I use Sync but I haven’t paid for it. I turned off all the options in the cookie banner so all I see is a grey box where ads would be and you quickly just don’t even see it after a lot of use.
If it were a one off payment of like £5 I’d pay it, I bought it for Reddit, but I can’t justify the cost.
If you’re a really heavy user then it might be worth it but there’s so many great alternatives out there then I think it’s hard to justify.
You’re being down voted, but now you’ve got me legitimately curious…
Would anyone out there be able to explain what sort of additional features Sync has they makes it worth the price? I’ve been a Voyager (formerly weed) user practically since it was created and I think it’s a great experience.
Def check out Boost. I’ve used both and can’t find anything in sync to warrant the coat vs. Boost. That said, Boost is worth the cost for sure, and if Boost wasn’t an option, I’d consider sync.
Plenty of features. Last time I checked, it was on par, or better, with sync. As ad-supported freeware, sync just bas too many ads, which on my phone turns into endless black squares of blocked content.
You van support Connect with the usual buy-me-coffee thingy.
Voyager has been working great and the developer is very active.
This is my biggest problem with Sync. The dev regularly disappears for extended periods of time. It’s one of the reasons I have avoided dropping the money to get rid of the ads and pick up the lifetime ultra. If they were more communicative about what’s going on in the dev cycle, I think more people would be okay with it, but disappearing for months makes people frustrated and they come off rather entitled, which I’m certain frustrates the dev, and makes them not want to work on Sync, continuing the cycle.
I mean, I have no qualms with this, unless there are bugs and stuff waiting to be resolved. But I’ve not run into anything at all. I’m guessing the dev has other things going on in life and looking to make Sync sort of a passive income kind of project. I respect that. They might be working quite hard to make ends meet and do this in their spare time, however much that might be. I’d gladly drop the ad removal money if I thought the app was worth it. Which I’m starting to think. It was when it was for Reddit, but in those days it was cheaper.
Actually, there is one bug I’m experiencing. Ads will not load. There is just an empty square where an ad would be. But… I’m calling that a feature.
For me it’s that I don’t get ads in the first place. I always wondered what was up for that but the ads I’m supposed to get? Never showed up anywhere in Sync.
It’s weird and makes me think the app is poorly maintained
