the app feels really premium than any lemmy app I tried but the ads are a deal breaker for me. I would definitely consider purchasing it to support the developer but I can't pay monthly just to browse lemmy. Sticking with voyager for now

    Dawson has said that he is currently working on a one time and removal option, so you probably won't have to wait too long.

    I've been waiting for sync to be ready on lemmy and installed it as soon as it was. I got an ad preferences thingy and thought "fuck it, the guy got sync of the ground for lemmy in just a few weeks" worth ยฃ15.99 for the annual sub to ultra IMHO. Been using sync pro on reddit for years of the back of a tiny one of purchase. I figure for the hours I used it, he deserves more than I paid and I'm more than grateful that sync is back.

    Can I ask where you're seeing ads? I'm using Sync now, and I haven't seen any. What sort of ads are showing?

    Are you in the EU? I was curious and I don't have ads in Europe.

    I'm in Europe and I had ads, but my dns ad blocker blocked them.

    Not so far - I'm not even sure where they would be or what type of ad. Full screen? Top banner? Ones that look like posts? Weird!

    I'm using Infinity now. I was a sync pro user and the ads, tracking and subscription are a nope to me as well

    Sync Pro is back now. At a bit of a premium, though, 15โ‚ฌ IAP.

    Which is okay imo. For that the app will probably be maintained for a long time.

    I sure hope it will, but there's no guarantee. This is still a much smaller and quiet different audience than Reddit's and this might not be worth the effort for ljdawson in the long run. Heck, there were times when he paused development of the Reddit client despite its far larger reach.

    I'm honestly a little shocked by the amount of open hostility he got all over the Fediverse for simply offering a premium/ad-supported/closed-source-client.

    I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this one, 15โ‚ฌ is just a tad over the pain threshold for an app with an unknown future and there's still Boost to look forward to - I'm waiting to see Boost's pricing first.
