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Please note, it’s currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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!
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
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?
Holy Shit! This app is great! My favorite was Connect before this. I just downloaded it and it is exactly what I want for a lemmy client. Reminds me of Apollo.
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!
I was on a development end of this and managers always pushed for the ios and android apps to be identical. It always ended up being the ios being the main and android being the afterthought copy.
Whenever i see an android app trying to look like ios, it signals that the quality is lacking.
It’s definitely Not lacking in quality. I’ve never used an iOS app, so I don’t really know what people mean when they say it looks like an iOS app, but Voyager (formerly wefwef) is a great app.
What i like from voyager is the “mark as read on scroll” setting. This makes it so i get something new every time I open the app without having to mark as read every post that I came across
Infinity for lemmy. It’s the only one I don’t see, but it’s not on the Google Play store yet. Of all those those Connect and Thunder are the forerunners for me. With Connect being the one I’m leaning more on.
Same here. I used Joey when on Reddit and connect has the closest feel. Only thing I’m personally missing that none of them, to my knowledge/looking, have is tapping to upvote (2 taps) and downvote (3 taps). Gestures aren’t bad it’s just personally annoying on a larger phone with one hand.

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.
I think it actually runs better on Samsung Internet over Chrome.
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, orif there’s plans to support Kbin in the future?E: It does not currently support Kbin.
Nothing supports kbin as they (so far) do not have any official API to use.
Good point, I keep forgetting about that. Hopefully they get that up and running soon!
I am really impressed. I had assumed it would be too much work to create native apps for both IOS and Android.
Is this identical to the PWA other than being packaged with a browser?
Yup, it’s the exact same app!
This is basically “Apollo lite” for Android, and as primarily an iOS user, it is a must-get app for me.
Just in case you didn’t know, Voyager is also available as iOS app here
Holy Shit! This app is great! My favorite was Connect before this. I just downloaded it and it is exactly what I want for a lemmy client. Reminds me of Apollo.
Tbh feels identical to PWA with Brave but, felt good already so no complaints
The PWA seems to perform better for me

Why does it looks like an iOS app
It’s inspired by Apollo, which is also why the dev called it Voyager: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program
I hate it when they do it.
I was on a development end of this and managers always pushed for the ios and android apps to be identical. It always ended up being the ios being the main and android being the afterthought copy.
Whenever i see an android app trying to look like ios, it signals that the quality is lacking.
Yeah and I get that they want to do one code base like that, but tbh just use electron at that point and do your own design.
It’s definitely Not lacking in quality. I’ve never used an iOS app, so I don’t really know what people mean when they say it looks like an iOS app, but Voyager (formerly wefwef) is a great app.
You can change the look on
Setting> Appearance > Theme > Device mode > android (Beta)
Ehh the app certainly isn’t for me. Seems like plenty of other people aren’t bothered by it
What i like from voyager is the “mark as read on scroll” setting. This makes it so i get something new every time I open the app without having to mark as read every post that I came across
Sync has that option which is nice. I’ll probably swap to Boost for Lemmy when that comes out, which also had that option before.
Hmmm which one am I missing?
Name the folder Rat pen
To answer your question, you’re missing Infinity for Lemmy, Arctius, Beyond for Lemmy and Slide.
Check the Lemmy apps megathread: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
Infinity for lemmy. It’s the only one I don’t see, but it’s not on the Google Play store yet. Of all those those Connect and Thunder are the forerunners for me. With Connect being the one I’m leaning more on.
Edit: Unless it’s the lemmotif app.
It’s on Izzy’s F-Droid repo: https://lemmy.world/post/2669205 😁
I’ve been using liftoff the most atm. Though none of these tick all my boxes yet.

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

Might want to tag aeharding as he’s the dev, I just cross-posted his announcement here :-)
I just noticed it and post to the original thread. Thank you!
First maybe a stupid question, but how do I create a post? Did not find any button for this.
Second, please put the comment answer section below the postsnippet, when commenting a post.
Third, please move the share and save button in the feed next to the vote buttons instead of the 3 dots. There is still enough place
Lastly, thanks for this App 🌞
I’m not aware if there are other ways to post.
Ah okay thanks, I am using Liftoff and just tried out Voyager and Arctius. In Liftoff you have a big button for this 😁
