Praise for Voyager

For all the amazing work and effort that is being poured into the fediverse in the past several weeks, and in particular what we users can see with the Voyager app - this deserves to be said with great gratitude!

❤️ Voyager is such a polished app ❤️

Just small details like how the app takes you one step back for each time you press the "Posts" button, from comment to post, from post to feed, to top of feed, and finally, to communities.

Much elegant, very wow 🐶

Voyager seriously seems to be the most polished app right now.

- Yeah it really is. Zero issues atm. Other apps have one or two great features that makes you peak their way but lack the overall polish.

  Any features you'd like Voyager to have?

It is the best, most-seamless PWA I’ve ever used. Wow.

I think I can say that if the Voyager app didn't exist, I probably would have given up on Lemmy in the early days. Lemmy really started to work for me when I installed Voyager.

- I get what you mean but we're still very much in the early days of Lemmy and the Fediverse right now lol

Voyager is quickly ceasing to be my Methadone for my lost Apollo/Reddit; it is becoming my heroine all over.

MOAR!

THANK YOU(!) to my wonderful dealers who cook my fix and slowly improve it each and every day!

Love to all of them!

It truly is a very well-polished app. I'm currently hoping between apps rapidly as I try out their different features, but in terms of UI/UX Voyager is definitely one of my favorites.

It's really great. Thanks for the hard work!

I have tried them all, Thunder, Connect, Jerboa, Liftoff, Summit and while they are all at the good stage, Voyager just wins form me with the UI design. It's so clean and tight. In addition it's a web app which is awesome. Well done!

Thank you!! 💙

this is the first I'm hearing about voyager, where can I get it? the only app that comes up on the app store is for some crypto thing

- The app is only on TestFlight I believe! There’s a post about it here https://lemmy.world/post/2250485

- Join the TestFlight or go to https://getvoyager.app and follow the directions.

- It’s a web app, not an Apple Store app, but you can make it “like an app”
  
  The URL below explains it better than my poor mincing of descriptive words!

- Voyager is both a PWA and also currently available as a test flight app.
  
  It won’t be in the App Store until testing is done but my guess is it will be soon. The current TestFlight version is being considered a release candidate by the developer.
  
  Others have left links for both so give either a try and enjoy!

- Seems to be a web page only: https://vger.app/posts/lemmy.world/local#galleryopen

Is this for lemmy ?

The new update seems to have totally shut me out, I get - ‘failed to load user profile’ and nothing on my feeds. Anyone else having issues?

- Did you attempt to log out and log in again? Maybe clear cache ich you are on Android?

  Thanks, I’m back in now!

Well I used it to see that many posts from Lemmy.world doesn't even federate.

Compare this (pick top 6 hours)

https://vger.app/posts/lemmy.world/local#galleryopen

With what you see on other instances.

Maybe a bug or maybe caused by stability problems.

Thanks, I tried a few things and I’m back in. It was surprisingly disconcerting! Voyager has definitely plugged an Apollo shaped hole for me.
