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

[–] Rossel 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, he didnt have that option when I first installed it. Went ahead and grabbed that.

[–] bazo 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There's the remove ads option, which is not a subscription to anything. It's $20.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah if you just click 'remove ads' on the sidebar it's $20 for lifetime I believe

[–] karlthemailman 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Same here. The latest update has the "remove ads" option added for a one time 12.99 fee.

Wtf why does mine say €21.99???

It feels so random.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Are you sure that's not the lifetime for ultra? There's a new one time "remove ads" option.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] karlthemailman 1 points 1 year ago

Wow. I hope that's some sort of mistake.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It's $99 USD, think you all are seeing a bug.

Edit: I misunderstood which option was being discussed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$99 is the lifetime 'ultra' subscription, there's a separate 'no ads' IAP added to a more recent beta

[–] can 2 points 1 year ago

They're talking about AUD

[–] tja 1 points 1 year ago

Wrong country?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Not seeing it, I just see an Ultra subscription, where is the one time no ad option?

[–] karlthemailman 3 points 1 year ago

Make sure you update the app. It just showed up for me about an hour ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just found it, scroll to the top and click the Lemmy logo top left, under account switcher and above sync ultra

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Its not about the money but about the software freedom and source transparency

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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
