I just wish the mobile app had the ability to show languages used in a repo, just like the website. And also, when you're reading your own starred repos, it's not possible to filter the results of your search.

I like GitHub ❤️ Feature Suggestion in mobile App : Please add a "Notes" feature in the GitHub mobile app. We can write a description before a commit, but sometimes we find issues after the commit is done. A Notes section would let us add comments later, such as "the code still has a bug" or "needs more fixes." This would make commit history easier to understand and review. • Give the button to make Repository Private and Public from GitHub Mobile App

I would appreciate it if the code editor were more user-friendly. For instance, I would love to see indentations and line numbers while editing.

This app is not so good. The UI is very bad (although the web UI is great) and it doesn't let me apply the change suggestions in PR directly from the app (I need to go to the web version and open the PR to do it)

Under-featured and exasperatingly intrusive. The app version has far less functionality than browsing the mobile-responsive site in a browse, but also LOVES to excessively assert itself for any GitHub urls, screwing up the browsing experience. The end result is that I finally uninstalled it out of frustration, and I'm now just using the mobile site via Firefox for a mote consistent and productive experience.

I want profile home screen back not default copilot screen. Why u guys made the 2nd class feature the copilot as main feature of this app rather than the main home screen profile. Please remove these new changes I hate, and it's poor experience.

Always force using browser for creating issue, what the point of this app, if have to remember password and keep logging to browsers plus return to app to authenticate 2fa, e.g. brave browser repo trying to create issue only possible via browser not this app so remember login details perform 2fa etc
