I'm curious what you Android users think of the Android vs Apple theme for the Voyager app.

Which one do you prefer?
Which one do you think should be the default for new/novice users? Why?

This would be the default, but don't worry, you will always be able to choose. I would also like to note that in the future Voyager will have a Material 3 theme, but not yet!

Thanks for your help!

Edit: thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I’ll probably make android the default theme on android for new users.

Oh my god I had no idea there was a device selection and the Android one feels so much better. Please keep it as the default for new Android users.

Yes, the apple theme was initially off-putting to be honest and I doubt most casual users take the time to check out the settings before looking elsewhere. First choice should always be (imo) the most familiar/comfortable for users.

The android theme needs some work. Especially, in regards to animations. They are abrupt compared to the Apple version.

Also, I noticed when using the quote feature. It is the same color as the theme background making it impossible to see. The apple version renders it as grey making it slightly more visible.
