Sorry for the separate thread, but maybe it gives some people a little Boost to support the dev.

Like many others have said; it feels like home again and i can finally delete some (not all, just in case) other apps from my phone.

Thank you dev!

Wondering, will the the option to remove ads will stick on the final version? if I buy now, will there be a separate app when the final version comes?

[-] Papanca@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I was wondering the same thing. I'm guessing it will stick, otherwise - i assume - that option would probably not be visible for us just yet.

The purchase is through Google Play, and this is the same app listing in the app store, were just getting the early version. So, there's no good reason for it NOT to transfer to the public version since it'll essentially be the same as an app updating normally.

Thanks for the reminder. Purchased the app and gave him some premium fuel!

I deleted all. If I'm keeping anything it's Voyager, but I waited too long for this to keep other apps arround. It's just so good. Very nice work Ruben.

I'm just keeping a few, in case anything breaks in Boost. I used a lot of apps, but lately really liked Connect. However, there was a bug in there that only some people experienced, where i could not read any comments in one of my accounts. So, just in case something like that happens in Boost, i'm keeping two other apps around.

Bought it too. But why mentioning advertising ? Is there ads on Lemmy ?

[-] Papanca@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Lemmy has no ads, they exclusively work with donations, i think. But Boost has ads.

[-] fixmycode@feddit.cl 6 points 9 months ago

Boost (test version) has ads

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

how do you buy boost? on the play store it still just says "registered" for me?

[-] Papanca@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

The dev made a featured post. In there, you will find a special link to the beta testing part. So, ignore the boost app where it says you registered. Just follow the link in the Lemmy post (pinned at the top)

Look for the pinned post that the dev made; in it you'll find a special link to go to the beta access. So, ignore the 'ordinary' boost for lemmy link where you can register. Hope this helps!

Btw, you can't login with 2Fa.

There was a user, don't remember who, who said:

For anyone unable to login due to 2FA: a workaround for now is to login elsewhere, disable 2FA, login to Boost, then re-enable 2FA. Bit of a pain because you get a new token but as long as you don't log out of Boost it appears to stick.
