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! 💙
“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.
But how we are supposed to enjoy a Lemmy app without spending $20 on it?
Yeah! It respects your privacy and there’s no ads!
Very suspect!
“If I’m not the product, then WHO AM I??”
Yeah, I’ll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
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.
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!
Looks good to me. What I still miss from Apollo is a swipe right to get „back“ to a post I just swiped left from. Something like the browser forward button.
I’ve been using the Android version, and it’s awesome, y’all IOS buddies are in for a treat.
Awesome! Been waiting for this to switch from Memmy, as I loved the PWA except for the limitations. Thanks for your hard work!
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.
Already downloaded! Didn’t realize how much I missed the haptics
Thank you for all your work into this app! Currently replying from the iOS app 😁
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
Awesome work :)
Commenting directly from the new app!!
Thank you! It looks and works wonderfully!
This is odd. I can upvote, scroll, sort, login … all of it with Memmy. None of that works the first time with Voyager. I keep getting errors saying it can’t login, can’t vote and so on. I have to try it twice for it to work.
That’s very strange, I haven’t heard any reports similar to that. I’ll keep an eye out though. Sorry for the problems.
I was finally able to sign in with Lemmy.world account. Will look forward to progress with app and will happily donate once moderator tools are added. Hopefully community banner display can also be incorporated into the app. 🙏🏻 Kudos for work so far!
I’m having the same issue. Commenting here while using Memmy. I can login with lemm.ee account but not Lemmy.world account.
Commenting from lemm.ee account from Memmy. Still getting errors when I try to sign into Voyager with Lemmy.world account.
Thanks for your efforts with this app! It’s down to this, Memmy or MLem for me probably. For what it is worth, I like how Mlem allows for community banners to be displayed in an about or sidebar section. Liftoff! Has similar integration. Voyager is quite polished but hoping it can add some of the above. Will continue to compare to the aforementioned other apps. Cheers!
it’s possible that it’s because at the time you were trying to do that the instance was down
Would it be possible to change accounts while staying on a post? In case I browse with one account and want to comment from a different one? Or some setting to autoswitch accounts when I open a post from a different instance which I also have an account on?
Is that so you can have conversations with yourself?
😁 Rather because it’s sometimes more useful to comment with a „local“ account instead of the standard one I browse with. It’s a little complicated with the whole federated approach.
