One-time payment for ad-free is live in Beta 25. It's $19.99 USD. Update your app if you don't see it. (sh.itjust.works)

Tap the account switcher in the top left corner and you should see the option.

See my comment for a screenshot. I don't know why I can't seem to post a screenshot in the body of post. Every time I try it gets removed.

Yeah, nah. That's too pricey to remove ads for a single app.

You're not paying to remove ads. You're supporting the development and making it worthwhile for the developer to continue to create the app.

That it happens to remove ads is just a side benefit. You can remove ads from all apps using a VPN based ad blocker anyway (on android).

No, we're paying to remove ads. And $26 CDN to remove ads feels really high when I paid $3.69 to remove ads in Boost and $4.49 to remove ads in Relay in 2019.

I like how you bothered to speak of supporting the dev yet mentioned how to stop ads with a VPN based blocker.

Yes it is steep for me in Quebec with taxes it is 31 $ . But I had the option to use 20$ in google play credits from Google rewards. 11$ is an ok deal. Remember that sync is the first Lemmy app from former Reddit devs and that the developer worked really hard to release it.

I am aware of the scenario. Sync for Lemmy is not just relaunching into a fresh world here. The dev shouldn't come in with unreasonable pricing. Not when we can use very nice apps such as Connect instead for free, and ad free.

Paying to remove ads is supporting the dev. This is doubly true when you can get no ads without paying (though sync will still have blank spots where the ads were supposed to go).
