Itβs free. Itβs only on google play. The 20$ is to get rid of ads forever. Thereβs also a subscription model which Iβm not a fan of but it only costs 17$/year.
Iβm a sync user and I love sync because of the customisation and the UI. It was pretty much my perfect reddit app.
Why pay money for an app when thereβs tens of apps which do the exact same thing but donβt include ads in the first place?
Pepsi, Coke, or Budget no-name cola? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? Sometimes itβs a personal preference.
I like the UX of Sync. Iβve made QOL feature requests in the past and theyβve been implemented. For an early beta, itβs extremely well polished. I can afford to support the developer for a quality app, so I do.
I can certainly see the merits of each app, and have used a few of them. I just prefer Sync.
But thatβs me. It should have no bearing on what you or anyone else uses.
People act like theyβre being forced to use Sync when there are decent alternatives. Sync just happens to currently have the best layout/user interface with tons of customisation.
Whether or not thatβs worth paying money for is up to each individual but I canβt stand the constant complaining. Either deal with ads or donβt use it if you donβt like it π
To me, itβs because the app is so polished and customizable. Other apps donβt really come close yet, but they might soon.
