This has just leapfrogged every app I use. It is THE BEST app for Lemmy.

[-] yesterdayshero@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I loved Sync for Reddit, but let's not get too carried away. You can't submit posts yet.

[-] IFleeFromTheShape@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Its nice but its an ad supported experience, I'd rather just pay for the app than pay a monthly/yearly subscription. Good new option, just not one I'll be using specifically.

[-] faintedheart@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Use private dns which blocks ads. I am using that and there are no ads.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Great idea! Is Adguard still the all around best?

[-] noodlejetski@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

NextDNS is more customizable and less Russian.

[-] crag@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah

[-] WigglingWalrus@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah.

[-] crag@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We said it the same time XD

[-] StoicLime@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

A lifetime purchase option has been added. A little pricy though imho.

[-] RaulitoElLobito@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The subscription model is not a great idea considering lemmy is not as popular as reddit.

What's the connection between code quality and adding ads to make money?

I don't agree with the premise that you can only charge for one or the other though. The Sync dev has a track record of putting out a very performant app for close to a decade. A one time ad removal fee and an optional subscription is pretty reasonable IMO.

I get the philosophical problems you have with it though. In the end I'm still using it because I paid like $5 none years ago and got way more than my money's worth with it on Reddit. The ad unlock is more expensive here, but it's probably an early adopter tax with the user base here being a tiny fraction of Reddit.

As for Apollo, I'm not sure how many Apple users pay for apps but if I had to guess they probably outnumber android users easily.

It also feels dirty to use an app only available in the Apple ecosystem as a paragon of open source ideals. That's a pretty adaptive Stallman meter.

[-] AProfessional@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

iOS users are more likely to pay for apps. ad-supported is common. Of course you could so both.

[-] Cunty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I received the alert it was available and downloaded it right away, so happy to be back on Sync!

[-] CoachDom@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Any good?

[-] BackStabbath@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Fantastic. No bugs for me so far but it's only been a few minutes (and I'm not using lemmy.world). I'm excited lol, feels so great to be back

[-] vpsxhtus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

this is the best app for lemmy rn

[-] RaulitoElLobito@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Sorry no it's not.

[-] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Mine still says pending but it seems to be trying. Excited to try it out

[-] i_r_n00b@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

I had to hit cancel and install again and then it went immediately. Not sure why it got stuck in pending mode. It feels good to have sync back!

[-] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

That worked. Thanks!
