OG name and logo were much cooler in my opinion

[–] captsneeze@lemmy.one 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The logo in OPs image is definitely the best IMO. There’s an option in the iOS app to use this icon if you wish. Not sure if it’s an option in the web app.

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

It really is the best. I hope they never get of this icon!

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah I’m actually using that myself lol

Though I still feel wefwef was a much more original and memorable name than voyager. Also it is fun to say

Yeah "wefwef" was unique and easily searchable. "Voyager", not so much. Using a common word for an app is not really a great move if you want users to easily find your product. Still, I love the app and what the dev has done! Unfortunately though since I got a new phone since wefwef's inception, I no longer have the original pwa or logo on my phone!

My PWA version was broken with the way the back button worked anyway though so I suppose it's for the best. I use the APK version now.

Wait voyager is wefwef. It was my first before I left for memmy but I eventually switched back apparently

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Yes, wefwef was renamed Voyager.

Bamboozled!

The ol’ Lemmy App Switch A Roo.

[–] AlgonquinHawk@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Same. I was using Memmy but saw Voyager and noticed it’s far closer to Apollo and updated more frequent and consistently.

A conspiracy theorist's worst nightmare

[–] ferg111cious@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 8 months ago

Me too! It works and I’m not really worried about missing any features.

[–] kryllic@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Same, it's a classic

Haven't clicked mine in ages. Does it still work?

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Yep. It will even update the webapp to the latest version inside.

with nova launcher i can change the name back to wefwef

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nice. This is an original one made way back when lol.

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

i also had it before i switched to nova launcher

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

On iOS you can sort of do this by creating a shortcut. It’s not as easy as Nova, but at least there is a way I can still use custom icons and names even though I’m no longer on Android.

So my Voyager app currently uses the Apollo icon I used when Reddit killed it.
