Sync is fucking fantastic, just how I remember. I don't mind at all paying for a great app by a talented dev.
The pro version is supposed to be out later, and will just be a one-time payment unlike ultra's subscription
The lifetime purchase to remove ads is up. It's a bit pricey but I can understand why, Lemmy has a smaller userbase. Totally worth it.
I wonder if it was because of the backlash from being subscription only? I was surprised by how many angry posts there were. I gotta admit even I was disappointed. I don't mind paying for a pro version. But a subscriptions a bit of an ask, as I don't need the features offered by it, but I do like sync and Lawrence is a good guy.
No ads for 20 bucks isn't bad as an alternative if you don't need the features
Yeah, he didnt have that option when I first installed it. Went ahead and grabbed that.
Are you talking about sync ultra or is there another ad free purchase? Ultra life time costs 120 usd, which is too much for me
There's the remove ads option, which is not a subscription to anything. It's $20.
They are talking about the remove ads option. It's a one time purchase just to remove ads with none of the additional features of the subscription. As I understand it.
Yeah if you just click 'remove ads' on the sidebar it's $20 for lifetime I believe
Same here. The latest update has the "remove ads" option added for a one time 12.99 fee.
15€ here.
Wtf why does mine say €21.99???
Same here in France 21.99€
€22.99 here 🙃
It feels so random.
About 20 EUR for me.
There are just as good apps that do not track for shit.
Plus not accounting for a previous purchase is a final nail in the coffin for me. Most likely impossible to implement, but still stings.
$34 dollarydoos here 🦘
Are you sure that's not the lifetime for ultra? There's a new one time "remove ads" option.
Yes I'm sure. Ultra is only available annually or monthly. Annually it's $28 here
Edit: I stand corrected. Just got the new update with ultra lifetime as an option. That's $170 though.
Wow. I hope that's some sort of mistake.
It's $99 USD, think you all are seeing a bug.
Edit: I misunderstood which option was being discussed.
$99 is the lifetime 'ultra' subscription, there's a separate 'no ads' IAP added to a more recent beta
They're talking about AUD
Wrong country?
Not seeing it, I just see an Ultra subscription, where is the one time no ad option?
Make sure you update the app. It just showed up for me about an hour ago.
I just found it, scroll to the top and click the Lemmy logo top left, under account switcher and above sync ultra
20 bucks here
Its not about the money but about the software freedom and source transparency
Same, I'm paying for the ultra subscription. But I understand if someone is using another app, Connect is pretty good. I'm just an old dog
