Can someone point out what the major differences are (or does this exist somewhere already)?

I’ve been on Android for years now and don’t really understand what made Voyager too iOS. The only real differences I see are fonts and they currently look better/cleaner on the iOS version.

Are there functional differences between the two? Or is it really just font and spacing?

    I only tested it for a couple of minutes and my understanding is that it’s just a cosmetic change to make Wefwef/Voyager look more in line with the native UI of Android.

      Yeah. I’m trying to test it out now for a bit. But I prefer the iOS version. The UI still seems to function exactly the same, with some minor cosmetic changes.

        Yes I’d have to agree. I think at the moment (not sure if it’ll change in a bigger way as it progresses, remember it’s still just a beta) it’s just a font change.

        It looks to be that the iPhone font is just a little bit more bolder? Which can look better to some. Either way it’s awesome how you can change the “theme” and it works on both platforms.

    I just started using the Android look and I LOVE it! I see that it is only a cosmetic change, but I love it nevertheless. Personally, the ios look was a tiny thing I did not like about this app so I am glad this option is available.

      Is it just the font though? You could just increase the font size even before the new option was introduced.

        It’s not just font size. It’s a different font, also the look of the bottom bar is different. So of it’s a cosmetic change but the “look” is different. I like it because I didn’t like the ios “look”.

    iOS uses a swipe back gesture for everything

    Android expects a back button/system back gesture

    Which is why I can’t really use the Android mode… my iPhone has no back button. I have to hit the back arrow at the top left for everything

      Where is there a difference in the UI though? As both seem to have a back arrow/button to navigate back. I may need to keep playing around with it, as I’m still not seeing much of a difference in the app. But it’s still in beta so maybe that’s why.

        On the Android setting you cannot swipe to go back, which is what iPhone users expect.

        The font is different. Popup menus are full width. Comment response takes up the full screen.
