Because you know what sync provides and why it’s worth spending money on it. I get these arguments and they are valid but no one forces anyone to use an app. You can just ignore it. I also prefer open source apps and don’t like subscriptions but I bought the Ultra even if I just want to remove the ads. Also the price is not that big so i think of it as a donation.
It’s a nice app, but so is Jerboa, which does not have ads. If there was a one-time ad-free purchase; I would strongly consider it; but I’m not going to pay a subscription to avoid ads on an already ad-free website.
This is also the dev that got really hurt over his paying customers not liking when he completely changed the app they paid for under their nose with no option to roll back, and quit pushing updates for a while after that. It was a whole thing.
I’m not paying a dev that can’t handle feedback and has an entire fanclub cheering on literally every single decision.
The dev don’t want to charge money while the app is still buggy. The subscription option is there for the die hard fans who keep pestering him to let them send their money
This right here. I had ultra for reddit and was paying monthly out of my Google rewards earnings. I’m going to do the same again.
I’m never surprised by the lack of understanding as to what it actually costs to run the servers and the time that goes into services and apps like this.
Haha I was the same and didn’t know what to do with myself when I deleted the other app when the blackouts started. Like I would take my phone out, stare at it for a few seconds and put it away again.
Anyway I found other things to do instead of Reddit, and now I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to get Sync again lol. I’ve done so well!

Glad to hear 👍
Edit image for those who are curious:
How is it “in the works”? It’s not hard to implement, seeing as how he already did it.
And no timeline when it’s coming just a promise it will?
Sounds more like he just wants to test the waters and see what he can make.
Because he prioritized his time in getting the application usable rather than implementing various tiers of payments instead.
One of the messages to the discord this morning seems to indicate he’s planning on adding the one time ad-free unlock today.

I believe the developer is working on a one-time payment Pro version that removes ads. Ultra has additional features for a subscription fee.
It’s out now. $20. No thanks.
I bought it. I want to support LJ. He’s doing a great job and really got shafted by reddit.
I like sync and spend most of my phone screen time on it so I’m all for buying lj a case of beer once a year.

idk man 530 TRY is kinda not that small of a donation
