Does this guy even sleep, so many updates and it gets better and better. Thanks very much for the good work. Just downloaded it and it works perfectly also as App.

I'm starting to suspect they're a rogue ai.

iOS UI/UX on Android doesn't make any sense

[-] wason@lemmy.ninja 21 points 1 year ago

Settings / Appearance / Themes / Device mode / Android (beta)

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago

Looks pretty beta though...

[-] Mereo@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Well... It's is beta...

[-] happyhippo@feddit.it 10 points 1 year ago

Someone finally said it. Can't stand it, sorry.

[-] shashi154263@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It has Android mode also.

[-] westyvw@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I must be an idiot, as I cant tell the damn difference. There are posts. They have thumbnails. I scroll through posts, I click on and read comments. How the hell is different than any other Lemmy app?

It kinda bothers me to have an iOS UI on my Android phone lol.

[-] techgearwhips@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

There's an android Mode. But it isn't really material ui either. It threw me off at first, but having the same EXACT experience on my Desktop, iOS, and Android is 🔥🔥🔥.

[-] Rossel@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't have iOS devices, but I already installed Sync on my desktop (W11 Android subsystem) and laptop. So I'm getting the same experience everywhere, with the added benefits of tablet mode on desktop.

Why bother. Version two is already available. Voyager 2 by NASA.

Is it weird that I like the iOS mode look rather then the Android one on my Android phone?

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

It looks like a very old version of Android. Sync is much better in terms of adopting the new Material You design philosophy.

I think the Android mode is not completely polished yet

[-] 99nights@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah says beta right

[-] fisco@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Oddly enough, I'm also quite liking the iOS mode...🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] donut4ever@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not weird. I'm an android user, but I like the iOS look a lot better. iOS does look better ~~thank~~ than android.

If you search for "voyager lemmy" reddit is like the 3rd hit, and "voyager for lemmy" is like #30 after a bunch of completely random apps.

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 29 points 1 year ago

We need to give Google time to properly index the app, since it's been released recently. I think they don't easily surface new apps in order to prevent phishing or spam.

By the way, leaving 5 stars and a review probably helps.

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

If there's one thing Google is really bad at, then it's search algorithms.

At least for any product that isn't the Google Search.

Hold on! I thought it was a web apponly? That's awesome. I'll download it

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 points 1 year ago

It basically is, this is just a wrapper that lets the web app hook into a few more native things like haptics

Thank you for all of the hard work you have put into this project. This app is amazing. I'm just shocked at how quickly you work.

Is there a way to point the Play Store version of the app to my Voyager container running on my server?

[-] figaro 20 points 1 year ago

Voyager is great but it should be noted that this is just a glorified web app.

[-] Hangglide@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

But the web app spams my browser history with everything I ever touched on Lemmy. I absolutely don't want that. It is nice to have the app separate from my chrome history.

It runs really well for a web app, you can barely even tell.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago

Why should I note that? Will it eat me in my sleep if I didn't know that?

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

It won't be as optimized as a native app, basically.

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 14 points 1 year ago

I agree, but trust me: Voyager is the best webapp I've ever tried. It truly feels like a native app.

I'm really digging this so far. The built-in subreddit import is amazing! I also like how relatively simple the app is in general. Most apps have a ton of options I never use, and this one seems to mostly be including the stuff I do care about.

If you ever end up going the donate route or whatever, I'd pitch in.

[-] Jtee@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Is this any different to the web app?

[-] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 27 points 1 year ago

It respects android back gesture

[-] Jtee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'll try it out! I'm already using Voyager

It took over the top spot with Connect for me. Voyager gives me instant reddit vibes like the Apollo app. Great layout. It's super smooth.

Bold to have two posts with "Fuck Spez" as thumbnails in the second screenshot

I'm not able to install the app, anyone know why this could be happening?

Google Play screenshot showing Voyager and an error: "This item isn't available."

Google Play screenshot showing compatibility, which shows it won't work with Pixel 6a

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

I had users complain to me about the same issue. It's likely as it's rated 18 and you haven't age verified your account.

So far liking it. Completely different ui and feel compared to thunder and connect.
