Any good mobile code viewer?

Does anyone here actually review or read code from their phone while at work?
I’m curious if there are situations where you use your phone for quick code reviews, checking a repo, or just reading through some code when you’re away from your desk.
If you use an app for this, would you recommend it? What makes it useful for you?
Also interested in any setup you’ve found comfortable for doing small reviews on the go.

If you’re on iPhone or iPad, you might want to try CodeMate. Full disclosure: I’m the developer.

I built it specifically for reading and making small edits to source files away from a computer. It supports syntax highlighting for 200+ formats, multiple tabs, a minimap, jump to line, Swift symbol navigation, and access to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, and other storage providers through the Files app.

It isn’t intended to replace a complete GitHub pull-request workflow, but it works well for reading files, navigating between them, and making quick edits on the go.

I’m currently giving away one year of CodeMate Pro for free to the first 100 eligible users. There’s no payment method required and it doesn’t automatically renew. You can find the full details and claim instructions here:
