Hell yeah, sync is the best, and the majority knows it
As a sync user of a few years, it's important that we don't bring down other apps while raising our own up. It's a good thing there's healthy competition! Sync is great, but that doesn't mean that other apps aren't.
Sync isn’t on iPhone. I wish Apollo was adapted for Lemmy
That’s basically Voyager (formerly wefwef) https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762
It’s great, only missing some small features from Apollo.
I know I have pretty much every Lemmy iOS app on my phone.
Voyager is pretty close. That’s probably why it is ranked so high.
No iOS notifications is a deal breaker for me…
Oh I never even realized that was missing. I haven’t enabled it in any apps though. I just see the "unread replies” dot on the inbox when I open the app.
It doesn't cost money, you could just pay to remove ads. Unless you want all the super fancy features with premium. I bought sync for reddit years ago but I'm sticking with the regular non-premium with Lemmy.
The ads on sync really aren't that annoying at all.
Can you tell me about your experience with ads on sync? Where did you see them, how often did you see them?
Sync isn't polished for lemmy yet, so yeah, there are a few rough edges. Having said that, usually a bad experience is because you didn't customize it to your liking. There is likely a setting for any UI gripe you may have had. There is even a search feature for setting because it's so customizable.
I think a lot of the love for it is that sync was arguably the best android Reddit app for a long time. People like myself have become very comfortable with sync on Reddit, and sync for Lemmy is basically the same thing we are all so comfortable with.
I looked at some of the other alternatives and they just didn't feel as good to me, but I have also been using sync almost daily for years.
