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

    Beta 26 is already a MASSIVE improvement over Jerboa or the web client. Thanks for making this happen so fast!

    As for the pricing, I was a paid Sync for Reddit user for YEARS. $20 is nothing for the countless hours of scrolling I got out of it.

    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.

    I’ll repeat what I said in some other thread:

    I loved the old app, I still love the new app, it’s a pleasure to use compared to the alternatives I’ve tried, and I find the ultra subscription rate both reasonable and worthwhile to support a product I truly enjoy.

    Sync is good for me. There’s plenty of other options if it’s not good for you.

    Please keep up the good work!

    Please add regional pricing. It’s currently ₺650 to remove ads. Considering Forza Horizon 5, a triple A title that costs $60 normally is priced at ₺600, the current pricing is just too much for anything but the NA and EU.

    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 hear that, until then I don’t mind the ads. They don’t make me wait to see a post or hindering anything.

    I think this setting should be on by default if sidebar navigation is turned on. It’s a real game changer for this app in my opinion!

    Settings shortcut: Experimental > Sliding panel style drawer

    I haven’t found any issues with it despite it being experimental. The only downside is that I now want it in every app that isn’t Sync…

    Edit: If I can make a change request. Could the search bar in the side panel be made into a pill shape like in the bottom drawer? Would modernize the look quite nicely imo.

    Device information

    I’m a user of Sync for Reddit Pro. I hope we can have more price options to remove the ads starting from a lower amount. Let’s say, $5, $10, $20, $30 and maybe a custom amount (>$5). In this case those who are willing to pay $20 can remain to do so or even more but others can now support the developer by the amount they feel fit.

    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 – 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.
