I'm using it right now and, after trying 4 different apps, it's my favorite Lemmy app so far

I bounce between Memmy (also Apollo-esque) and Voyager. I think Voyager is better, but there is something about a native app experience that isn’t 100% mimicked by a PWA. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. Don’t get me wrong, for me Voyager’s PWA is 99.9% there, but I can “feel” the difference.
Having said that, as an engineer, I appreciate and respect the PWA’s portability trade off. I can have the same Lemmy browsing experience on any computing device using Voyager. And it’s a really good experience. I don’t miss Apollo or Reddit anymore!
Well the good news is that Voyager will be hitting the App Store soon as a native app!
I can’t wait to see it!
Source on that? I'd love to follow that!
It's out on Testflight which is where beta software is released on iOS. The App Store version and the Android PlayStore version will be out soon (already submitted). Source:
I hope this works. I gave up on wefwef. It worked right for a few days. Then never again.
Sent screen shots and got a response from Alex, the dev I believe. Tried to reply through email. Email comes back undeliverable. Send it again through the “app”. No response. Gave up and deleted it.
I'm right now using it, and never found any major issue that would stop me from continuing with it.
Can you tell what was the exact issue and what you're using now?
Yeah it still has its bugs but nothing preventing me from using it.
That’s good to hear! I’m not averse to using it again. It was weeks ago this happened.
I was only able to see posts in All. Nothing local. Couldn’t upvote, downvote, post, reply, DM.
All I could do was view posts but not the ones I subscribed to. It was odd.
I use Memmy now. It did some of the same things at the same time so I thought maybe with was my instance- but Memmy began working again with another update right away. WefWef never did.
I’m an Apollo survivor so I appreciated both.
I’ll check out Voyager now.
Thanks!
Glad they changed their name
