Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.

[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.

There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don't agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!

If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

It's by far the nicest Lemmy app I've used on Android. I used to use sync for reddit too.

It's a no brainer for me.

[–] YourNewDaddy@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Um... No. There are plenty of free options I will use instead.

It's.the principle of it.

Sync's dev is being greedy. Most of the reason why I left Reddit was because they were being greedy.

I'm not supporting that shit.

[–] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

So the 'principle' is that developers shouldn't be compensated for their hard work because it inconveniences you, is that right? Comparing a $20 lifetime purchase to the Reddit API pricing debacle is completely ridiculous. You sound incredibly entitled.

a premium is worth it.

but also we need to help instance owners somehow too.

I'm a day 1 Ultra! I have so missed the Sync experience since Reddit went apeshit cray cray. When sync for Reddit went dark I haven't gone back. I left it installed just In case I clicked a reddit link. I haven't been back to Reddit. But I will log one one final time to review my subs and then reddit is dead. Sync for Lemmy feels so familiar and awesome to use. Can't wait to help develop new communities here in the fediverse.

Fuck this ad invested, data collecting, closed source piece of shit. Use infinity instead.

So speaking of that, it seems like you have to pay per device. I payed for ultra on my phone, but it doesn't seem to carry over to my tablet.

I can't believe everyone asking for a one time payment option. If you don't want to keep subscribing just get a yearly ultra and then cancel. Support the dev guys. Nothing worth having is free
