Hi there!

Voyager has been released to Google Play! You can check it out here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.vger.voyager

Please try it out and let me know what you think below! Because it's brand new, let me know if you have any problems relative to the web app and I'll try to fix them ASAP. And if you have time, leave a review, that helps Voyager gain exposure.

Why use the native Android version? Well, there's a couple main benefits:

  • The back button works much better!
  • Your browser history shouldn't be inundated with Voyager entries.

Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager. Hopefully it should update soon!


As for Apple peeps, that's still in progress. If you're on TestFlight and have an Apple Watch, check out the brand new Apple Watch app (coming very shortly in an update). It's quite simple at the moment, but kind of neat and useful!

Damn voyager, sync, infinity all within like 24 hours of each other!

Never heard of voyager previously but I'll give it a shot! Liking infinity a lot too. Both your apps should copy connects feature of blocking users and instances right from the post. It's super handy, especially when you realize someone is spamming, just give them the ol block and forget about it.

Voyager web app is quite impressive tbh. One of the best web apps I have ever used.

That being said, the infinity app feels like home, I have been using to for over 3 years after all.

I'm just counting the days until Boost for Lemmy releases but I feel you. The UI of infinity is very nice, and the feature customization is solid. I've been comparing all new apps to connect since I found it, and it's still the one I keep coming back to. It has less polish but it checks all the feature boxes for me! Infinity is the only other app I've added to my home screen though, I could see it worming it's way in.

Same here! I tried Infinity and Sync, but it just didn't feel right. I'm mainly on Voyager for now, but I've been trying out all of the apps.

Great to see.

Since sync dev ramped up his price I'm exploring apps.

“There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” I love this new format, find what works for you. Happy to see all these developers working on things it’s given me hope in the internet again… as dumb as that sounds

Voyager is my favorite so far as an ex Apollo user it just feels like an old home. But I love hearing the sync fans enjoying their preferences back. Let’s embrace this everyone!

I think sync does that already? If you hit the overflow menu in a post there's a filter button, which let's you hide either the user, the community, or the whole instance.

I meant specifically voyager and infinity, I'm way too turned off by Syncs tracking and ad filled cash grab antica. Hard pass.
