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 <3Yeah! It respects your privacy and there’s no ads!
I 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.
But how we are supposed to enjoy a Lemmy app without spending $20 on it?
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.
Wait it doesn’t?
It doesn’t fix this unfortunately. This is a Safari/Webkit bug that still isn’t fixed.

It’s still a web app really.
Congrats! I’ve been using the PWA for a few weeks and I’ve been convinced to do it for my next project.
How can I get the old icon back? I’m not a fan of the new one.
In the future there will be an app icon switcher :)
App icon switching is planned for a future update. Maybe the original will be included, but I can’t say.

No list right now but I will be adding one to the readme!
Yeah, I’ll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
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.

Great news!
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.
Whoa. This looks very promising! THANK YOU.
Fabulous
Congratulations!
Awesome news! Congratulations aeharding and team! 🎉🥳
Downloaded and reviewed. :)
Awesome! Been waiting for this to switch from Memmy, as I loved the PWA except for the limitations. Thanks for your hard work!
