The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I'm just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It's a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

Just saved this to my home screen, am I right in saying that it's just a webapp and not a full blown app? Seems to work fine so far!

It’s what’s known as a “progressive web app.” A weird in-between of a native app and a web app

Seems to work well so far, not sure I like clicking on a comment collapses it, would like the upvote/downvote/reply options underneath the comment but it's early days and nothing that won't be ironed out over time

It's a copy of the Apollo iOS app interface. If you swipe the comment right depending on how far you swipe it it'll up or down vote.

It's a progressive web app, which means when installed it has some extra powers that other web apps don't (like more access to device APIs, offline support, etc.) It was actually what all iPhone apps were meant to be before Apple gave up and made the app store.

Sadly iOS's PWA support has fallen a bit by the wayside compared to PWAs in Android but it's picking up.

Yep looks like a web app, a well built one. Performs great, even on my android phone lol

[–] Aethon 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does seem good so far, sometimes I'm not easily finding the right button to reply etc, and I think the text box for typing couple be easier highlighted but definitely usable and making the transition over from Reddit easier

Yeah at the moment most, if not all the apps for lemmy have a lot of room for improvement. But development takes time so it hopefully will only get better! Just gotta find the app that you can tolerate the most really

Not sure about the iOS side, but there's couple of android apps being remade for Lemmy/kbin. A familiar app will go along way to getting used to Lemmy

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, waiting on sync for lemmy personally.

I am currently using lift off which isn't perfect but gets the job done

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, but honestly it feels like a native app
