I was planning to wait and see what Boost has to offer before deciding if I should pay $20 to remove ads on Sync, but seeing this has convinced me to delete the app for good. Even Reddit isn’t half as bad as Sync when it comes to trackers and shady ads.

    I just opened sync after installing Duck Duck Go. From within sync, Google requested 33 pieces of data. Google. Not sync. Google requested the data from within Sync. I’m fairly certain the only link to Sync that Google has, is the app store.

        I haven’t seen any ads in my Sync yet. Don’t have the space where they should be or anything. I haven’t paid either. I’m wondering if maybe it took the vanced that I had for reddit or something. But so far, it looks like I have a pair version of Sync, without having paid.
