Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Because you know what sync provides and why it’s worth spending money on it. I get these arguments and they are valid but no one forces anyone to use an app. You can just ignore it. I also prefer open source apps and don’t like subscriptions but I bought the Ultra even if I just want to remove the ads. Also the price is not that big so i think of it as a donation.
It’s a nice app, but so is Jerboa, which does not have ads. If there was a one-time ad-free purchase; I would strongly consider it; but I’m not going to pay a subscription to avoid ads on an already ad-free website.
He has already said the onetime ad free purchase is in the works
Glad to hear 👍
Edit image for those who are curious:
It’s out now, and it’s $20. Way too steep of a price for me.
OK I haven’t seen it yet, guess my playstore hasn’t updated yet. $20 isn’t even a decent lunch for me where I live, so that’s cheap for me 😂… I mean the $16.99 sub for a year was cheap for me, so one time $20 is a steal
That makes me nervous for how much he’s going to charge… I paid like $8 for the last one I used on reddit for ten years.
How is it “in the works”? It’s not hard to implement, seeing as how he already did it.
And no timeline when it’s coming just a promise it will?
Sounds more like he just wants to test the waters and see what he can make.
Well I’ve known him to be a straight up guy for a long time so I’m not gonna impute any wrong motives to him as you are. It’s all a choice, if you don’t like the app don’t use it, simple. By the same token others like me choose to use the app, subscription or whatever, and you should accept that too. I could say that you just sound like a negative hater, but I won’t.
Because he prioritized his time in getting the application usable rather than implementing various tiers of payments instead.
One of the messages to the discord this morning seems to indicate he’s planning on adding the one time ad-free unlock today.
He literally already has all the other tiers of payment, though? You can select “per month” or “per year”, you just don’t have an option for one-time.
Honestly a third sub option for lifetime wouldn’t have been a timesink. Just like the old version had. I guess it was more of a time waste removing the third option.
The dev don’t want to charge money while the app is still buggy. The subscription option is there for the die hard fans who keep pestering him to let them send their money. If it weren’t for people pestering him, the option to subscribe is probably not even offered right now.
I don’t know. Going by that logic, there should not be any ads in the beta as well as the app is not officially finished. That way people can use and try the app until the official launch and then buy it when the one time ad free purchase options are added without being exposed to our tracked by ads.
Can’t argue with that, I’ll go that route if it were me, but ultimately it’s the app creator’s decision.
deleted by creator
Holy shit y’all are miserable lmao
If it’s not so hard then why aren’t you making your own awesome app in your free time and giving it away without ads?
I believe the developer is working on a one-time payment Pro version that removes ads. Ultra has additional features for a subscription fee.
It’s out now. $20. No thanks.
I bought it. I want to support LJ. He’s doing a great job and really got shafted by reddit.
Yeah I’m sticking with voyager/memmy
This is also the dev that got really hurt over his paying customers not liking when he completely changed the app they paid for under their nose with no option to roll back, and quit pushing updates for a while after that. It was a whole thing.
I’m not paying a dev that can’t handle feedback and has an entire fanclub cheering on literally every single decision.
idk man 530 TRY is kinda not that small of a donation
yeah it was 185 try in sync for reddit although it was probably last updated when try/usd was 20 or so
I like sync and spend most of my phone screen time on it so I’m all for buying lj a case of beer once a year.
This right here. I had ultra for reddit and was paying monthly out of my Google rewards earnings. I’m going to do the same again.
I’m never surprised by the lack of understanding as to what it actually costs to run the servers and the time that goes into services and apps like this.
Haha I was the same and didn’t know what to do with myself when I deleted the other app when the blackouts started. Like I would take my phone out, stare at it for a few seconds and put it away again.
Anyway I found other things to do instead of Reddit, and now I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to get Sync again lol. I’ve done so well!
Exactly what I thought, agree 100 %
