Test Flight is here!
https://testflight.apple.com/join/nWLw1MBM
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!
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.
If you wanted it to open up in the same window like it does in the PWA would you have to code in a browser to the native app? Is that something you’d be interested in adding in the future?
would be great to make it a settings page for which media type/app to choose how to open them.

Here we go!
Got it and am posting this from the app. Well done!
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.
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.
Push is already possible for Android PWAs and with iOS 17 also for iOS. Regarding the scroll freeze, does it still stay frozen for you as long as you’re trying to scroll after the back swipe?
It does stay frozen until you lift the finger for a second or so. I see no difference whatsoever.
Hm, okay. For me that part is definitely fixed
I just noticed I’m an iOS version behind, so that may be it. I believe it was released this week. I’m on 16.5.1 instead of 16.6. Will edit this comment after updating to see if that does it.
Edit: Nothing changed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that doesn’t fix it, but sure, worth a shot :)
Yes, that’s the same thing I was experiencing
I’d like to see haptics implemented when hitting the voting buttons too, not just on swipe
I noticed there’s no version number in settings compared to the PWA.
Swiping back instead of accidentally upvoting is much better here than the web app.
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??
He’s like the Prime minister of lemmy.world
Lemmy.world founder and overall cool dude 😎
He’s the admin of lemmy.world.
Yeah. I think admins of your instance turn up red (he’s not red for me)
Ohhh am I red in the app? Hadn’t noticed :-) I’ll go see a doctor. Doesn’t sound good.
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 don’t know why, but scrollIntoView seems more buggy here than in the PWA.
I had this happen too. The time on my phone was overlappping with the post…
Yup happening on my phone as well. IPhone 13 mini running iOS 16.6.
I’m excited to try it out! Now I just have to find a good place for it on my Home Screen.
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.
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.

Great catch!
Woot.
