Contains ads

ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

I’m fine with an ad version and then an upgrade to an ad-free version.

What’s insane here is this developer making a subscription service instead of an ad-free pro version

I mean, he’s competing against TOTALLY FREE, Ad-free lemmy apps RIGHT NOW, and every 3rd-party Reddit app developer is working on a lemmy version as we speak.

This was a total clown move. I was ready to drop like $10 on a pro version right now, if it had great UI. But a subscription … For access to a FREE service? The balls on this guy.

an ad free version or pro version is coming soon when it’s out of beta phase…sub version was released to cover dev cost and because most of us are eager to use the app…LJ caved in and released it early for us because we would like to use it ahead of schedule and we’re willing to pay for ultra…

Should update that subscription page in the app with the disclaimer. ‘App is in beta and there will be a one time payment option to remove ads once it gets out of beta’. Since right now the subscription only model to remove ads is leading to bad impressions that is drawing attention away from the actual app.

Especially on Android where not a lot of people encounter subscription models, and this is the first of its kind I’ve encountered on Android.
