Pinching the screen (especially with single hand) doesn’t reliably zoom images and I have to try multiple times to get it to work

    Are you sure this is not an issue with your phone? I can zoom just fine on Jerboa

      Nope, I have the same issue, but I have narrowed down the exact behavior.

      If you put 2 fingers on the screen in a fullscreen image and slide them even the tiniest millimeter it will go into “pan mode” or so instead of zooming mode. You can no longer zoom until you release your fingers and place them without moving them at all before you pinch to zoom. (I have this happen much more often in practice while using the phone 1 handed on an unstable environment like a tram or train.

      Interestingly, you can pan and zoom at the same time if already zoomed in, but on a full image where panning doesn’t do anything, it will lock both actions until you release your fingers.
