I already made this post a year ago, and indeed: Sync has been left to die, and we have been scammed.

Please give Sync a bad rating so unsuspecting users don't use, or even worse buy, an abandoned app.

Done.

Very unfortunate it has come to this but zero communication might be the biggest slap in the face. I'm glad the work from the developer was such high quality over the years (from Reddit to here) and I do not regret spending money on this app, including the absurd pricing for the Lemmy version .... but for the app to be abandoned without any communication feels bad man.

At very least just say something. Oh well. I hope they are doing well and are healthy at least. There are bigger things in life than stuff like this. But in the future, I hope developers in general can just say if they are going to abandon an app or not.

I started off on Sync, used it on Reddit, paid for it. Was so happy to hear when he was supporting Lemmy and paid for it again.

Sadly since then I have switched to Voyager after a few times went by with no updates. Hope he’s okay, but a little communication would have gone a long way.

What exactly is so bad about sync and what makes the others better? I'm not trying to be a jackass I've heard this before but I've never really understood it. I started on a couple of apps like I think probably jerboa and Voyager when they first came out and they were kind of buggy. Sync came out and it worked better than the others.

So what am I being a fool about please educate me, are we just giving it bad reviews cuz it's not updated and seemingly poor as hell communication by the creator?

Done, should have done that a lot sooner. Also make sure to go into the reviews and mark ones calling out the abandonment as helpful to boost them.

Thanks for the heads-up. Switched from 5 stars to 1 star.

Done

I switched to boost a year or so ago and have been happy with it

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Boost is a great option! I've personally switched to Summit, but we're really lucky to have many great app options available on Android.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Awesome! Summit is new to me, I'll give it a go.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 2 hours ago

Summit is by far my favourite too. Boost is nice but for me I can't live without swipe gestures anymore. Let's you remove a bunch of buttons and makes the interface so much cleaner.
