It’s my daily driver, I like it quite a bit. It’s a progressive web app, just try it out.
Same here. It's a decent app, and it works well. I'm pretty sure I got it from the Play Store, and I think it's on the App Store too 👍
I use it every day. I find it very good. Scrolling is smooth. Lots of customization options. It remembers where you were in your scroll when you do other things. Things get marked as read correctly.
There's room for improvement, and development on it has slowed quite a bit in the past month. But overall I find it very good.
Scrolling is smooth.
In which aspects you get smooth scrolling? I sometimes scroll in the main feed and it refreshes it completely, I'm using the native app.

All of it? It doesn't stutter while scrolling. It just scrolls. Every other app, especially Jerboa stutters bad for me, and will randomly change where I am scrolled. The reddit app is the worst in this regard, but that's a different site, obviously.

I have never once seen that in Voyager, but I see it other apps.
I did have an issue a while back where if a post was half on the screen and half not, when I would tap it, it would change my scroll position. But since I switched to compact view, that doesn't happen anymore.
I'm using the native app.
Same
Yeah, this is my biggest beef with the app too
It's alright. Looks and feels like an IOS app, though.
It’s essentially the lemmy version of Apollo for Reddit, which was an iOS only app (different devs though)
I think it has an Android theme. Does that improve things?
That does indeed help a bit but it still feels very IOS to have menus slide in from the bottom, a back button in the top left and no side swipe menu. But I still enjoy it as my daily driver on Android
I've used a ton of them and Voyager is my favourite (Eternity second fav).
I liked it enough to donate to the dev
I've switched back and forth and stayed with Voyager for a long time now. I actually just wanted to wait until Boost was finished, but now I can see myself sticking with Voyager.
A big advantage is that I can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately.
My only issue with Voyager is how many things are interacted with my swiping. I accidentally up/downvote posts all the time. I also have a problem where I accidentally go back by swiping from the left frequently, causing me to lose my place in the feed or having to reopen the post I was scrolling through.
I don't need to swipe for any of these functions when I have a back button and could just press a button on screen.
i think you can modify the swipe actions in the settings. and also set them to nothing.
Yep, Settings > Gestures they can all be customized or disabled completely
Oh this is really helpful! It doesn't solve the accidental closing of the feed, but not accidentally interacting is great.
It's a really nice feature, great customization. It would be better if there was some kind of popup that said something like 'would you like to change this?' But it's a work in progress and I really appreciate what the developer has done.
Same. I keep accidentally downvoting posts when browsing. For now I’m a fan of Thunder. Unique interface among a sea of Apollo lookalikes.
I'm using it almost daily, untill I finish my app
Tag me when you're app is released
Sure!
Using it now, works well enough.
Might switch if I need to switch to an app that supports multiple accounts (I don't think this does?)
Is the fdroid version different from the one on the play store? If not, you can use multiple accounts. You tap the icon in the middle (should have your instance name) and press accounts in the too left.
Ooh, you are correct
It's alright. Though I sometimes find the interface too busy. I don't know if this makes me a weirdo but I really like the simple interface of Jerboa.
At the moment I use Summit because it has mod actions implemented. The dev was also kind enough to implement a few unique mod-related features that I requested, so I feel some allegiance to that app now. I'll take a look at Voyager again once I can moderate my communities through the app.
Jerboa has a pleasant and clear interface. The only disadvantage is insufficiently smooth scrolling of the news feed.
I wonder why the developer Summit didn't make the project open source?
Thunder is also available via the IzzyOnDroid repo for F-Droid.
Not a fan. Too simplistic, lacks features and looks and behaves like an iOS app.
What features is it missing that other apps have?
Filters, hide posts, drafts, more customization options...
As far as I know Voyager can do both of those first 2 things.
It kinda has drafts, idk what customization things it's missing tho
It can only hide read posts and if it has filters then I'm not finding it. Compared to Sync it's missing a lot of customization options, I'm too lazy to list it all.
Drafts is a feature request can get behind.
Anyway, still somewhat hoping for a Lemmy version of Slide.
I like it but it has a couple tiny issues:
Font title is the same weight as the rest of the post, making it hard to make things out from afar.
Scrolling for me often results in "reaching the end" when there's more posts below, causing me to have to refresh often. (At least, this is the case on iOS and not on my desktop.)
It was my daily driver on iOS, because it felt very native, despite being a web app. Now that I'm on Android, I've been enjoying Summit for Lemmy.
I feel like it has one of the more polished feed layouts and spacing, and does a good job of using Material You styling. I added the GitHub to Obtanium to keep it updated.
Why is scrolling so weird?
It's not consistent. No other program scrolls this way. Everything else is a constant rate, but if there is a thread with a large picture, it scrolls too fast and then it stops too far down the page forcing you to scroll up.
And why not resize the pic so it fits the page better?
Also, I'm not sure if there's already a setting, but I hate how the title and the description for threads are not together.
Lastly,why are unread comments a dark, dark, dark Grey color, but the regular background is black? The colors are so close that you can't tell the difference between the two.
