Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required
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!

It's still amazing as a free app? You don't have to convince people to pay $20 unless they want to support the dev

I try Sync since it got released, so for the past 48 h, on and off without paying any money. I haven't had a single ad since then. I don't use any VPN or ad blocker on my phone. Don't know why that's the case. Maybe because I have the appearance set to list?

Anyway, I really like the app! It really feels the most polished app by a mile to me. Yet, Voyager (as of now "only" a web app) feels also pretty polished, it just has a lot less things in the settings I can tweak.

As a former RIF user (and I really never used anything else on my phone for Reddit) it still feels a bit weird to hop apps but at the end of the day that's the beauty of the Fediverse: there is just so much choice and if you like Sync enough you have plenty of ways to give money to the dev, just as there are ways to donate to devs of the other apps you like!

Sorry for the tangent!

True. The free version was fine. I tried it for a few hours. And when using list/compact view, I noticed I didn't even see any ads lol.

But figured I would pay anyways because I wanted to support.
