How is the phone app lacking? I am in the lucky situation to use zulip on the desktop at work. I often work long days, but my phone I keep 100% free of work stuff. So I have never seen the phone app, but I have heard unspecific complaints about the phone app before.

there’s a lot of odd behaviour, replying to a topic seems to not work so well or to be inconsistent.

sometimes you cant easily select a topic to reply to; responding to a topic in the stream view requires that you open the topic by pressing the slim topic header (not the message itself, like the desktop client)

You cant start a poll.

deleting a message results in the message being edited to the string: “(deleted)” which is not what the desktop does.

editing text seems fine unless its a word near the left of the text box, in which case the keyboard toggles between visible and hidden (moving the entire UI).
