### 3/5 — Permission issue

*2026-05-15*

I tried to sign in with oauth but the consent screen has some powerful permissions like accessing private actions.. which I after rejected and uninstalled.

### 2/5 — Font Size?

*2025-05-02*

Should respect device font size or allow the user to change font size within the app.

### 4/5 — Great only for subscribers

*2025-02-21*

This app is functionally great. I can search up any question and it will come up, but I also like to help people and wish I could post questions and answers without paying for premium. I think that’s a bit outrageous.

### 2/5 — Persistent bugs and now subscription force me to delete

*2025-01-17*

I like this app but I’ve noticed that scrolling through posts always shows random duplicate posts and persistent lack of correct code formatting and such. I tolerated these even though I had previously paid. But now with the move to subscriptions, I can finally delete the app once and for all. Tootles.

**Developer response:** My apologies, I made a mistake. I have already submitted an updated version that addresses the issues. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and for your support. If you have any additional requests, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

### 4/5 — Need improvement

*2024-12-15*

LaTeX equations are not rendered in the app. The list is weird that many years old questions are on top. The filters are not consistent with the stack exchange website, and no bounties questions can be filtered.

### 5/5 — Simple UI !!

*2024-10-15, version 3.2.0*

This is the best app! I hope it supports Japanese !!

### 2/5 — Can’t see my questions

*2024-10-13*

I can see my questions on my desktop but they don’t show up in the app

**Developer response:** Good morning, I’m sorry to hear about this. May I ask if, from the homepage, you’re in the correct channel to view your questiona, and if you’ve tried force-quitting the app to trigger an update?
Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Great Stack app with math viewing

*2024-09-25, version 3.1.0*

The app is great so far. I really enjoy the native gesture and clean UI. However, the app is not supporting math viewing right now. It would be great if the dev can add this feature to the next update.

Update: nvm, I found the mathjax option. Great app! 5 stars deserved!!

### 5/5 — Perfecta

*2024-06-23, version 3.1.0*

Aunque no esté detrás una gran empresa o ser una app oficial, es perfecta para tener todos tus perfiles de stack overflow, askubuntu y demás en el móvil. La experiencia es brutal(para mi gusto): te logeas una vez sin dar rodeos y se te sincroniza todo, las integraciones van perfectas, la interfaz responde al toque, limpia, muy intuitiva, sin adornos ni funciones que no aporten. Me falta comprobar el comportamiento de las notificaciones, pero por lo poco que la he usado es una app de altísima calidad. Enhorabuena al desarrollador🤝!

### 3/5 — Search needs to be improved

*2023-10-03, version 2.7.3*

Search seems to be very specifically tied to single keywords, I could not search with multiple terms separated by spaces.
