Hi there!

Voyager has been released to Google Play! You can check it out here:

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Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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

Seems like Capacitor has some performance issues with Webview (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1289741). Things got a tiny bit better for me after I updated WebView to the Canary build. Both webviews have still better performance than the PWA with Firefox, but they are slightly less smooth than the PWA with Chrome.
