Everyone is free to do what they want, but with the bugs this has, and the ads it contains, and the high lifetime price, it's a hard pass for me
I can handle bugs but I choose to live ad-free and I aint paying that insane price to do so
If you'd really live ad free then you shouldn't see any ads in Sync because you'd have them blocked device-wise.
You can block ads on your entire device without losing functionality in random places?
Yes, you can use something like adguards DNS, I am using it for a while and I have not had any issues
There are even DNS to do that.
Adfree is 20 bucks, how is that insane?
Imo it's not bad, but I need to wait and see how I like it. I used relay for Reddit so not familiar with it. I am just doing the $2 sub for this month as a trial. So far it crashes out as soon as I enter account info and then try to change options. It's a beta so I emailed email listed on Google play for it. Obviously that will need to be fixed. :)
It's got a nice interface though. Can see why people liked it.
how much is it?
Someone in the comments said $115 or $150
That's for ultra. Simple adfree is 20 for a lifetime.
Not bad, but still i'd rather use a true open source app
I love the sentiment. If they only they didn't look hideous compared to Sync...
Connect is fine
It's functionally tolerable but I find it extremely ugly.
Just checking it out now and I think it might be worth it if it becomes a daily driver.
The fact the lemmy web app is perfectly serviceable, and there are free alternatives takes some of the bite for me. It's just a simple choice of whether this app is worth it to me.
insane
$20 for lifetime ad-free, $99 for lifetime "Ultra" which has features that use paid APIs for translation and image parsing.
