Cool! Installed it to replace the PWA. Nice work!

Howdy! I’m still new to Lemmy. Why does your username appear red to me in the Voyager app?
Are you super special? Are you dev royalty??
Ohhh am I red in the app? Hadn't noticed :-) I'll go see a doctor. Doesn't sound good.

Lemmy.world founder and overall cool dude 😎
What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:
- haptics are nice
- status bar tap is very welcome
- the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
- browser appear animation is really nice
- the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
- nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)
I do find it interesting that the back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t entirely fixed. It doesn’t stay frozen like the PWA if you keep swiping but it still latches for a sec before you can keep swiping.
Came to comment this. The back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t fixed at all to me. I can replicate the bug every time. The only two reasons for me to use this over the PWA for now are haptics and scroll to top. Hopefully this opens the door to push notifications in the future.

I’d like to see haptics implemented when hitting the voting buttons too, not just on swipe
I can't believe how quickly you work. You're a legend. I can't wait for the Android app.
Jealous of iOS users! Looking forward to Android release!
to those curious, the download is only 14 megabytes and its silky smooth and appears much faster to me. it didn't remember my settings from the wefwef pwa. submitting posts and comments and votes so far all work perfectly for me.
this thing is a release candidate in my eyes.
Here we go!
Works great so far!
so awesome, since memmy became very unstable.
Just found one curiosity, if you post something new it would be great if it opens the keyboard directly. At the moment you still have to do an additional tap to on the comment area to bring up the keyboard!
Otherwise amazing work!

Got it and am posting this from the app. Well done!
This is awesome. Everything’s great except anytime I try to save an image to my photos it crashes

Bug:
Tapped on the OP in the thread below to collapse it, and end up getting the whole app shifted up/offscreen, and the comments cut off below.
I had this happen too. The time on my phone was overlappping with the post…

This probably is a nich feature, but is it possible to get deeplinks (example voyager://inbox or voyager://vger.app/inbox/unread)?
We can definitely do deep linking with a special URL, however I want to avoid links to vger.app opening the app. One of my pet peeves are apps open that when I'm just trying to browse their site.
Holy shit, it's real!
I wish we could give awards on Lemmy.
Wait so this is now an actual app? Genuine question!
If so that’s cool!
Swiping back instead of accidentally upvoting is much better here than the web app.
Wohoo!
That was quick! Testing using iOS 17.
There seems to be a delay on the keyboard which is not present in the PWA however this might be because of the beta version I’m using.
I also find the font sizes of the header quite large. Perhaps there could be an option to resize?
Edit: the reply bug where when you reply to a comment, the comment thread shows in the reply area is still present.

Question and I'm sorry I missed it if it has come up before. Once the native app is released, do you plan to continue development of the PWA? I love the PWA and love that it can be self-hosted.
1000% yes, it's using the same code!
Wow, this is awesome! Thank you!
I'm keeping an icon for the PWA Just In Case though
I noticed there's no version number in settings compared to the PWA.
Where do we submit feedback? The TestFlight email link is not working for me. Basically my bug report: if you auto fill passwords, validation error reports pwd is empty , unless you manually auto fill both fields separately which beats the purpose of auto fill. Probably unnecessarily early front end validation.
Here is fine, otherwise I think you can through Test Flight app.
What password manager? It's working for me in Bitwarden.

The app seems to work great ! Thank you !
Awesome! But can you please have an .ipa available for download on GitHub, so we don't need to depend on Apple for updates.
Maybe in the future, builds are through App Flow which doesn't have a way to make builds public, and I don't want to manually upload an ipa every release.
I notice when I click on a YouTube link in the PWA it opens up in the same window and takes me to the link, but when I click on the same link in the TestFlight app it opens in a separate window. Is that intended?
Not intended, just the way native apps work. At some point I will need to add code to explicitly open certain things in their app.
would be great to make it a settings page for which media type/app to choose how to open them.

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Great work!
Hope you can later share Android APK and have auto-update feature without relying on Playstore.
Have you heard from you early adopters in the delta quadrant?
I’ve been using the PWA version of Voyager for the last month, and today I’ve experimented with the new Test Flight app.
I have just two words of feedback:
Nailed it.
