I'm starting to suspect they're a rogue ai.
iOS UI/UX on Android doesn't make any sense
Settings / Appearance / Themes / Device mode / Android (beta)
Looks pretty beta though...
Well... It's is beta...
Someone finally said it. Can't stand it, sorry.
It has Android mode also.
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.
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 π₯π₯π₯.
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.

Is it weird that I like the iOS mode look rather then the Android one on my Android phone?
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
Yeah says beta right
Oddly enough, I'm also quite liking the iOS mode...π€¦π»ββοΈπ€·π»ββοΈ

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.
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.
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
Itβs basically the web app but with haptics and better back gesture support
The back gesture is actually stopping me from using it. It registers both in-app back gesture and the operating system gesture at the same time. It skips the main feed with the two backs, goes all the way back to the communities screen and forgets where it was on the feed.

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?
Voyager is great but it should be noted that this is just a glorified web app.
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.
Why should I note that? Will it eat me in my sleep if I didn't know that?
It won't be as optimized as a native app, basically.
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.
Is this any different to the web app?
It respects android back gesture
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.

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