Mine is originally using Baconreader while in the dorm community bathroom doing a deuce and seeing a mention of Sync. Installed and instantly became a user. Later on I had a problem with the app because I was running beta Android. Reached out to the dev and after a few fix attempts an update was posted that fixed the issue. To get that kind of support is rare and is why I have continued to stand by Sync all these years.

    I used to use the official Reddit app back in 2019. Then one day, I was watching MKBHD’s What’s On My Phone video where he showed Relay for Reddit. I started used Relay from then on. Was very impressed with Relay, paid for the pro version as well.

    I thought of trying out all the clients to see if there was something better. Saw Sync being recommended on random discussions on r/AndroidApps. Gave it a try. It was good, but I was too used to Relay to make the switch. Read about the beta program for Sync (I think it was v21), gave it a go. It took some getting used to, but it was perfect for me, switched to Sync full time. I decided that I’ll buy the pro version one day (I was kinda broke :[ ).

    Stuck with Sync since then. Purchased the Pro version on 7th April 2023 (had landed a well-paying job a few months prior :] ). Then a month later all the API shenanigans happened :(. But I don’t regret the purchase one bit and I will buy the Pro version again once Sync for Lemmy comes out.

    Way back when, I thought I’ll check out what this new thing called Reddit is. Went to play store and typed Reddit, clicked on probably the top result and downloaded Sync. Since then that has been Reddit for me, apart from when I googled something on my pc and the result came on Reddit. I was shocked to see how shitty the website looked…

    Used it since early highschool, then got really invested with the app a few years back, joined the discord and became a mod on the official Subreddit. Now I’m just head waiting for our Lord LJ to release Sync for Lemmy 😉

    I don’t massively remember, it was around 2012 and I had a few Reddit clients, Reddit is fun was another one… I just eventually settled on sync… my upgrade to pro was in 2013.

      Same, I tried about all apps in 2012 or 2013, settled on Sync and bought it 10 years ago

    I’ve bought 3 copies of Sync Pro, 3 copies of Sync Dev and 2 copies of Sync Ultra over the years. Will buy Sync Dev Pro Ultra for Lemmy as soon as it’s available :D
