First, huge shoutout to the Atlassian team for making this application happen, and being one of the first iOS apps on the Mac. That being said, this application has a long way to go before it can truly be considered a premium, 5-star application. Most of all there doesn't seem to be the polish of a normal Mac application. When clicking on the "Search issues" button on the left side, it brings up a whole other panel to search. So if you click it and start typing quickly, it won't capture any input, which makes the application feel really slow. You also can't resize the side panel by dragging. Also, clicking on a status to change it, should display a dropdown, not another panel to choose the new status. The preferences page also feels like it should be a seperate window (like all other macOS applications), as opposed to a view on top of the normal application. You also can't hover over someone's avatar icon on the board to see the name of the person who it's assigned to. And finally, no support for the app Server makes it a deal breaker for many. Please focus on making this application feel more like a true macOS application.

This iOS-ported Mac app feels alright in general, but it doesn't feel cohesive with macOS and more could be done. For instance, the search bar opens up a search section rather than doing a search inside of that bar. I'm also unable to view any related commits, pull requests, etc. to any issue in my projects. I also can't seem to do Markdown formatting in my descriptions and have to use the formatting toolbar. I do appreciate Atlassian jumping on board with porting their app to the Mac, but it still needs some quality of life updates to make it fit with the Mac.

Looks like it could get somewhere, but very surprising that it was released with such rudimentary controls for editing issues. I created an issue, and when I could not move the cursor position in the editor with the arrow keys on the keyboard, I gave up. I understand this is leveraging the new ability to deliver apps written for the iPad on MacOS, and therefore it might be as much about Apple providing very limited support for keyboard capabilities that do not exist on the iPad. However, I would have recommended holding a release of this until something more usable could be developed. Hopefully this can get turned around in the next couple of months, because I'd really like to have a dedicated app for the app.

I was pretty excited when I saw the email about the new version of a native app, as my chrome looks like a disaster with the app tabs some days. The app is ok, but it fails pretty short in a few key areas. 1) No dashboards, and no way to "pin" filters. This is really one of the only ways for me to keep track of things in my org. Dashboards and pinning to the sidebar are huge things to me. 2) App is somewhat sluggish. When I click on anything it takes a while for the app to render. The website renders significantly faster (3x ) 3) Font rendering is very blurry. I work on a 3 monitor setup as a programmer (2 external my mac) and in all cases the font in the mac app is pretty blurry, whereas it is normal clear font on the web. I think with a few tweaks this could be a decent app, and could help replace having a chrome full of the app tabs, but it just isn't quite there as it currently stands.
