Really enjoy using this app, & as an Android user, the iOS theme is a nice departure. Only minor gripe would be the battery usage, its quite a bit higher than most of the other apps I’ve tried. I realise the Android app release is new, so could possibly be optimised a bit more down the road? Thanks for the app, its a winner.👍🏼

    I have personally not seen a big hit to my battery life since I started using voyager a month ago. I haven’t looked at at individual app battery usage but the screen on time is similar to before and voyager is one of my most used apps.

        It’s the same thing as the web version, really. I would not expect there to be any performance (including battery usage) performance since fundamentals it’s the same code running the same way.

            Sure, so if you choose a browser with a particular bad rendering engine it may give worse performance or battery life compared to the app-packaged version, which uses the system’s built-in webview (Google Chrome engine in most cases) for rendering. If you’re using a Chromium-based browser to open the web version it should perform just about identical to the app-packaged version since they’re the same code and then also executing in the same rendering engine.

        Yeah I switched to that as well when it came out and I see no battery drain difference between the pwa and the native app. Maybe it is an issue because of the way the software on your phone handles battery optimisation. Could help the dev look into it if you add phone model and Android version(and if it stock or some other rom).

        Edit - By specifying your hardware may help you to find out if others with same or similar hardware are also facing the issue

          Its not big issue, was just something I noticed, as it was more than others I’ve been using, which have more or less been on par with eachother.

            Do you have battery usage per hour statistics. You have piqued my curiosity with this statement
