What users say about Habr
From the 61 most recent Google Play reviews in the US.
Users overwhelmingly criticize the app for being a buggy webview wrapper that breaks standard navigation and login flows. The recent update is widely considered a regression from the previous native version, citing poor performance and lack of essential features like dark mode.
Mostly negative (11% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). The main complaints are about login and account problems, and crashes and bugs.
Common complaints
- Login & account: “How to use Google sign in?”
- Crashes & bugs: “It's just web view with lags and bugs”
- Features & content: “content jumping every time”
