Just downloaded and holy crap, this thing is smooth as butter. Already more functional than that $115 closed-source alternative. Instant switch for me.
It has that many features since it's a fork of Infinity for Reddit which was/still is the most feature rich Reddit client
Sync is a fork of Infinity? Wow, I didn't know that.
No. Infinity for Lemmy is a fork of Infinity for Reddit. Sorry for the misunderstanding
Nope that's on me. Got it, thanks.
No it is absolutely not. Sync is its own app and has been developed by one person since its inception, both the reddit and the Lemmy version.
@bluetoque @newIdentity time to download 🙂
Is $115 an exaggeration? Not trying to start an argument, just curious.
The Sync dev is currently charging $20 USD to remove ads, or $100 for a lifetime subscription to "Ultra" which includes some additional features. I have to say, the app is really nice, but the dev is out of his mind.
Wow yeah $100 is steep. I’m not even sure if I would have paid $100 for Apollo for Reddit in its prime…
And there are more pricing models to come, confirmed by the dev already.
And also, get this.... it's FREE to use. No one is forcing any money out of your pocket.
Your passive-aggressiveness is very off-putting.
With that being said, it's not FREE to use if I'm getting ads, I'm just paying with something other than money. I'll continue to use one of the many alternatives.
So are heaps of other apps that gasp DO NOT HAVE ADS
No lol
