Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.
My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the “why” I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts “consent” whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the “legitimate” interest which is, let’s be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That’s put me right off in all honesty sorry.
Then there’s me, who actively went hunting for where I could pay for this app as soon as I opened it
This dev has never been anything but respectful of his community. I have no qualms paying him the equivalent of 2 beers a year for something I have used for multiple hours a day every day for more than a decade. Easy value proposition.
The targeted ads thing I guess I get, but I haven’t had ads on Sync for so long it honestly didn’t really phase me because I planned to buy ad free anyway. Hopefully that bit gets streamlined.
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME
Don’t know if the dev will see this, but can you add the ability to go directly to a subreddit (community@instance) or a user (user@instance)?
Long press explore to access the search feature.
Posting from sync, let’s go!
I’ve only had a brief look, but is there a way to pay for pro (but not ultra) so I can remove ads?
Commenting from sync! I’m so happy. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I love it. Can’t wait to remove ads (because it seems IAP is not here yet?)
Yeah I’m not very interested in a subscription service but I’d happily pay a larger fee upfront to remove ads forever with no extra features. I can handle settings backup/sync myself.
Edit: It’s here! Instant purchase. :D
I love LJ’s work and will happily remove ads from Sync when possible (even though my adblocker hides them anyway). I’m not very fond of buying Ultra, as I hate paying for something I won’t use. Ironically I would rather make a recurring donation via Liberapay and get nothing out of it than pay for some functionality and feel uneasy about never using it, lol. I already support my home instance on Liberapay
The sub also gives a massive cut to Google, which is a waste of money
This is the only part of ultra that actually bothers me. I grabbed it primarily to support the development. And I’d be much more happy about it if 100% went to the creator. But app stores remove any apps that tell you how to pay a different way. So there could be a way and the app simply isn’t allowed to tell us.
