobile.

Ironically, can't dig up the link on mobile since I've not yet clicked that button.
