WebApps are just...so laggy, Voyager is prob the least laggy React app I've ever seen...but there're still noticeable points where it is

Native UIs, while not entirely immune to lag, is tons better and generally use far less resources to achieve it

For a technical difference:

Voyager/Blorp use React which is basically JavaScript and typically requires the app to ship with everything needed to run JavaScript. Each app runs a "mini-browser". Though it has its pros because you only need to develop one app for all platforms.

Native UIs use the UI elements provided by the OS and each platform you release the app on must be developed separately, but it can also be optimized with less effort and less resources.

I don't even know where to start with this. It's only available from the Play Store, meaning you have to have a device with a Google account logged in system-wide.

Further, if you want to give money to the devs, the other options also make that available without a 30% tax applied to support one of the largest monopolistic corporations on Earth.

He has an alternative donation platform. If you contact him, he might be open to giving you an APK if you donate through that. Orr you could just donate through that and install an "acquired" APK. Orr just donate through that, block ads system wide and have it installed through a proxied store (e.g. Aurora Store). For the longest time I didn't even realize boost had ads because of my ad blocking LMAO

And they're also just better...

Boost is a native UI, both Voyager and Blorp (While visually appealing) are just web wrappers and I absolutely despise web wrapper "apps". Boost also beats Voyager in customization (won't comment on Blorp, never tried Blorp)

Booo, Boost is great and absolutely worth the couple bucks, that goes to a solo dev.

The final boss:

Yea, it's been working great!

Yea, but it just doesn't have the same impact as getting a statement issued with the funny numbers lol

😏😏

Lol tbh I was convinced a while ago but no way could I abandon my beloved Boost! I was quite surprised it came so quickly though LMAO

Ah yes, a fresh new territory to conquer mu ha ha ha

My rates aren't actually too bad, my usage was just really high at ~1300 kWh lmao

Ok yea I'm sometimes guilty of this, but in a more joking kinda way usually

Except when you're posting someone else's content that the creator clearly intended to have a cussword, e.g. a comic, and either you or where you got it from censored it for "the algorithm". That shit is annoying AF
