I’ve registered for the app already. Every day I check Google Play for available app updates. I’ll see a notification that there are several apps with updates available… but it’s never Boost… such disappointment every time. Haha!

In all honesty, I can’t wait for the app to come out. Take your time, do it right. And don’t do what Sync did… I’ll just leave it at that.

I used to use Boost for Reddit a few years back. I’ve paid for a year of Sync Ultra but I’ll still check out Boost when it releases.

Why a year and not a month? Or just free?

I used Sync for years and decided to do it as a way to show my appreciation to the dev.

It’s completely fine if we go past tonight and end up in september. I think we all just want a good app. Out of curiosity I think I speak for a lot of us when I ask how everything is going and if it’s coming now or if we should expect it to release one or two weeks into september? Thanks in advance my man!

The main development is finished. I want to publish it asap but I keep finding some bugs :( My plan is to upload a beta next week.

Thanks for your patience!

That’s so nice to hear! Better squash some bugs and have a better release than not. Take your time. We will survive.

That sounds great! The endless bug hunt can get tiring, so thank you for going through that.

Be sure to take time for yourself too; I don’t think anyone here is going to bail if you take a bit more time for yourself :)

Awesome, what’s your plan with the subreddit for boost?

Personally, I wasn’t too worried by the pricing model of Sync, and I’m usually tight AF - I think post- the great 3rd party client purge of Reddit it’s clear to me just how much value they brought to my browsing experience, so I’m happy to support the developers.

I think people who say these apps already exist and it’s just a case of porting to the Lemmy APIs are massively underestimating the actual amount of work involved to do these apps justice on Lemmy. £20 or so to support the developer and gain an ad-free experience seems entirely fair to me!

Same here. I’m still on the free version of Sync because I’m holding out for boost, but if it takes a few more months I’ll definitely need to drop for a lifetime of sync. I NEVER spend money on apps, but boost I bought twice and I absolutely will again.
