    Its nice but its an ad supported experience, I’d rather just pay for the app than pay a monthly/yearly subscription. Good new option, just not one I’ll be using specifically.

        I hate ads and will never download an app that has ads for a platform that doesn’t have ads, just so I have to pay to get rid of ads (which of course includes tracking you for the best ads).

        “No added ads” is a non-feature.

        I understand people wanting to support the dev, but is their code so bad that they really have to add ads to make money? Apollo never had ads.

            You can either charge for good code or for no-ads.

            Charging for no-ads on an opensource platform is just sad. Why not enrich instead?

            Edit: Apollo was made for Reddit, some smug corp. and even they didn’t have ads. Ads on opensource is misusing opensource.

            If you read my comment you know I never said I expect anyone to work for free. Don’t put those words in my mouth, if it is what you are thinking yourself.

            Yes I prefer up front payment over ads (in the EU you have a right to withdrawal your purchase if you regret).

            I prefer not having tech at all over having Google’s ads. Even 1 ad before being able to remove those ads, on an ad free platform. Any developer working with Google ads is not trustworthy.

            Instead, support and donate to your instance. Those people work just as hard if not harder.

              Just a heads up, Sync’s just been updated with a one-time payment for permanently removing ads. The Sync dev is just one guy working on it full time, so I think the pricing ($20/€20) is fair.

          iOS users are more likely to pay for apps. ad-supported is common. Of course you could so both.

            I’m a dev myself. I’d never disrespect my userbase by adding ads and tracking to my products. Instead, they can choose to pay for real features.

            Edit: But Sync are free to do as they wish. Just weird that they add ads to an ad-free platform. You’re paying for the problem they created, not for innovation.

    I received the alert it was available and downloaded it right away, so happy to be back on Sync!

      Fantastic. No bugs for me so far but it’s only been a few minutes (and I’m not using lemmy.world). I’m excited lol, feels so great to be back

      You’re the kind of person who will never donate money to your favorite instance or to Lemmy development.

        Cry me a river. Why should i have to use proprietary app with ads and in app p… If there is open source apps that give you all of that without all the bull… and tracking?

          For someone who has a choice you are super pissed off.

          Obviously there’s nothing wrong with what you want no more than there’s anything wrong with people who like a particular app author and want to support him.
