They can get paid, but $20 for lifetime ad removal, and $130+ sync ultra whatever it's called?
That's not beer money like another commenter said, that's fraud and stealing money for barely anything to give for it.
I should go check on my admin lol
Calling it fraud and stealing money is uncool. People aren't being forced to use the app or pay for the subscription. Let people spend their own money however they see fit.
You can’t be serious lol
You know you don’t have to use it right?
He made on of the best Reddit apps ever. Supported his app for like 10 years.
20 is nothing.
Oh yeah $20 is fine albeit a bit too much for ad removal but fine
What I really have gripes with is the $130+ ultra thing. I saw that and noped the fuck outta that app and uninstalled it as quickly as I installed it.
It also doesn't help that when I bought sync pro it was equivalent to or less than $10 and now he wants $20 for a basic ad removal? He's greedy.
Dude, you don't have to buy ultra. It's for people who want bonus features and support the dev.
This is like refusing to buy a Volkswagen because they also make Lamborghinis
Then don't put it in the app. Simple as that.
It's 2023, we're really debating over pricing in a FOSS Android app that just so happens to host a website/forum that just got popular only because people don't like the other main big internet forum?
What? Just because you don't want to pay doesn't mean no one else does.
Also sync isn't FOSS
Literally nobody would pay over $100 for an app.
And no but the service is.
Ok you go make sync then
Idiotic take
How is it fraud ?
