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! 💙
“The developer does not collect any data from this app.”
love it <3Yeah! It respects your privacy and there’s no ads!
Congrats! I’ve been using the PWA for a few weeks and I’ve 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 doesn’t?
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
Is this an apple only problem¿? I don’t face this on android
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.
Removed by mod
No list right now but I will be adding one to the readme!
How can I get the old icon back? I’m not a fan of the new one.
App icon switching is planned for a future update. Maybe the original will be included, but I can’t say.
In the future there will be an app icon switcher :)
Fabulous
Whoa. This looks very promising! THANK YOU.
Great news!
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.
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!
Congratulations!
Awesome news! Congratulations aeharding and team! 🎉🥳
Downloaded and reviewed. :)
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.
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 you¿?
Not too much thanks to https://capacitorjs.com
Yeah, I’ll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
