I use Voyager on Android.
I know that this is stupid and petty, but I dislike Voyager, because it's essentially a web app. I prefer native or near-native apps (things like Flutter or React Native). I tried it out and it's pretty nice UI/UX-wise, but I still prefer Arctic on iOS, because it's an actual native app written in SwiftUI, and thus closer to Apollo for Reddit (which Voyager tries to imitate).
I am not an iOS user in any way. Does Voyager actually look/feel different than a native Swift app in any way? Or does it just bother you to know, in the back of your mind, that it is not native?
That's why I said that this is stupid and petty, but the thought alone makes my blood boil. And it's not the same as with normal Electron apps on desktop, I also hate those, but for different reasons. Voyager looks just like a native iOS app, which makes this even worse for me, as I'm allergic to this kind of HTML/CSS/JS imitation of native UI libraries. Something about it just feels so wrong to me as a developer, I don't know.
But I recommend you don't actually listen to me, just use whatever you like.
