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.

    But it isn’t sync directly doing this, it’s ads and sites you go to within the app.

    It is though, since the Sync dev is the one that added the ads in.

      Look, you can play around with the wording all you want, but there is a difference between an app having trackers and an ad service having trackers. Since blocking the ads blocks the trackers, and paying to stop the ads blocks the trackers, the difference is obvious since that’s the source of them, and the only source of them.

        The dev of sync put ads in his app…….he even specifically says that unless you pay to remove the ads you will be “tracked”.
