Sync is a perfectly fine app for me. I tried all other apps and nowhere near to sync. I don't even have ads on the free version as I am using dns ad blocker. The moment one time payment for removing ads is out(it is coming), I will buy it. Or I will donate to dev in some other way as I am not a fan of subscriptions.
I have the option to remove ads in Sync right now. =)
With subscription
Edit: nevermind, the one time purchase is up now!
And without. The update already provides the option to just Remove ads.
I bought the subscription for one year to support the developer. I hate subscriptions though. I can't see a one time purchase...
You gotta update the app. It's there now
they?
he.
there is 1 dev.
A very deserving dev
I used sync for reddit for so many years and paid $2... I just paid the ad removal price on the new app right away. Even if the app ends up sucking, i want to support the dev for all the previous work
I will definitely consider switching to FOSS option though
There's just nothing that comes even close to Sync for me. Happy to support the developer.
I've tried different reddit third party apps for months at a time, and I've got to say, Sync is probably the best app I have used in terms of designs and fluidity.
I do not have ads either....but no idea why I do not have an ad blocker, they just appear.empty for some reason.
Yeah they are empty on my phone too, and I've never used any DNS-adblocking on my home network. I suspect it might be because whatever ad system Sync uses currently just doesn't have any ads for my country, but I don't actually know.
It's the same in the US (for me at least) also, either it's not working just yet, or it's just a placeholder for now, you never know with pre-release apps.
Same I haven't seen a single ad. I'll probably pay to removed them anyways but I want to evaluate the competition first
What adblocker are you using?
I am using a private dns ad blocker. android phones have the option to change the dns server, I changed it to dns.adguard.com
Best option on Android: Netguard, the F-Droid-version. The Google Play Store version has no adblocking capability.
