GitLab Control for Android

The app struggles to remember. Event tracking for projects reverts as soon as you click save. Makes it incredibly difficult to take the app seriously

Not optimized for large screen iPhones, looks weird on my Max.

I just installed this app. Clicked “verify connection” and got “cannot connect to server”. That’s with the default server value of “gitlab.com”.

Nice to access from phone but it doesn’t render markdown/html

A project I contribute to uses a self hosted GitLab instance to manage source code, so imagine my delight to find a GitLab app on the App Store. Unfortunately, that delight was immediately washed away when I opened the app. I keep my devices in dark mode 100% of the time. Opening this app blasted me with white light. It’s 2021. Dark mode is a thing. Next, I tried to log into my GitLab instance using a password pulled from my password manager. No luck, presumably because I have 2FA enabled. Next, I notice that approximately 10% of the screen is taken up by a giant banner ad. The app doesn’t use autolayout, it doesn’t even support modern Mobile aspect ratios. I didn’t get much farther than this, mostly because I don’t particularly care to spend my evening fighting an app that is blinding me each time I look at it. If you’re looking for a way to interact with GitLab on your Android or Mobile, just use Mobile Safari.
