It's taken a lot of hard work and I'm excited to announce that Voyager is now on the Apple App Store!

If you have time, download the app and consider leaving a review! This helps Voyager gain visibility and legitimacy.

Get the App!

Can I continue to use the PWA?

Of course! The PWA is self-hostable, hackable, and receives updates quicker. However, it doesn't have access to certain native APIs that the native app takes advantage of.

Can I continue to use the Test Flight beta?

Yes, but I recommend switching to the App Store release if you aren't actively involved in testing. It's a more stable release :)

Enjoy! πŸ’™

Would it be possible to change accounts while staying on a post? In case I browse with one account and want to comment from a different one? Or some setting to autoswitch accounts when I open a post from a different instance which I also have an account on?

Is it just me or is the animation when collapsing comments is very choppy?

[–] randint@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not just you. Also very choppy for me, both on the PWA and on the app from F-Droid.

[–] StoicLime@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Not exactly glad to hear it, but relieved that it isn't a device issue. All the people talking about how fluid it is....what? It's a good app but it's not fluid at ALL, heck even Jerboa is like 10x more fluid for me.

However, it doesn't have access to certain native APIs that the native app takes advantage of.

How much extra programming overhead does adding code to use these native APIs add to youΒΏ?

What are these benefits?

Posted from the native app :)

[–] Sentau@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No benefits. I was asking the main dev how much extra work he has to do to maintain the native versions

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any chance you'll include the option to select which browser to use as the default rendered? Sync let's me choose that currently, and it's one of my main reasons for using that over Voyager, because I much prefer the Voyager UI (and ad-free experience).

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean choose a default browser for external links? If so, yes, here: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/553

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for responding to me, yes that is exactly what I'm looking for. It's this supported on Android too?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmmm, the link on that GitHub issue seems to be going nowhere (at least, it doesn't load for me). Any instructions on how I can set the default browser behaviour?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not implemented yet.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Ah okay, that makes sense. I'll keep checking in on the project then until that's ready. I don't want to use my system's default browser due to corporate filtering, so whenever this feature is implemented I'm ditching Sync :-)

[–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hey, would it not be possible to switch to our PWA? Or is the code completely different?

[–] AndreyAsimow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Will you implement in the Future the "Plus button" to create posts without actually visiting one community?

[–] creed10@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the android one is on github, no? will it be released on google play eventually?

Cannot report a bug, iPad store version. Was asked which instance I'm on with login and password, so 100% fail. Basically this app does not know what federation is. Sad, it was a great app.
