R5: just started checking it out. It’s cool and has some advantages of others. It’s hella expensive. Thoughts?

    I’ve been through all the apps but for me nothing feels as good as Sync. $20 a year for something I use hours every single day is a comically good value considering that’s the cost of Netflix monthly and don’t use it nearly as much.

      Removing ads in sync is $20 lifetime, not per year

          You bought the reddit version, and it was for the lifetime of the reddit app. He had to rebuild the backend from scratch for it to work with Lemmy, it isn’t the same app anymore.

              That sounds like an issue with google play store, or perhaps you bought “sync for Reddit pro” (the app) in addition to the “remove ads” (in-app purchase on the free app)

              I bought redditsync (what it was initially called before Reddit made everyone rename their apps) for $3-4 and used it for a decade without issue

                Agreed, i had a weird issue with reddit sync, major upgrade or something. I lost the premium features, i just had to restore purchases.

                I wonder if the guy were are taking too reached out to the dev at all
