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! 💙

    I was hoping the “scroll freeze after swipe back” bug would’ve been fixed by this…

        Yep it’s a Safari (and its webview) bug. This is a quirk that will haunt this app and I don’t think there’s much that can be done from developer’s side other than porting this app to a native library.

          The safari bug is actually resolved in the native app for iOS. It only ignores gestures if you swipe quickly while the view is still transitioning, but it no longer latches which is the safari bug.

          The problem is that Ionic view transitions are too slow on swipe back (vs native views) this is an Ionic bug though that can be resolved in a future version of Ionic. Basically the view transitions too slowly and you try to swipe right at the tail end of the animation and this initial gesture is ignored.

          But it should no longer “freeze” until you stop all gestures, this is resolved in the native app.

            Oh nice.

            It’s still driving me crazy though. I’ll wait patiently for that to get fixed…

    Congrats! I’ve been using the PWA for a few weeks and I’ve been convinced to do it for my next project.

    Been waiting for this app to be released on iOS and it DOES NOT disappoint! Hands down the best way to view Lemmy.

    If it’s already this good on its first release I can’t 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!

    Posting from the app, looking great! Thank you, @aeharding, you’re doing amazing work here. Migrating to Lemmy from the other place has been such a breeze with this app to smooth the way.

    Looks good to me. What I still miss from Apollo is a swipe right to get „back“ to a post I just swiped left from. Something like the browser forward button.

    I’m 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!
