Voyager released to the App Store!
Voyager released to the App Store!
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! ๐

love it <3Permanently Deleted
Very suspect!
โIf Iโm not the product, then WHO AM I??โ
Congrats! Iโve been using the PWA for a few weeks and Iโve been convinced to do it for my next project.
I was hoping the "scroll freeze after swipe back" bug would've been fixed by this...
Wait it doesnโt?
It doesn't fix this unfortunately. This is a Safari/Webkit bug that still isn't fixed.
More info for context here: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/18
It's still a web app really.
Hi @aeharding , is there a list with the differences (in place, not planned) between the native app and the PWA?
Iโm not interested in the scroll to top by tapping on the top, kind of things, neither haptic feedback. What I was really looking forward is push notifications (which can be implemented in PWAs, since Iโm using one in Safari which supports this ๐) and badges.
Either way, I can download it for the review purposeโฆ Keep up with the good work.
Yeah, Iโll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
How can I get the old icon back? Iโm not a fan of the new one.
In the future there will be an app icon switcher :)
App icon switching is planned for a future update. Maybe the original will be included, but I canโt say.
Any options would great! Some of my favorites werenโt included in the poll
Congratulations for all your hard work. This webapp/app makes using Lemmy so much better. And your constant updates have been giving me upgrade dopamine hits. Thank you!
Posting from the app, looking great! Thank you, @aeharding, youโre doing amazing work here. Migrating to Lemmy from the other place has been such a breeze with this app to smooth the way.
Been waiting for this app to be released on iOS and it DOES NOT disappoint! Hands down the best way to view Lemmy.
If itโs already this good on its first release I canโt wait to see what the future updates will bring!
As a former Apollo user, this app also brings me back to the good times of using it before it was shutdown.
Fantastic work devs!
Whoa. This looks very promising! THANK YOU.
Iโm just a layman in terms of app development, but have a basic understanding of the monumental amount of work that has gone into this app, so I would like to congratulate everyone, or singular person, who has made my viewing habits as streamlined as they are.
I look forward to your success, and wish you all the praise, financial, emotional and learning support you could wish for.
Awesome! Been waiting for this to switch from Memmy, as I loved the PWA except for the limitations. Thanks for your hard work!
Fabulous
Looks good to me. What I still miss from Apollo is a swipe right to get โbackโ to a post I just swiped left from. Something like the browser forward button.
Great news!
I've been using the Android version, and it's awesome, y'all IOS buddies are in for a treat.
Awesome news! Congratulations aeharding and team! ๐๐ฅณ
Downloaded and reviewed. :)
Already downloaded! Didnโt realize how much I missed the haptics
Congratulations!
Commenting directly from the new app!!
Thank you! It looks and works wonderfully!
I don't really use any apple devices but I'm really happy for you guys. Congrats!
It was actually released on the Play Store first :).
Thank you for all your work into this app! Currently replying from the iOS app ๐
Awesome work :)
This is odd. I can upvote, scroll, sort, login โฆ all of it with Memmy. None of that works the first time with Voyager. I keep getting errors saying it canโt login, canโt vote and so on. I have to try it twice for it to work.
That's very strange, I haven't heard any reports similar to that. I'll keep an eye out though. Sorry for the problems.
it's possible that it's because at the time you were trying to do that the instance was down
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 youยฟ?
Not too much thanks to https://capacitorjs.com
What are these benefits?
Posted from the native app :)
No benefits. I was asking the main dev how much extra work he has to do to maintain the native versions
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 that so you can have conversations with yourself?
๐ Rather because itโs sometimes more useful to comment with a โlocalโ account instead of the standard one I browse with. Itโs a little complicated with the whole federated approach.
Is it just me or is the animation when collapsing comments is very choppy?
Not just you. Also very choppy for me, both on the PWA and on the app from F-Droid.
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.
Hey, would it not be possible to switch to our PWA? Or is the code completely different?
Woah boi do I feel at home ! It looks so much like Apollo, I love it ! Itโs so nice, everything is where it should be. Iโm loving it so far, thank you so much
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.
Sorry, I'm confused by your comment. You should be able to login to custom lemmy instances just fine.
Ahh I think they have just clicked the drop down for the โconnected to instanceโ when using anonymous instance rather than the login button in top right
