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! 💙

How much extra programming overhead does adding code to use these native APIs add to you¿?

Not too much thanks to https://capacitorjs.com

What are these benefits?

Posted from the native app :)

No benefits. I was asking the main dev how much extra work he has to do to maintain the native versions
