Having a little anxiety here because this is by far the best app. I purchased a lifetime Ultra membership and it wasn't until I replaced my phone and couldn't restore it, did I find out the developer hasn't updated or posted in 2 years. (Somehow the Ultra got restored a couple days later).

I really hope the dev continued this, or issues a statement regarding the status. I also would pay for a version for Reddit (yeah I know, I just can't quit that completely yet)

Edit: thanks for the responses. So far, Voyager seems to be the closest to Sync and best alternative for me. Really sucks the dev just abandon this.

For those looking for an alternative, I switched to Voyager after it became clear Sync was abandoned. It feels similar enough to me.

I'm on Voyager, really happily with it

I could personally not vibe with Voyager at all. Maybe because I'm not on iOS, I don't know. But it didn't really feel similar to Sync to me.

There's an option to change it to an android Material style UI if you like that, however it's material 2 and not material 3

I've been looking for this option.

Tbh, as an Android user, I like the iOS look

Does it have the ability to swipe in and out of posts like Sync? Being able to navigate without using the back button is the reason I keep using Sync so far.
