Yes it contains ads. I'd rather have a single purchase.

But, DNS adblocking does remove the ads, just leave a grey box. It's also definitely far more polished than any of the other Lemmy apps right now.

Oh I thought it wasn't implemented. I forgot I have dns ad blocking :) :)

But this app is worth paying for if you like it. It's also very cheap, something like 3 dollars or less per month.

Haha yes me too. I thought "hmm guess he hasn't quite implemented that yet" but of course I have DNS AdBlock. Nice to know that works (:

It's $1.99/month or $16.99/yr, which is waaayyy less than $3/month. Less than half that, if paid annually.

I personally just don't believe in subscriptions for apps. I'd rather just pay a fair amount up front. Especially since my usage patterns aren't consistent (I may not use something for a good while but return to it later). Perpetual licenses are why I own such a large library of paid apps and why I'm okay with paying even if I might not really maximize my use of it today. It's also why my Steam library is filled with games I don't play... πŸ˜….

You also need to have the Google Play Services spyware on your phone which many of us don't.

Beta update released within the last hour adds the option for lifetime ad removal.

[–] haych@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Time to update!

[–] faintedheart@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't even have any grey boxes either. Where does the ad appear in the app?

I don't know why. I don't have anything like that. πŸ˜… I had been using sync pro for reddit. I have a similar look here. I am running adguard dns private dns for adblock. But it never removed the ad spaces in any app.

Yeah I don't even see ad spaces. I don't think it is because of dns adguard. It never removed ad spaces. Just the ads. But right now I am having a clean experience with no ads or stuff.
