    I used Sync Pro for years but I’ve found the connect app to be pretty close.

    So yeah I’d probably have used sync for lemmy if it was priced similarly to the Reddit one but I’ve no interest in paying 10 times more to remove ads or any type of subscription.

      The prices are super harsh. >€20 just to remove ads. €19/year for the subscription.

      I get that they have much less potential users to spread their costs on, but that’s too much for the added benefit over e.g. connect.

        Subscription for sync ultra. Extra features. To remove ads one time payment is coming afaik. And currently I don’t see a single ad with dns ad blocker. Not even the ad space.

            I got enough use out of Sync for Reddit that I figure I owe the guy $20.

            Not a fan of the lifetime price for Ultra, but it is what it is.

        I am on the free version and it looks and feels exactly the same as my sync pro for reddit.

            I’m not seeing any either, but that’s because I have an ad blocker. But still, €20 for removing ads is a massive amount.

              I’m not using a DNS ad-blocker and I’ve only seen two or three ads over hours on the service. I personally find that tolerable, but to each their own.

            Yeah exactly. Sync pro doesn’t have any.

        I use a mobile browser and don’t see ads on Lemmy. Why plaster it with ads? What’s the benefit this app gives me?

      This is just beta. The developer is bringing one time payment for removing ads.

      Everyone keeps talking like there isn’t a free version. I didnt pay anything to down load thus app. Did I get hidden charged or something?

        It’s free but has ads unless you pay to remove them

      Does the connect app have comment navigation to jump to parent comments? I couldn’t find it for weeks and I’m now using sync because it’s so polished.
