Tap the account switcher in the top left corner and you should see the option.

See my comment for a screenshot. I don't know why I can't seem to post a screenshot in the body of post. Every time I try it gets removed.

Where are the ads, anyway? I don't think Ive seen a single ad yet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They're spread out nicely and are just simple picture ads that aren't trying to grab your attention.

In Israel it's $100 for lifetime!!! This shit is insane lol what the fuck?!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's for ultra. (and it's pretty much the same price everywhere) If you just want the ad-free version it should be ~$20. Tap the profile icon in the top left corner, then "remove ads".

Happily, thank you for not forcing a subscription model!

I wish ljd would do regional pricing. There are parts of the world where $20 is prohibitively expensive.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I fully recognize I'm in a position of relative privilege, but I am more than happy paying an annual subscription of <$20 for an app like this.

Building an app of this quality with this level of polish is a massive time investment, and I'm more than happy to reward that time with less money per year than I spent doordashing lunch this afternoon because I was too lazy to make myself a sandwich.

Really slick and professional looking app but, you gotta make price adjustments for the purchasing power. Especially for the ad removal option. My income and ad revenues you will be getting from me are way less than that of the US and EU users.

god, honestly this has kinda turned me off even trying sync at all. liftoff works fine, and these devs are neither asking me for money, nor showing me advertisements.

i sincerely hope no one is out here thinking they’re gonna earn a living with an unofficial-app for a fledgling social media service, for which there currently exists no fewer than ELEVEN other fully featured apps in the google play store.

And that's a perfectly fine and respectable position to have. In the mean time, I'm gonna go find where I can enter my credit card

I would probably buy premium if it was $20 but $99 is way too high.

And $20 just to remove ads is also a lot, at least for me. I have a dns level ad blocker and it's needed these days in the extreamly hostile user environment we exist in.

Will there be a premium app in the store? I recall the reddit version with IAP periodically having issues with purchases not being recognized. I'd rather spend my money on that then.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Google doesn't permit multiple versions of the same app anymore plus the dev already fixed that issue 1 year ago
