You can't do half the things you can with the website, you cannot change most things about your profile, you can't modify things in a repo. 2FA works pretty fast though

The app has a useful file edit feature which I find helpful for markdown. But it's really long-winded to go to every repository. It would be really cool if GitHub had a separate tab just for markdown repositories, now that mark down is the new code. It would be really useful. And a quick nav link would be productive, as opposed to the current long-winded navigation. Or maybe a second app from GitHub that edits markdown and syncs it as a repository.

Cannot cancel a subscription on no more existent email. Cannot send a message asking assistance, it says "something went wrong"

If you upgrade your plan at the end of your subscription, it doesn't start a new cycle. Will end the same date from your previous plan. So better to wait 1 day until end your plan, and you update, this way you avoid paying 2x100 USD in two days

Why anyone thought these were the things I would want to see on a GitHub mobile app I have no idea. Start over.

Typical Micros lop app. User tries to open an issue/ discuss on a "starred repository", this app redirects to browser to log in again. Seriously what is the function of this app then if user is asked to log in via browser again to do basic stuff!
