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Please note, it’s currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager.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!
Why does it looks like an iOS app
It’s inspired by Apollo, which is also why the dev called it Voyager: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program
I hate it when they do it.
I was on a development end of this and managers always pushed for the ios and android apps to be identical. It always ended up being the ios being the main and android being the afterthought copy.
Whenever i see an android app trying to look like ios, it signals that the quality is lacking.
Yeah and I get that they want to do one code base like that, but tbh just use electron at that point and do your own design.
