Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads. - lemm.ee

I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store. Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

I have tried a couple different apps but Liftoff is the best so far. Quite disappointed in the direction Sync is taking. Developpers obviously have a right to be paid for their work, but I despise the choice of targeted ads or subscription based software.

So both ways for someone to be paid?

Would you agree to buying one version with no updates (except for bug fixes) ?

I would. Is it a perfect model? No. Is it better than ads or a monthly subscription? Absolutely!
Sync just added an option for that.
no they didnt.
Sync has a lifetime ad free option. That removes the Google tracking as well, since it’s tied to ads. Subscription it for extra features you probably dont need. Based on comments about reddit sync, it also doesn’t track usage statistics. But that is mostly a guess from my side.
