I'm truly curious: who uses Android for development?

I'd think getting a github Android app just right would be a low priority.

As a maintainer of a popular and actively developed open source project, I would totally use the app to respond to issues and pull requests if it were usable. Unfortunately, the app is a dumpster fire, so I just use github.com.

If you do use android for development, you wouldn't need a github app to push your code to github. You would need a git app, and several great ones exist.

I meant to use it as a communications tool, not for pushing/pulling/etc. Responding to issues, accepting/declining PRs, and so forth.

The gitskarios app is a good alternative.

Octodroid is a winner.
