Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder, Liftoff, Combustible and Eternity all don't have ads
Because people donated their time to make them. You can't blame anyone for not doing that.
There are free pc games as well, and paid ones. Free movies, and paid ones. Heck you can probably get a car for free, but most people prefer to pay for one. You can use the free apps all you want.
I've used them all and even considered staying with voyager. But after one hour of using boost I uninstalled all of them.
I worked my way through just about every Reddit client available for Android and Boost was the only one that wasn't super annoying. I'm happy to support development of an app that I use every day, especially if it wouldn't be available at all otherwise.
I tried the same argument here. Don’t bother. They don’t want to see it.
