Why does it looks like an iOS app
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.
It's definitely Not lacking in quality. I've never used an iOS app, so I don't really know what people mean when they say it looks like an iOS app, but Voyager (formerly wefwef) is a great app.
It's inspired by Apollo, which is also why the dev called it Voyager: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program
You can change the look on

Ehh the app certainly isn't for me. Seems like plenty of other people aren't bothered by it
What i like from voyager is the "mark as read on scroll" setting. This makes it so i get something new every time I open the app without having to mark as read every post that I came across
Sync has that option which is nice. I'll probably swap to Boost for Lemmy when that comes out, which also had that option before.
