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.

$20 is to much imo. I would gladly pay 10, but for 10 more might as well stick with my DNS block.
I never used sync for Reddit, I was (and remain in my heart) a die hard RIF user. I appreciate the work you've done so much and more than ANYTHING the ability to have multiple columns again. It's sync for me now.
The app crashes every time I try to select an account or try to login. On some occasions I do manage to login but my feeds and communities are empty.
Also, $30 CAD for ad removal? Sorry but that's too much for me.
It's such a pleasure to be back, it's a wonderful app.
Can't thank you enough.
Pricing: I'll be happy to contribute (hell, I even have some Google survey credit rotting there), but honestly the current price is too high, and I don't mind a few ads. My opinion is that with a price point around 5 โฌ / year you could have a lot more people jumping in to remove ads, or at least it would be fine for me.
A few things I've encountered so far:
-
I can't submit/post anything. Is this normal? https://imgur.com/pHeOIm5
-
It would be nice to be able to have settings apply app-wide and not be user-specific. It's workaroundable with backing up settings through one account and restoring from the second one but a native solution would be nice to have.
-
Hidden posts only seem to apply to the feed and not carry over when viewing specific communities.
-
Didn't find any way to search comments.
-
Not receiving any notifications.
Splurging $20 on a Lemmy app with my country's currency devaluation is not going to work for me. Nothing against you or the app, the app is amazing and leagues ahead of the competition. But I'm not even sure if Lemmy will be the replacement for Reddit and how it'll all pan out after the hype wears off, so I'm going to wait for regional pricing for this one.
Are there any plans to re-implenent the "Sync" feature that the Reddit app had?
Just curious because I need my offline reading!
Incredible work. It's amazing having this app come with us.
Thank you for this ๐๐
I hope the negative posts aren't too discouraging; some of the foss community here seems to be oddly toxic. If you don't like it, don't pay for it.
It's so nice to have this app back!
One quick thing, comment threads can appear out of order when using "top" as the sorting mechanism instead of "hot"
You tend to see child comment chains detached from their parents.
LJ! So happy to have Sync back. I'll happily pay for ad-free. It feels silky smooth so far. I don't see any bug reporting available in the app; should we just do it here? If so, I've noticed that "sort by top" in the comments sometimes will chop off the first comment.

That one's already logged on GitHub actually
Installed and could immediately tell it was a great app. I just bought Ultra Lifetime.
My request would be the ability to collapse comments and to be able to promote certain post options buried in the menu to a button (like bookmark), namely, I use "hide post" a lot, and would like to choose to access it without having to drill into the menu. I recognize others might use other post options more frequently (like share or something), so it would be nice to make that configurable.
Thanks for a great app!! ๐
Edit: thanks to some helpful replies, I now know that I can collapse comments by long pressing on them, and I can hide posts quickly by swiping them to the left!
Any chance there will be a separate Sync for Lemmy Pro app available? I'd prefer this method as I had with Sync for Reddit Pro instead of the in-app purchase.
- I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks
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.
Thank you for Sync! I'm very happy with the experience so far!
One of the best polished apps for Android ever, and certainly the best for Lemmy.
Happily paying for Ultra :-).
If I may give a tiny bit of criticism: I can't find a way view or set comment language. Is that expected?
Are you going to implement a discount on ultras lifetime subscription if a user has already paid for ad removal?
Just want to say amazing app. It's so polished! I'll be using Lemmy much more. I came from boost on Android. I don't see the value in the ad free version yet but glad there are tiered options.
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.
Your app is amazing. Take all of my money, please
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 โ 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.
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.
Thank you for your services during the Reddit "era"!
