Tap the account switcher in the top left corner and you should see the option.

See my comment for a screenshot. I don't know why I can't seem to post a screenshot in the body of post. Every time I try it gets removed.

    Twenty dollars one time in a world of subscriptions for an app you use hours a day really isn’t that bad. Think how much you spend on other luxuries in your day to day and $20 doesn’t get you that much.

    I also spend my days drinking tap water and breathing air. You can't say that because you use something every day that you have to pay an inflated price for it. Other developers also spend a lot of time on their apps and don't ask these absurd prices.

    Honestly I far prefer outrageous prices for good stuff than "small" monthly fees everything is going to. I'd rather pay $50 than $2 per month. If Lemmy gets as popular as reddit, I will end up using it a ton and $20 really is small for all that.

    People would have just grabbed it if it was a much lower price. He'd have bagged an initial fortune.

    Unfortunately, he's priced it such that people who are already feeling the pinch will question the price of the purchase and need justification.

    I thought it was $20 for a year and $99 for lifetime?

    The $99 is for sync ultra with ad free and extra services. For $20 you only get ad free. You can also subscribe to sync ultra for $20 per year.

    Sync ultra provides services like an online translation that have to be paid by the developer. Thus the subscription.

    WinRAR is in the same ball park. Seems reasonable. $20 is the pre Adpocalypse price for small software. It's the insanely low price of apps when Smartphones started that where off. Now we are back again.
