Hi there!

Voyager has been released to Google Play! You can check it out here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.vger.voyager

Please try it out and let me know what you think below! Because it's brand new, let me know if you have any problems relative to the web app and I'll try to fix them ASAP. And if you have time, leave a review, that helps Voyager gain exposure.

Why use the native Android version? Well, there's a couple main benefits:

The back button works much better!
Your browser history shouldn't be inundated with Voyager entries.

Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager. Hopefully it should update soon!

As for Apple peeps, that's still in progress. If you're on TestFlight and have an Apple Watch, check out the brand new Apple Watch app (coming very shortly in an update). It's quite simple at the moment, but kind of neat and useful!

Can anyone comment and how's the battery performance of the native app compared to the PWA?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should be similar.

[–] poquitocabeza@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Awesome, thanks!

Unfortunately I get the "this app is incompatible with your device" from the playstore. Sony Xperia 1 IV (Android 13)

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

lol and meanwhile I bet you have no issues with the PWA.

Congrats! Looks good

[–] EarlyBaboon@lemdro.id 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The back action doesn't seem to work when in the home page. I was expecting app to get closed.

Yooooo

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I don't know how but I feel the haptics work better here than in any other app in my phone!

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What's the benefits of using this version compared to the PWA version?

Edit: I'm blind, it's mentioned right in the post

[–] botorfj@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

yes!!! finally!!!!

[–] shashi154263@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Woah! That was quick!

I have a problem. It's not really to native app though. It's related to themes. Themes look good in Apple mode, but in Android mode switches look half blue half red. It looks weird.

I use Chromes password manager, but the app doesn't allow to auto fill the contents. Maybe that could be a possible improvement! Great job!!

[–] breakfastmtn@geddit.social 2 points 2 years ago

Amazing! Just some limited use so far but the experience seems every bit as good as the PWA. Thanks!

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you so much!

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you! It works great and I love it.

This is my go-to app for Lemmy now!

[–] Tippon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Does it use my blocked communities list from the web app, or do I need to start again?

The Android app I've been waiting for! Just dl'd it but will give it a spin overthe next few days.

[–] sennalonso1981@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Again and again this app is fantastic

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

First annoying bug I guess: when you try to swipe down to scroll up in a profile view it tries to refresh the page. I don't have this issue with the PWA.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's odd - I'm not able to reproduce but I'll definitely keep an eye out. Let me know in Github if you can find a consistent reproduction

[–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can reproduce it as well. Only on the page that comes up on the center tab, slowly scrolling up and down cause the refresh effect to start erratically.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, should be fixed in next release!

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Can confirm it's fixed, thanks a lot!

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

here's a video showing what I just described (off-topic: the Lemmy web UI keeps stretching the videos to full page width smh):

[–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 2 points 2 years ago

You are not alone!

[–] pallettownbry@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

When using 3 button navigation on my Pixel Fold running the latest Android 14 Beta, on light mode, the buttons are white, blending in with the background of the app... If that makes sense. Almost as if they are transparent.

[–] PenguinOfWar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The app looks and works great, nice work! Are custom keyword filters on the roadmap?
