Contains ads

m-p{3}That was the case with the original Sync, no surprise here.
ijeffAlthough there was the option to purchase Pro as a one-time fee. This one unfortunately only has a subscription option (which I’m not too keen on).
starlingukScrew subscriptions. They're invariably a rip off and I'm not made of money.
Same… I rarely buy apps. I’m definitely not subscribing to something.
And not to an app to browse a social network, when there’s free alternatives without ads
I am in the same boat. Bought RIF years ago and there are a couple of other apps I got as a one time purchase but subscriptions mostly make me delete an app immediately. Stuff like Spotify or Netflix are exceptions of course but those apps are just the gateway to a paid service. Sync doesn’t have to pay money on an ongoing basis to Lemmy. It’s straight up a purchase tomorrow the developer for an app.
Not too concerned though, I use Voyager at the moment and it’s just such a great way to browse Lemmy, I have no problem sticking with it!
Technically, they could be fair but they’re just always extremely overpriced. If you buy an app for $5 and use it for 5 years, it comes out at 8 cents a month. You’ll never find an app subscription that costs you 8 cents a month, but that would be a fair deal.
It’ll probably have a one time fee option. The dev must know that not everyone will want to pay a subscription. I paid for removing ads on Sync for Reddit and I’ll happily do it again, so hopefully there will be an option of just removing ads.
This is what I’m hoping for!
Afaik a one-time-purchase to get rid of the ads is planned.
Do you happen to have a source? This is what I’m hoping for.
Yes, according to ljdawson on discord, lifetime ultra will be coming back. Not sure about pro though
I’m thinking more the ad-free pro option, rather than the Ultra.
It’s on Sync’s discord
there will be an option to buy an ad-free version in the future (IAP).
The future is now.
While I’ve never used this app, it seems like there are so many good quality free/open source Lemmy apps now that an app with ads and subscriptions doesn’t really make sense.
