That was the case with the original Sync, no surprise here.

Although there was the option to purchase Pro as a one-time fee. This one unfortunately only has a subscription option (which I’m not too keen on).

Edit: ljdawson has confirmed there will be an one-time payment options for both Ultra and ad removal!

Screw subscriptions. They’re invariably a rip off and I’m not made of money.

Same… I rarely buy apps. I’m definitely not subscribing to something.

Technically, they could be fair but they’re just always extremely overpriced. If you buy an app for $5 and use it for 5 years, it comes out at 8 cents a month. You’ll never find an app subscription that costs you 8 cents a month, but that would be a fair deal.

Afaik a one-time-purchase to get rid of the ads is planned.

Do you happen to have a source? This is what I’m hoping for.

It’ll probably have a one time fee option. The dev must know that not everyone will want to pay a subscription. I paid for removing ads on Sync for Reddit and I’ll happily do it again, so hopefully there will be an option of just removing ads. I don’t use either Lemmy or Reddit enough to justify paying a subscription, even though I really respect the dev.

While I’ve never used this app, it seems like there are so many good quality free/open source Lemmy apps now that an app with ads and subscriptions doesn’t really make sense.

there will be an option to buy an ad-free version in the future (IAP).
