Let’s face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It’s no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there’s no indication the dev is still active.
Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn’t change as much.
Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They’ll possibly buy this app before noticing that it’s subtly broken.
Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don’t fall into the same trap.
Weird, how come I paid 20€ for it?
Idk why did you?
Come on, don’t play stupid
Not sure what you’re talking about. I downloaded it for free off the play store.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain it, if you’re actually not understanding it.
Sync is a freemium app. You can use it for free, but you will have ads and tracking. Or you can pay a one-time fee to upgrade to premium, which removes ads and trackers. This upgrade costs 20€.
Just use an add-blocking DNS on your phone.
Why? I’m happy to support the developer of an application I use (as long as he actually uses the funds to fund further development).
Was it worth it?
