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Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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

Just grabbed it and it's working great so far. I'm not really clear on the pros/cons of using a native app vs a web app, but so far the experience is pretty much identical.

Edit: I'll also add that if there's ever a "premium" version that's just the same app only paid so people can support it with their dollars, I will be happy to use my Google Play points on that.

For me, it's that the app was sluggish on Firefox but not on chrome. But it turns out, with unlock, the internet is a terrible place! So links were unreadable

The dedicated app is the best of both worlds. Fast and responsive, but can use my default browser (Firefox) for links
