I see why many people are unhappy about it, but it's nothing special. For me the bigger issue is the price. Compared with the FOSS alternatives, Sync doesn't offer a lot to justify it's astonishing price point. I understand that they have to recoup the development cost with a much smaller audience, but the high price point compared to the many great free options is just not worth it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Botree@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (6 children) This, in the span of 30mins or less. It's a major turnoff. I've considered getting the lifetime ad-free version but I'm not paying USD170 just for an app. Got to give credit where credit's due though, Sync is hands down the best Lemmy app I've used so far. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] funimation@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) What app did you use to monitor this? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Botree@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago It's the App Tracking Protection function in Duckduckgo's browser. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (3 children) Removing ads is just 20$ The 170$ is to support the dev and for more extensive features permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Botree@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago (2 children) Where do I find the $20 option?

Sync ultra removes ads too but is more expensive because it has extra features. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Botree@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago Ahhh ok thanks for that! I was looking in the wrong place all along. Wonder why dev didn't just place this option in or at least next to Sync Ultra. I'll probably hold out till I see what Boost has to offer first. permalink fedilink source parent
