It's a nice app mostly but there's a few things stopping me from loving it currently
The only one I can help you with:
Tap a comment, three dots, select text, and now you can copy anything you want.
press FAB button and click on hide read, it will hide all post that you have viewed..not sure of it's an ultra feature but click on a comment, press dotted button on the side and choose select text...if I'm not mistaken the pro version will come soon when the app is out of beta phase
You can hide viewed posts, there's a button for it. Click the 3 dots in the top right and it's there.
You can highlight and copy text from a comment, tap the comment, 3 dots, select text.
Not sure if the swipe to hide is still available. That was a godsend in Reddit days.
Still available! You can find them at: Settings->Post options->Swipe actions
Personally I keep upvote/downvote as the first two swipe actions, third as the save post.
Edit: pro-tip I just found after seeing someone else do it: long press on a setting in sync will copy a link to that setting. And you can paste it in a comment as such:
Settings shortcut: Post options > Swipe to hide
That's what I love most about Sync. So incredibly customizable.
I also prefer a one time payment. But software doesn't maintain itself.
I hate paying subscription fees to giant greedy megaconglomerations but when we are talking about independent developers charging a reasonable fee for a great app, well...
Doesn't have to be the most expensive app I've ever bought though. While also collecting and selling data. Right? Don't get me wrong, I love Sync. I just feel it went a bit overboard.
Yeah but that doesn't stop cheap people like me from uninstalling the app, I refuse to pay a subscription fee.
