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Please note, it’s currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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!
Thanks! That’s very strange, image loading and caching is handled by the browser and should be quite fast.
The only thing I can think of is sync has a max height for images in feed and can set thumbnail option for their requests?
Just check. it has default options to preload images. Maybe that’s why.
Hi dev, got an update. As you said that’s very strange as it is handled by browser, this make me think that it is a browser specific issue. I just found out that my default browser, Firefox, has a tendency to auto reload tab, - that explains it. I’ve installed addon to mitigate the issue - it seems to work.
As for implementing auto-cached as sync did, I can sense now that might be beyond your control as voyager relies on external browser to work.
Oh, I’m glad you figured it out! I still think there may be a workaround for this, so keep an eye out for next release.
in addition to preloading, it has option for data saving mode.
