Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap


Pricing

  1. Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)

  2. You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20

  3. Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required

  4. I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks


There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

Lj

For some reason I can't post with the app yet.

I figured that the button labeled "Submit" would do the trick. It just says "Coming soon". That kinds sucks, but other than that, I'm loving the app so far.

Glad to see a one time fee for ad removal, but it's pretty steep. Maybe when the app matures and is not in beta I'll consider it. Thanks for the update!

[โ€“] chug@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Just want to say amazing app. It's so polished! I'll be using Lemmy much more. I came from boost on Android. I don't see the value in the ad free version yet but glad there are tiered options.

Thankyou for all your hard work with Sync over all these years!! One question I had is would the charges be lessened if we buy no ads now and switch to ultra later?

Thank you for your services during the Reddit "era"!

[โ€“] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One thing is like, is when I click to see the context of a reply, that you'd automatically show my post at the top. 0% chance I know what someone is responding to, especially if it's like a 'lol yeah!' kind of reply.

I know there's a link, bit of it's possible to just eliminate that extra step is be so happy.

Else, this is solid

So happy to be back using Sync! I've used Sync for reddit for about ten years so it feels great to be using this for lemmy.

Will there be a return of the feature for automatically hiding posts after voting on them? That was one of my favorite features as it helped to prevent seeing the same posts over and over again.

It really is tempting to click on that $99 lifetime sub. I kinda feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of Sync for Reddit, and I'll use it for many more than the five years it would take to pay more for yearly subs.

Ive been using Sync for 2h now and its just perfect. As already said I havent really used it a lot but until noa everything was great.

The only thing that I immediately saw and changed was teh font size. On default it was on "smaller" and I changed it to "normal" so I could also read the comment, because on smaller it was really small.

Also the price is totally ok on my perspective, you put in the work and make it even opptional so we can use it for free.

Overall the UI is glorious and for my preferences even better then reddits ones.

I'm an Sync Ultra user from Reddit and bought Sync Ultra again yesterday. No regrets.

I don't mind spending a few dollars on a program that I spend as much time with as I do Sync. I've never understood the psychology of people who believe anything more than a dollar for a phone app is too much.

Thanks man! I really loved the Sync user experience on reddit and I'm glad it's now here too. In fact, when logged in on feddit.de (which currently isn't prone to outages like lemmy.world) it runs so fast that I sometimes think the content has been loaded from the cache โ€“ but it isn't. Really great.

My only wish would be for Sync to respect the setting that I selected on the website to not show any post/comment scores. Not constantly checking scores really helps with digital detox and also leads to me reading posts that I'm actually interested in (by the headline) instead of looking at stuff just because it has a lot of upvotes.

I don't know if this is already the case or not, or how hard it would be to implement, but since Ultra is a superset of ad-free, it would be swell if there was upgrade pricing so you could pay $80 to go from ad-free to Ultra. I definitely want ad-free but I'm not sure about Ultra and so I'm not getting either until I can make that decision to avoid throwing $20 down a hole.

I love the app!

For some reason when refreshing all hidden posts become unhidden. I'm not sure if that's a setting or a bug.

[โ€“] focalors@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only bug I may notice is the "hide read" feature. After refreshing the page, the hidden posts reappear. I don't know if this also happened back in Reddit Sync or not

Huh. I swear ad removal was $13 yesterday. Did that change? $20 is quite an increase over that

I'm really enjoying using the app, it's running very smoothly for me.

[โ€“] Smultie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any way to import settings from the old Sync (the Reddit one)?

[โ€“] youthinkyouknowme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you have the backup file, just load it up on the lemmy app. Worked without issues here.

Please add regional pricing. It's currently โ‚บ650 to remove ads. Considering Forza Horizon 5, a triple A title that costs $60 normally is priced at โ‚บ600, the current pricing is just too much for anything but the NA and EU.
