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Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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

Weird, thanks for the report, I'll look into it :)

edit: If anyone else has this problem, please reply below with device version and make/model

Its happening to me with a few other lemmy apps from the store like Lemmotif, Summit and Beyond for Lemmy. All are early access too which might be the reason, although other EA apps like Arctius (fennec) installed fine. Just to note, i did install the apks of the above incompatible apps via their github pages fine. So its not that my device is incompatible, its just google store blocking something internally perhaps.

Check out Obtanium for updates to apps from github

I use that for all my git apps, very useful app. But i prefer google store, so once an app is available i'll remove it from Obtanium.

Are you getting it from the Play Store on your phone or computer?

The reason I ask is sometimes the PC version adds something like en-US to the end of the links for me, so it won't let me download because it thinks I'm in the wrong country. Deleting that part makes it work again.

Getting it on my phone, I checked the links and there's no en-US in them apart from Beyond & Jerboa, so not sure why. I tried by removing that part in the link and they still show as incompatible (not jerboa) that works fine.

No idea then sorry.
