Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn't really what I want.

Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

If you haven't already, check for updates and download the latest release (beta 25) which adds a 'Remove Ads' option. Already paid myself.

Sub only?

Automatic hard pass, sorry not sorry.

There is a one-time option as well in the sidebar apparently. I'm going to go check it out and not report back.

There's both a 1-time and a sub option

There is a remove ads single payment option right? You're talking about the yearly subscription for sync ultra.

First-time user. Also purchased. Well worth the cost over all other apps out there.

I think I'm gonna a hold out a little and see how the beta unfolds. I had purchased the no-ads IAP in Sync for Reddit and it kinda always was worse/more fiddely than the (I think equally expensive) Pro version. Purchase didn't always restore after updates, sometimes something changed on the API and the no-ads purchase didn't work for days... Stuff like that, and when LJ came out with Ultra and offered a free year for Patreon backers, it was also only for users of the Pro version...

So please do excuse me for being a bit wary over a no-ads IAP, especially for 15 bucks. This time I would skip that and immediately go for a pro version, should there be one.
