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 :)

“The developer does not collect any data from this app.”
love it <3I am so in love with this. What an amazing gift this app is in a world of corporations and data harvesting. If ever there’s a project that deserves our huge support, it’s this one.
Best lemmy app, period. So sleek, so smooth.
Yeah! It respects your privacy and there’s no ads!
Very suspect!
“If I’m not the product, then WHO AM I??”
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.
Any options would great! Some of my favorites weren’t included in the poll
Been waiting for this app to be released on iOS and it DOES NOT disappoint! Hands down the best way to view Lemmy.
If it’s already this good on its first release I can’t wait to see what the future updates will bring!
As a former Apollo user, this app also brings me back to the good times of using it before it was shutdown.
Fantastic work devs!
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.
I was hoping the “scroll freeze after swipe back” bug would’ve been fixed by this…
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.
The safari bug is actually resolved in the native app for iOS. It only ignores gestures if you swipe quickly while the view is still transitioning, but it no longer latches which is the safari bug.
The problem is that Ionic view transitions are too slow on swipe back (vs native views) this is an Ionic bug though that can be resolved in a future version of Ionic. Basically the view transitions too slowly and you try to swipe right at the tail end of the animation and this initial gesture is ignored.
But it should no longer “freeze” until you stop all gestures, this is resolved in the native app.
Oh nice.
It’s still driving me crazy though. I’ll wait patiently for that to get fixed…
It is definitely better.
It’s still a web app really.

Woah boi do I feel at home ! It looks so much like Apollo, I love it ! It’s so nice, everything is where it should be. I’m loving it so far, thank you so much
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.
Yeah, I’ll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
Awesome work :)
Commenting directly from the new app!!
Thank you! It looks and works wonderfully!
Is it just me or is the animation when collapsing comments is very choppy?
Not just you. Also very choppy for me, both on the PWA and on the app from F-Droid.
Not exactly glad to hear it, but relieved that it isn’t a device issue. All the people talking about how fluid it is…what? It’s a good app but it’s not fluid at ALL, heck even Jerboa is like 10x more fluid for me.
Already downloaded! Didn’t realize how much I missed the haptics
Awesome! Been waiting for this to switch from Memmy, as I loved the PWA except for the limitations. Thanks for your hard work!
Any chance you’ll include the option to select which browser to use as the default rendered? Sync let’s me choose that currently, and it’s one of my main reasons for using that over Voyager, because I much prefer the Voyager UI (and ad-free experience).
You mean choose a default browser for external links? If so, yes, here: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/553
Thanks for responding to me, yes that is exactly what I’m looking for. It’s this supported on Android too?
Android too!
Hmmm, the link on that GitHub issue seems to be going nowhere (at least, it doesn’t load for me). Any instructions on how I can set the default browser behaviour?
It’s not implemented yet.
Ah okay, that makes sense. I’ll keep checking in on the project then until that’s ready. I don’t want to use my system’s default browser due to corporate filtering, so whenever this feature is implemented I’m ditching Sync :-)
