Sync is a perfectly fine app for me. I tried all other apps and nowhere near to sync. I don't even have ads on the free version as I am using dns ad blocker. The moment one time payment for removing ads is out(it is coming), I will buy it. Or I will donate to dev in some other way as I am not a fan of subscriptions.

I have the option to remove ads in Sync right now. =)

With subscription

Edit: nevermind, the one time purchase is up now!

[–] theyawner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And without. The update already provides the option to just Remove ads.

I bought the subscription for one year to support the developer. I hate subscriptions though. I can't see a one time purchase...

[–] cassiesandwich@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's out, but it's 20$ for just ad removal (up from 5$ a month ago) and 100$ for lifetime (up from 30$). It's extremely clear that they are pushing towards the subscription

they?

he.

there is 1 dev.

[–] dutchkimble@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

A very deserving dev

I used sync for reddit for so many years and paid $2... I just paid the ad removal price on the new app right away. Even if the app ends up sucking, i want to support the dev for all the previous work

I will definitely consider switching to FOSS option though

I do not have ads either....but no idea why I do not have an ad blocker, they just appear.empty for some reason.

[–] Mythril@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah they are empty on my phone too, and I've never used any DNS-adblocking on my home network. I suspect it might be because whatever ad system Sync uses currently just doesn't have any ads for my country, but I don't actually know.

There's just nothing that comes even close to Sync for me. Happy to support the developer.

[–] R7R@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've tried different reddit third party apps for months at a time, and I've got to say, Sync is probably the best app I have used in terms of designs and fluidity.

What adblocker are you using?

[–] faintedheart@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I am using a private dns ad blocker. android phones have the option to change the dns server, I changed it to dns.adguard.com

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Best option on Android: Netguard, the F-Droid-version. The Google Play Store version has no adblocking capability.
