Constantly re-auth

This is missing a lot but what’s there is inaccessible because it makes you re auth pretty much every time you launch the app. For those of us with strong MFA this makes it practically impossible to use.

Too many ads

The app would be useful if there wasn’t a massive advert taking 20% of the screen space. I wouldn’t pay for it because it’s not a smooth experience.

Does not connect in 2023

It requests the server name, but is not able to connect to the public default. Seems like this app is non functional at this point.

Missing a lot of features

To start the app is in an annoying spot at the top. I would be happy to upgrade to the paid version to get around that. But there are too many missing features. You can view a few things. But anything such as commenting and approving merge requests, commenting on issues, and anything with pipelines is not a feature. Plus there no dark mode

Not a real git client.

This app is just a web wrapper instead of a real git client. It does not support offline mode. Etc, I must have internet to access my file. Btw, offline mode is the core advantages of git over other sources control.

Too much ad, source code browsing is a paid upgrade

TLDR: stick to gitlab web ui

Poor

Pretty poor. Poor UI, poor ad placement, poor functionality. Poor.

GitLab tasks

Application missing critical information to set in tasks such as epic, due date, can not edit task. As result it is useless for my purpose.

Struggle fest

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 working

It doesn’t let me login. An error pops up whenever I click on the verify connection

Great app, not optimized

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

Doesn’t work at all

I just installed this app.

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

Doesn’t render markdown/html

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

Worst.app.ever

Doesn’t connect. No help. Terrible UI.

I’d love to be able to use it but it isn’t exactly intuitive.

Just remove from AppStore please and save everyone’s time.

Doesn’t work

Opening screenstates can’t connect to server when you press Verify Connection. App is a waste of time.

Should be deleted from App Store.

Numerous problems

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 iPad 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 iPhone or iPad, just use Mobile Safari.

Leaves a lot to be desired

A bit basic, but good app that works smoothly.

It would be really great for me to have an option to work with multiple GitLab instances at the same time.

My company has a local GL instance that we use for internal projects, library development etc.
Our clients have their own GitLab where we track client’s projects.
Sometimes I also use GL as service.

Having an option to Approve MR would be fantastic.

Option to see all MR assigned to me on the dashboard would also be nice.

Very helpful

Easy to access from mobile.

Completely useless

Unless you pay. Can’t do anything with the free version with my project. Moving it to GitHub instead.

Good UI, missing some features.

Has most basic things, but missing some required features such as approving MRs
