Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Submitted beta 25 to Google play that adds the option to do a one time payment.
Not complaining, but 15€ for ad-removal without the sync-ultra-features is a bit steeper than I expected.
I understand that the smaller user base probably requires higher prices, but that’s a number that made me reluctant to pull the trigger.
I’m subscribing to Ultra anyway, but with Sync for Reddit, I always enjoyed the option to fall back to “Pro,” if I let my subscription lapse. I was going to pounce right away on Sync for Lemmy Pro, but now I’m not so sure.
Joke on you. Now it goes up to €22. /s
Wow, you weren’t kidding. That’s literally more than 10 times what I paid for the original Sync for Reddit Pro (standalone, without the ad- and tracking framework).
That’s “I want to technically offer a one-time-payment option, but don’t want people to actually use it”-pricing, especially since it doesn’t come with any of the additional subscription features.
I just went from “cool, this will probably be my new home” to “I can’t wait to see what Boost has to offer”.
As someone who bought the premium version of pretty much every single 3rd Party Reddit client (and just about every app I use that allows for ad-removal), this might be the first one I’ll skip.
yep. same with me - been using it since the early days.
I think ljdawson has been listening too much to his fanboys at the discord. They’ve been suggesting steep subscribing and one-off prices. I can’t believe the dev follow it through.
Not everyone has the same level of income as these fanboys. Just imagine, the price is already steep in the US, and Europe - how about for those who have to pay in average 3-5 times more due to exchanged rate? Crazy price. Anyway, we’ll see.

So your a previous sync user? Something that made me pull the trigger was remembering just how much time I spent using sync the past couple years. I had a shitty chain restaurant burger earlier today for about $20 that I regretted. I think spending $20 on an app that I use for a couple hours daily is well worth it imo.
I used several Reddit apps over the years, mostly Relay, Sync, Dash (rip) and Boost. Boost and Sync were my favorites in the end, with a slight preference for Boost (per subreddit view settings and a much better gallery view being the core reasons).
I bought them all and even subscribed to Sync Ultra several times since its inception. I’ll subscribe to Sync for Lemmy as well, at least until Boost comes out - my ad-filter is preventing the ads from loading anyway and I’ll feel better subscribing.
But I will break with my rule to purchase the ad-free version of any app if it’s available on this occasion. 22€ is simply too much to gamble on an app with an uncertain future and a flaky history. ljdawson already paused work on Sync on at least one occasion and is almost certainly going to do it again if this financial gamble isn’t working out.
Are you planning a separate “Sync Pro” app without the app-framework? Like it used to be?
No. Google suspended me last year for that
That’s cool id totally do that and maybe subscribe for extra features some months if that’s a thing
Thank you. Also recommend adding a copy of this inside of the settings menu. I did not see you had added this until another commenter pointed it out post-update.
Done
