### 1/5 — If you want to read what porn addicts & incels have to say.. come to Lemmy

*2026-07-16, version 2.47.4*

I didn’t think a place could be worse than reddit but I was wrong, the app was like installing a mini hell

### 4/5 — D’autre langue

*2026-07-03, version 2.47.3*

Application alternative à Reddit vraiment au top. Le seul truc qui est dommage c’est qu’on a pas le paramètre pour changer ou choisir une autre langue qui nous conviendrait le mieux. Donc s’il vous plaît ajouter un paramètre pour changer la langue..

### 5/5 — The best lemmy/piefed app on iphone

*2026-06-26, version 2.47.2*

I really like the compact view with the thumbnail on the right here.  Moved from Arctic since they stopped updating the app and this is superior.

I really like how the large post view here, it's my second favorite after thunder's card view, it's faster than thunder and is more feature-complete though.

### 5/5 — Voyager for Lemmy Review

*2025-12-01*

I love the Voyager app so much. It’s open source and privacy focused with lots of great features.

As my first and currently only starting point for Lemmy I found it to be one of the most accessible apps out there.

### 1/5 — Expected a community of like-minded people

*2025-11-28, version 2.40.4*

Do you dislike how reddit's upvote system encourages engagement farming?

Do you dislike AI?

Do you dislike lifeless corporatization?

Do you dislike memes without any depth?

Do you dislike keyboard warriors that run on pride instead of their own selfless values?

Then don't touch this thing.

### 1/5 — Share links open an ad for voyager instead of the post/comment

*2025-11-16, version 2.40.3*

If a link to a post or comment is shared from voyager instead of taking you to the post or comment it takes you to an ad for voyager. If you use a different lemmy, or piefed app this means you cannot see the post or comment in your app.

### 3/5 — Make it better

*2025-11-06, version 2.40.1*

I regret updating to the October 2025 version. More images fail to load in my feed than before, and when I go back to All from a sub, it freezes. This version did not fix the mandatory reload when memory is low-ish.

### 5/5 — GOAT’d

*2025-10-20, version 2.40.1*

Why is this free—THANK YOU! The New Apollo!

### 3/5 — Better than many, but still a lot of bugs

*2025-09-29, version 2.40.0*

I’m glad this dev is still active. So many good Lemmy apps have been abandoned. Overall this app has a lot of the best features, but the bugs are still too numerous to tolerate. 
When I block a user or community, the first time, the app helpfully hides the post and I continue on. Later, if I block another, the feed JUMPS and I have to figure out where I was.
There are TONS of image/video posts that simply will never load on this app, yet they work flawlessly in nearly all other apps.  
The worst, though, is the crashing. It seems like this app doesn’t do a good job of keeping its memory cleaned up. If I scroll (sorted by new) the app will crash after about a day’s worth of my subscribed feed.  I can sometimes mitigate this by manually clearing the cache a few times during my browsing.
I would love to see a merger between this app and the Arctic app. I walked away from these bugs and switched to Arctic, but it has sadly joined the abandonware heap.
Devs, I’m back on V-GER for now because the abandoned Arctic has begun to fail with server timeouts. You’re getting a second look out of me after some time. All of the bugs I walked away from are still here.  I hope they’re on your priority list somewhere.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-09-22, version 2.40.0*

Makes viewing Lemmy from the phone very intuitive and many of the features put it on par or better than comparable (now defunct due to corporate greed and exorbitant API access costs) third-party apps for Reddit.
