Never before have I been so excited for a beta app. Thank you Ljdawson!
That’s only for Android though, right?
Yeah
Oh… You’ve unleashed The Flood…
Nice
My only criticism is the subscription fee instead of a one off charge for the full set of features. I would like a lot of them but I don’t need cloud sync or another ongoing cost to worry about.
He wrote in another thread there will be a lifetime price for us who hates subscriptions. It’s coming.
That’s good to know. I bought several Reddit apps over my 15 year history with the site, I don’t have a problem supporting developers but I absolutely hate the subscription model. It feels like letting a colony of ticks leech off of you when literally EVERYONE is doing it.
It better be coming within the 20th of August, cause that’s when my Google rewards balance is expiring.
It’s already here (although maybe not in all regions?), it’s an option in the drawer:
He said in another comment in this chain he’s submitted the update with the one-time ad removal and is just waiting for approval.
Well, looking at the prices, I guess it’ll do with a small discount…
I’ve just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.
Hopefully they’ll approve the update within the next 24 hours
That’s great to hear!
<3 can tell you did some on the backend… smoother than reddit’s client
Does it just remove the ads visualization or actually disables all related data collection and tracking?
I’m pretty sure analytics is optional even if you didn’t pay a dime but feel free to correct me on that
I don’t know. That’s why I was asking lj
But lemmy does not have ads. I’m confused
Lemmy doesn’t. The app might. I don’t use sync but if I’m an app developer I could make money plugging advertisements into my app. If I design the UI well enough, and make the ads unobtrusive, I might just make enough money and not piss anyone off.
Agree. That’s a no from me. I’d pay if I like it, but injecting ads into the feed and I’m out. Just trying liftoff now. Seems solid.
Excellent, I’m looking forward to this!
Loving it, keep up the good work.
Wow you work fast.
Happy to pay the monthly fee to support this
Just to confirm, this will not be available on iOS, correct?
I have been using Memmy on iOS, which has been awesome so far.
It’s android only. But if you’re in iOS, wefwef is awesome
I think it’s now called Voyager
Not yet also Sync is still beta.
Charge your phone!
I charged it after posting this lol
I remember when I had an android phone that Sync was by far my favorite app, glad to see the transition to Lemmy. Fucking awesome.
I love it
Just the thing I’ve been waiting for. We are so back.
Never used sync before. Must be a reason people are so excited
Having never used Sync for Reddit (RIF user, rip), this is a nice upgrade over Liftoff. Great job to the devs
Finally :D
THE WORLD IS HEALING
So happy to have the sync icon back in its spot on my homescreen! Thanks LJ!!
I feel this so much. First had jerboa there and then liftoff. No shade to either of those but having sync back is just so great.
I’d tried voyager, then connect, and finally had settled on Liftoff. All are great apps especially for how quickly they were published but Sync just feels so much better to me after having used it for years for Reddit. Feels so good to be back!!
