It's appreciated testing various versions of iOS, and ensure all functionality matches the Progressive Web App.

Comment below with any issues that don't exist in the Progressive Web App and aren't listed below.

Known issues:

  • Post photo upload doesn't work
  • Haptics needed in many places
  • Saving a photo crashes

Thanks!

Is it me? Or does “mark read on scroll” seems to be broken? Worked fine in the wpa — for me the most awesome feature voyager has

Tested again: fine in wpa, broken in app

Filters are missing as well? Probably related

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Amazing! So happy to use this.

One issue I’ve noticed: seems like there is a very short tap delay, most noticeable on the tap bar.

Just installed to test it, thanks! One thing I immediately noticed is that in compact mode, I keep on accidentally downvoting posts when trying to open them. We can already upvote/downvote using arrows on the right side so I think it would be better to just open the post when tapping anywhere on the post title. Great work and I’m loving how snappy it is, and I’m also using the memmy and mlem betas.

i just installed it and it’s performing about as well as you would expect on an ipad air 2, but it’s definitely more smooth than the pwa. swipe gestures especially feel more responsive and smooth for some reason. i’ll replace the pwa on my home screen for now and report any issues i find. (if i find any at all, it seems to be working very well.)

By the way if you don’t mind. What programming language are you using? Is it swift UI?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great work! Would it be possible to have the app or even the PWA support 120fps gestures such as on the back swipe gesture on devices with ProMotion?

Yay! Thanks for this! I’m loving it and feels like I never left Apollo more than the pwa did if that makes sense.

Hey @aeharding

I found a bug but neither a screenshot nor a video would show it. Let me explain:

I opened a post in this community (title: Can’t save images by long pressing) that was short and had very few comments, making the entire content fit exactly inside the screen, almost exactly. On a regular/longer post, I can pull to refresh, but in this case it seems like scrolling is completely disabled. No matter how much I try to swipe up or down, the whole thing is static. it works in the PWA, though.

I also think it’s lacking a bit of padding between the last comment and the tabs at the bottom, but that’s also happening in the PWA, so I guess it’s not app related.

Great work overall! Hope this helps

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! This is interesting. I have seen that before I think but I thought it was resolved. Cheers

But what about my wefwef web app?

Can I still keep it because I think it might be worth something as a vintage web app to show off in 5+ years time.

Great work! I love having Voyager as a separate app on macOS.

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

Just found a bug, not sure if it’s already been reported: if the comment thread is longer than I think like 4 posts, when I click “x more comments” it doesn’t actually open the rest of the thread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does the native app proxy through your server like the PWA, or does it connect directly with the instance? Thanks for all your work on this!

If I want to save a photo the app crashes.

Edit: safe from the app to my iPhone.

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

Thanks, feels very smooth!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you for the status bar tap feature!

One thing I noticed is that the "Back" button does not always work on the posts tab, it just alternates between "Home", "All" and "Local" instead of actually taking me to the page where all my subscriptions are listed.

Edit: Actually I meant the "Communities" button, and the bug only happens when I’ve previously used the drop-down list to switch between either of "Home", "All" or "Local".

Oooh joined! Big fan of Voyager, the app is working well so far! Just a question, when will push nofications be implemented?

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

I’m excited to try it out! Now I just have to find a good place for it on my Home Screen.
