With the highest one time payment for ad removal and a subscription service for extra features. No thanks, but enjoy it please.

You don’t have to pay for it or use the app. I happily payed for (imo) the best App out there.

Every now and then a post with a question like this pops up on lemmy and I wonder if the Sync company has anything to do with it, because Sync always gets to be the most mentioned answer. It is beyond me why anyone would use an app that pushes ads on you while browsing content from a website that doesn’t have any…

I use it, I’m not paid to say this.

ljdawson and rmayayo did great work on their apps, and I purchased both of their apps.

Making software is not easy. I’m a software developer, too. I’m very happy that there is a paid version without ads, I definitely wouldn’t use them if I had to use the version with ads.

In my experience, they both provide superior experiences that are both familiar to people and well integrated into Android, especially Sync. Boost has more features however.

If you’re looking for a FOSS app, Connect is the next best thing IMO.

I’m currently using the free version. I had the paid version for Reddit, but just haven’t purchased the Lemmy version yet.

The ads are really unintrusive though. I think it’s one ad every time you reload the feed, about four posts down or so. After that, I think there’s no more ads. It’s extremely minor, hence why I haven’t really felt like I needed to get around to purchasing it.

Anything that doesn’t make you pay to remove ads. That files in the face of what lemmy is about.

So no to Boost and Sync then. Though it’s a one-time payment and not a recurring subscription. However it’s ~3,75 for Boost and a whopping ~16,- for Sync to remove ads.

Plus Sync also has a subscription model which for me is an automatic -50 points.

That’s a no on both of those for me. There’s free aps that are every bit as good if not better.

I use sync and none of the ads work. They’re all just grey boxes with nothing in them.

Boost (the best social app ever) & Jerboa (simple, lightweight alternative).

Boost is too nosy.

And requires payment to remove ads. Fucking lame.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Boost is. It’s the only android Reddit app that I will acknowledge, and it’s the only client that got me into Lemmy.

Sync! It’s what I used on Reddit, and having it here made switching platforms so much smoother.
