If this was free + IAP I would install it. Maybe the free version supports 1 repo or (following the GitHub model) unlimited public repos.<p>I think $20 is a great price point (honestly I think you have room to grow) but you need to give people an opportunity to experience the benefits of the product.

I don&#x27;t mean to be abrasive, but landing page could not be less informative. I&#x27;m a full-time developer and a big believer in code review, but I have no interest in downloading the app based on the website -- I don&#x27;t know what it is, really. I think you are going to convert a lot better by actually explaining why I should download the app, rather than just providing a link. Why is this better than current tools? Does this integrate with Github? Bitbucket?

I&#x27;ve always found code review to be incredibly valuable. I remember a long time ago reading that NASA studied a bunch of different development methodologies and found code review to be the most effective at reducing defects. However, we already sit in front of our computers too much, and its hard to shift mindsets from coding to editing.<p>The iPad seemed like a good alternative to reviewing code on your computer. You can get away from your desk, and change your mindset.

I&#x27;ve been using this since the beta. The entire code of my startup is on GitHub so it really helps to be able to monitor and triage incoming changes quickly.<p>The app itself is still missing some things for my particular workflow: I&#x27;d like to have visibility on incoming code that&#x27;s not part of pull requests. Like simple pushes to branches.<p>I&#x27;d also have the possibility to unsubscribe from repos directly from the app.

I&#x27;ve been playing around with it for few minutes and it looks promising. Few things I think it would be nice for the app to have:<p>- Comment preview.<p>- Symbol row on top of keyboard (such as ` and Markdown symbols.)<p>- Font selection for code view.<p>- Some indication of which line is currently being tapped in code view.<p>Also, I couldn&#x27;t get the app to list pull requests from a repo with Issues disabled. A bug, maybe?

I&#x27;d like to suggest a little more information about what CodeReview is.<p>The web page doesn&#x27;t give me any real hints. The App Store listing only shows in the title that it&#x27;s a GitHub-only thing.<p>I don&#x27;t suggest overloading with unnecessary detail, but it would be nice to know something before spending $20.

Perhaps double the size of the screenshot, so people can see the app features more clearly?

&gt; You must be at least 17 years old to download this app.<p>Why is a code review app rated as 17+?

Add an about page, more screenshots, a bit about the team. Ya know, salesmanship.

Does this only support GitHub? Any plans to add BitBucket?
