I own the Pro version of Sync for Reddit. Do I will receive a Pro version of Sync for Lemmy or I’ll need to buy it? Thanks!!
EDIT: good to know that everyone is going to purchase the new app, we’re all on the same boat ☺️ Also, thank you so much for Sync, it was the most used app on my phone for a while.
@ljdawson Do you have any plans?
As this will be a new app, requiring a lot of dev time, I expect we’ll have to pay for it again.
I’ve gotten countless hours of enjoyment out of Sync Pro since s paid a couple of dollars for it 11 years ago, and do not begrudge having to pay for a new app now. And by that, I mean I’m going to use some of my hard earned Google Play Rewards.
Same, I’m fully expecting (absolutely happy) to have to buy it again. Well worth it.
Google Play rewards are great. Every day I go to the gym. Google asks me afterwards if I went to the pet store next door. I say no. They give me 10c.
It’s hard work, but it does help me pay for the good things in life like apps.
I also had sync pro I mean you can’t blame the dev for reddits actions. I’m willing to pay again as long as the price is reasonable I mean he has to make some money and it isn’t his fault reddit screwed us all.
Im buying again. As my most used app EVER i could even chip $ or two for the servers on monthly basis.
I prefer buying again as well … Best app in a long time

Happy to pay like 10 to 15 for it, bought it twice prior.
I’ll defo be buying again.
I would be gladly buying Pro again, developing such a complex app is complex and time consuming and if it’s anything like the one for Reddit they deserve every penny.
I’ll be buying again regardless. Provided the price is reasonable, of course.
I don’t see any problem about paying again since will be a good app and a nice waste of time in the Fediverse timeline
I’d be more than happy to pay again but it’ll need to work without Google Play Services
I hope it doesn’t transfer over. It’s a lot of work and I certainly got my money’s worth for pro, we should be paying again.
Yeah, given the work needed to rebuild sync to work with Lemmy and all it’s differences from Reddit, I can see why the doc would need adequate compensation for the new app. It wouldn’t make sense to just give it away.
This has already been answered many times. It’s an entirely new app that you will have to buy again.
Paying once for a mobile app doesn’t make much sense for devs, on the desktop they’ll come out with a new version a year or two later that’s an upgrade or full price for the update. On mobile they can’t loose their install base so are stuck supporting customers forever who aren’t bringing in any more revenue. Most app developers make far more per user from ads on the free versions of the app. As much as I hate ads and subscription fees, I feel for the small app developer.
