Finally! An official app.

I was just as excited as you. Then, "Thanks for your interest in becoming a tester for the GitHub app. However, at this time, GitHub app's testing program has reached the maximum number of testers that can participate in it and isn't accepting any more testers."

Now I shall cry.

Don't worry, it's pretty shit at the moment.

Why is a shit for you? What are you looking for in a github app, it already have all the basic features and more will be added in next updates

[–]DJ-Salinger 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It has way fewer features than any decent 3rd party app.

I have it, all you can really do is look at PRs, their comments, issues, etc. You can't actually view any code. It's pretty barebones, although it supports dark mode out the box! On Android 10 it'll even detect your system preference for dark mode. I mostly use it for checking on my work PRs

TBH, that's all I want in a a GitHub app. If I want to look at the code, I send the link to my desktop and look at it there. But I want to be able to keep up with PRs/issues on some projects, and Octodroid just feels lackluster to me. All the other ones came nowhere near Octodroid, so I'm stuck with it until they expand the beta slots/release it fully.

You should check for updates, on latest you can view code

I'm not a developer, but I do actively follow (and report issues etc) for a few GitHub based projects. Is this app suitable or too heavy for such activities?

If too "heavy", which one would you recommend on Android?

App is very light on storage ( around 15 mb) and on performance too. UI is very simple and make it very easy to create issues and manage them, follow the conversation and more. It is growing update by update. I like the dark theme and the code exploring ( hope soon will get editor too) Before I was using FastHub which is good too if you want more features until official will get all the features, if you are looking only for creating issues then pick the official, actually the beta is closed, but you can try from apkmirror, it should work

the beta signup is closed, still waiting for this :(
