Hello,
I've been using Voyager (iOS) for a while and it seems to be the only app still moving forward. The only feature I miss from other similar apps is being able to go back/forward by swiping on the bottom bar. Is this something we could get on Voyager too?
I searched and found a post on the issue from months ago, but it seems to not have gotten attention from the devs.
It's really annoying to open an image, try to share it somewhere else, see the share sheet showing the image's information.. Just to have the link to it shared instead of the actual image.
Can there be a setting to choose which behavior you want to have for this, please? I imagine thare are people who'd rather share the links, but I think it's a good compromise to have a setting for it.
Hello,
As the TF version specifically asked for feedback on a couple of points that I've noticed differences, here we are.
Performance: it feels less fluid than before on my iPhone 14 Pro. Not game-breaking, but scrolling is slower (it feels like it never uses 120Hz scrolling now), some actions (voting/saving) feel slower or take multiple taps to register/happen (I was wrong about this, the TF version is visibly faster than the App Store one) and I've noticed quite a lot of videos not loading at all (usually NSFW ones). The player becomes irresponsive and in some cases I've had to reload the app to resume using it.
Fonts: I'm not sure if the iPhone 14 Pro is considered small, and I use the font size slider at the 3rd point from the left, but the layout is slightly different. The fonts are larger than before, but if I move the slider one point to the left, they get smaller than before.
And one extra thing I've noticed: there is no way to scroll back to the top of a community or feed without triggering a reload. Is this intended?
Thank you though, this app keeps getting better.
Really liking what I see so far, it has a very Apollo-esque feel. It feels so similar that I keep trying to navigate using bottom bar swipes (my favorite feature from Apollo) 😂
What I have noticed so far in terms of bugs/needs improvement:
There is no setting to turn off the hide bottom bar on scroll. That‘s something I grew to really dislike ever since Apollo. The idea is nice but I just hate how the implementations never seem to work. It gets in the way more often than not, preventing me from using the bottom bar when I need it and not hiding it when I feel it’s safe to do. Therefore I prefer to just have that off.
More often than not most clients seem to fail to actually perform the action I just tried - voting, saving, etc. Lemma doesn‘t give any feedback on whether the action went through, so I spend more time than I think I should waiting for the voting/saving buttons to light up, etc. Often I need to go into the post again for it to update the statuses. I understand that some instances suffer from this more than others, but I think the client app should give you some hint on what just happened. For the record, I’m not sure what magic its devs have been doing, but Memmy seems to be the only one to get this mostly right. I‘d say it fails to perform the actions about 20% of the time or less, while most other clients seem to fail 50%+. Memmy also gives a haptic feedback on the actions, so I can notice whenever something goes wrong easier.
The media player opens videos stopped, so you need to tap again for it to actually play. I understand some people might want this behavior, but I think there should be a toggle for this behavior or for the video to start playing once you tap on it - I mean, it should be a separate thing from “autoplay of videos” on the feeds.
Search doesn’t seem to work, as shown by someone else here
Thank you!
