Oh man, Sync is just so great and only $20 to get no ads you should give it a try!
Play store link: Sync for Lemmy
Comment on As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 year agoI agree, just wish they would stop mentioning how their app is “just so great and only $20 to get no ads” in every single thread and every other post on every instance

Are “they” in the room with us right now?

The only comments I personally see are complaining about the price. Most people just use it. I subscribed instantly and knew I would before the price was revealed. I’m only saying it because it’s on topic now, but tend not to get into the discussion because in the end it’s up to the individual whether or not the cost makes the app worth using.

I use Sync because it was my favorite client for reddit but I’m definitely gonna hold out on paying until there is a sale or something. My usage of Lemmy is not that high at the moment.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And I would never say that anyone should pay for something unless they feel it to be worth the price. Just like I wouldn’t tell someone not to pay for it because I think the price is too high for me.
I’ve used Sync for as many years as I was on reddit. I paid almost nothing for the app back then compared to the amount of time I’ve spent on it.

I also see comments concerning their privacy policy. Which is fair.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey, I get that. A lot of people over here are very privacy conscious and I’m not against it at all. The dev just hasn’t ever given me a reason to distrust them in all the years I’ve used the app. There’s been a built up trust, so to speak.

But that’s more in response to people saying it cost over 100$ to remove ads and it has trackers.
The ultra life time cost 100$, it stops the ads and also comes with some extra features that isn’t needed to enjoy sync.
For 20$ the ads will stop and the trackers will be disabled.

Why would you need to pay $20 to access free content? Devs don’t pay any creator who makes you scroll Lemmy. They are useless and sell you air.
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year ago
If someone sell an air purifier, would you berate them for selling access to free air? Of course not, your can still get free air without it. The air purifier just make the free air feel nicer. Just like sync making browsing free Lemmy contents feel nicer.

This feels a bit more like setting up a ticket booth outside a public library, and offering a half-assed tour where the guide just reads the signs to you
I’m going to roll my eyes any time someone says they can’t use the library without it, but you do you. If it keeps y’all reading, then that’s fine.

My comment to that is in every single thread and every other post on every other instance someone is saying how sync is ad filled and tracker heavy. So let’s just all agree to never talk about apps, ever.

I wasn’t a Sync user on Reddit, but Relay didn’t make it over to Lemmy. Sync has some of the most non-intrusive ads I’ve ever seen, and that’s coming from someone who is extremely anti-ads. They’re very different from the actual posts and super easy to just scroll past. It’s also very clearly made by someone who is great with UI/UX.
