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Please note, it’s currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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!

    Quite good. If you allow criticism, one particular feature that needs improvment is the smoothness of image loading. Images (in particular) and posts took quite awhile to load. Even for some images, when they have already been loaded and displayed, if I go back and then forward, the app will try to reload the images that have already been displayed before. By right, the images should’ve already been cached and will load straight away.

    This is what I find strangely interesting with Sync, which you can take as a benchmark. The image load very fast, even at the first loading. None of the apps that I tried, e. g. liffoff and infinity can even load (half?) that fast. If you can find a good algorithm to load the images, it will help increase user experience tremendously.
