Plenty of things. But it's not hard to look better than iOS. You just have to not look like Fisher Price had a baby with Mattel and you are automatically better than an iOS app.

it still retains iOS iconography, including the share button.

I did not. I didn't have an iPhone to be able to get onto the settings with.

It feels dirty but it does look nice

Interesting. I didn't know it was possible to have a PWA in the app store. How does that work?

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

you wrap the web app in a shell of a native app with a web browser. it can pass through local hardware like microphone camera usb bluetooth etc. phonegap was a popular tool for this what 10+ years ago.

I guess these days it’s mostly Ionic or Quasar…?

[–] Cubes@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I believe the dev said they used ionic in this instance

[–] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Oh right! I totally forgot about that.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

The back button works much better!

Back button works fine on the PWA...

I'm currently testing it, as I'm looking for an Android application for Lemmy, and it looks promising! Thanks

Just tried it and it is fast. The auto collapse comment thread is winning me over

[–] Koen967@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

I was using the PWA. I'll try and switch to the app and see how I like it.

[–] Bebo@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Yay

Any idea on how to find it in the aurora App Store?

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Go to Aurora app settings and into "Open by Default" . Turn them all on. Any links to the Play Store should then open in Aurora Store instead.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That worked thank you!

[–] Defaced@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Any way to use a compact cards view in the full app? The PWA has this option but I don't see it in the dedicated app.

[–] freamon@endlesstalk.org 2 points 2 years ago

I couldn't find it on my phone's playstore, so had to install it via that web link, but everything looks good so far.

[–] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not bad. The color options are a bit intense, but a good start, keep it up!
