Android and iOS versions? (self.voyagerapp)

Can someone point out what the major differences are (or does this exist somewhere already)?

I've been on Android for years now and don't really understand what made Voyager too iOS. The only real differences I see are fonts and they currently look better/cleaner on the iOS version.

Are there functional differences between the two? Or is it really just font and spacing?

iOS uses a swipe back gesture for everything

Android expects a back button/system back gesture

Which is why I can't really use the Android mode... my iPhone has no back button. I have to hit the back arrow at the top left for everything

Where is there a difference in the UI though? As both seem to have a back arrow/button to navigate back. I may need to keep playing around with it, as I'm still not seeing much of a difference in the app. But it's still in beta so maybe that's why.

On the Android setting you cannot swipe to go back, which is what iPhone users expect.

The font is different. Popup menus are full width. Comment response takes up the full screen.
