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.
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)
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.

I’d like to see haptics implemented when hitting the voting buttons too, not just on swipe
This is awesome. Everything’s great except anytime I try to save an image to my photos it crashes
Same issue here
I can 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!
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…
Yup happening on my phone as well. IPhone 13 mini running iOS 16.6.
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!

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.
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.
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.
Wait so this is now an actual app? Genuine question!
If so that’s cool!
Wow, this is awesome! Thank you!
I'm keeping an icon for the PWA Just In Case though
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.

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.
Holy shit, it's real!
I wish we could give awards on Lemmy.
The app seems to work great ! Thank you !
Great work! I love having Voyager as a separate app on macOS.
By the way if you don’t mind. What programming language are you using? Is it swift UI?
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?
You can disable 60 fps lock in safari with develop menu.
As for that being a default, Safari needs to fix this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173434

Yay! Thanks for this! I’m loving it and feels like I never left Apollo more than the pwa did if that makes sense.
Swiping back instead of accidentally upvoting is much better here than the web app.
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!
Now that’s what I’m talking about. Great work!
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.
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.
I noticed there's no version number in settings compared to the PWA.
Here we go!
