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! 💙

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...

Wait it doesn’t?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It doesn't fix this unfortunately. This is a Safari/Webkit bug that still isn't fixed.

It is definitely better.

It's still a web app really.
