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Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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!

That's quite interesting. I was very impressed with Voyager being a PWA and a bit sad that a native version was needed.

Isn't the overhead of maintaining three completely different code bases very demanding?

Or, as the benefits it seems to have are quite limited, was it a quick conversion into a native app?

I think there are certain frameworks out there that basically let you write a website and it bundles it as an app for you. Also this could just be a web view locked into their site. Either way I don't think there's a ton of overhead here.
