Voyager released to Google Play!

AlmightySnoo, 10 months ago

I was keeping Chrome installed only for this app as PWAs are slower on Firefox, now I can simply remove Chrome!

I use Voyager on Samsung Internet. Helps me get around installing Chrome.

AngryDemonoid, 10 months ago

I think it actually runs better on Samsung Internet over Chrome.

Been hearing good things and am looking forward to trying it out!

Damn voyager, sync, infinity all within like 24 hours of each other!

Never heard of voyager previously but I’ll give it a shot! Liking infinity a lot too. Both your apps should copy connects feature of blocking users and instances right from the post. It’s super handy, especially when you realize someone is spamming, just give them the ol block and forget about it.

Voyager web app is quite impressive tbh. One of the best web apps I have ever used.

That being said, the infinity app feels like home, I have been using to for over 3 years after all.

BrainisfineIthink, 10 months ago

I’m just counting the days until Boost for Lemmy releases but I feel you. The UI of infinity is very nice, and the feature customization is solid. I’ve been comparing all new apps to connect since I found it, and it’s still the one I keep coming back to. It has less polish but it checks all the feature boxes for me! Infinity is the only other app I’ve added to my home screen though, I could see it worming it’s way in.

AngryDemonoid, 10 months ago

Same here! I tried Infinity and Sync, but it just didn’t feel right. I’m mainly on Voyager for now, but I’ve been trying out all of the apps.

“There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” I love this new format, find what works for you. Happy to see all these developers working on things it’s given me hope in the internet again… as dumb as that sounds

Voyager is my favorite so far as an ex Apollo user it just feels like an old home. But I love hearing the sync fans enjoying their preferences back. Let’s embrace this everyone!

Oneobi, 10 months ago

Great to see.

Since sync dev ramped up his price I’m exploring apps.

Klystron, 10 months ago

I think sync does that already? If you hit the overflow menu in a post there’s a filter button, which let’s you hide either the user, the community, or the whole instance.

BrainisfineIthink, 10 months ago

I meant specifically voyager and infinity, I’m way too turned off by Syncs tracking and ad filled cash grab antica. Hard pass.

gunpachi, 10 months ago

I hope they add multi account support soon.

yesterdayshero, 10 months ago

It already has it. If you click on your account and then edit, you’ll have the option to add another account.

gunpachi, 10 months ago

You are right, I just checked after reading your comment. I was under the assumption that one needs to add their account from the settings menu.

Thanks mate.

Oh, those screenshots are giving me some real RIF vibes. I'm gonna have to test this out later! Any idea if this works with Kbin, or if there's plans to support Kbin in the future?

E: It does not currently support Kbin.

M_Reimer, 10 months ago

Nothing supports kbin as they (so far) do not have any official API to use.

Chozo, 10 months ago

Good point, I keep forgetting about that. Hopefully they get that up and running soon!

This iOS design language on Android is tripping me out but weirdly also feels like home, since Apollo was my home when I was in iOS. Looking forward to seeing what’s next for the project!

happyhippo, 10 months ago

Too iOS-y for me, thanks.

Staze, 10 months ago

It also have android theme

UESPA_Sputnik, 10 months ago

Which looks like a weird hybrid between iOS style and Android Lollipop style.

I’d rather stay with Sync for that sweet MaterialYou style.

DieguiTux8623, 10 months ago

I really like this project, so kudos! Both as PWA on the browser and in the wrapped version it is GREAT!

Carighan, 10 months ago

Is this identical to the PWA other than being packaged with a browser?

AlmightySnoo, 10 months ago

Yup, it’s the exact same app!

Tatters, 10 months ago

I am really impressed. I had assumed it would be too much work to create native apps for both IOS and Android.

trimmerfrost, 10 months ago

The PWA seems to perform better for me

adamantris, 10 months ago

Have been trying the wrapper version for 5-10 minutes now, and I think it runs smoother for me compared to the PWA. Maybe it was a Firefox problem, but am very happy with the wrapper rn. So thanks!

amarnasmoths, 10 months ago

I’m so happy! I’ve tried all the available apps and Voyager was always my favorite. Now I can uninstall the WebApp and give a respite to my browser history lmao.

On Reddit I was an Infinity user, but I’ve fallen in love with Voyager

keyez, 10 months ago

Weird, that link works to install and eventually open the app on the play store but I’m not able to find it otherwise.

AlmightySnoo, 10 months ago

Same for me, I just rated it in case it helps. It’s probably because that’s the first app aeharding ever put on Play Store with that account

NENathaniel, 10 months ago

Tbh feels identical to PWA with Brave but, felt good already so no complaints
