Hey everyone. Happy to finally get this out, it's been one busy month.

I'm looking to add a lifetime option for ultra & option to just remove ads. Keep in mind this is the first release, lots more to follow.

Cheers!

What ads are being removed?

Edit; oh God theres ads on the app?? I thought you were talking about ads somewhere on lemmy.

Edit again. Yes I now know there ads on the app. I thought the first edit made that clear. You can stop replying telling me there's ads on the app. I know this. Stop acting like reddit.

[โ€“] Ado@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably the ads placed in the app to help pay for development costs of creating a free app.

[โ€“] AwakenedLink@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Makes sense to have a free ad-supported tier, since not a lot of people will be okay with paying money to access an unproven platform.

[โ€“] NotThatBeerdy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The current version has ads in the feed if you haven't subscribed.

[โ€“] hempster@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please bring the lifetime option!

[โ€“] can@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He already did it a few hours ago.

[โ€“] hempster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Just saw and subscribed.

[โ€“] StupidGenius@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I subscribed to Ultra for a year to thank you for the development work on this. If I wanted to get the lifetime instead is there some way to refund the year and wait for lifetime?

You can try asking Google for a refund, I did that because I did ad-free lifetime before realizing there was an ultra lifetime. I suspect the sooner you do it after the purchase the better, though mine is still under review so we'll see. I also tried to make sure to explain that I was basically just trying to swap for a higher tier of product in the app as part of my refund request.

Refund approved.

Excellent! Thanks for this update and a great first release! Hopefully mod tools are also in the pipeline :).

Excellent! As an aside, I scrolled the instance list for an embarrassingly long time looking for lemdro.id ๐Ÿ˜….

If you have time come join us on discord. I'd really value mod input how to improve sync:

Sure thing! I've joined up - just let me know which channel I should be paying attention to :).

[โ€“] edoorklep@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Awesome! Thanks for the great work!

[โ€“] gunnm@monero.town 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks a lot for this best client so far.

Never used your app before. Very impressed. You'll be getting my money.

[โ€“] Duxon@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Cool! Gonna buy Ultra for a year and then switch to the ad-free version. That's all I can and want to afford. Thanks for your great work!

[โ€“] ruffsl@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much for your hard work and the terrific beta release!
Here's to the success of Lemmy, Sync for Lemmy, and the rest of the Fediverse,
Cheers! ๐Ÿป

The hard work is so appreciated.

[โ€“] lessthanthree@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you! We appreciate your hard work ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] chetradley@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Really excellent so far! I bought the lifetime ultra for SfR and I'll do it again for SfL! Especially if you bring back the comment restore function.

Congrats, please buy yourself a beer with my sub money!

[โ€“] intrinity1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Purchased Ultra on one phone and was hoping to use it on the other. Doesn't seem to sync up yet. Hopefully that's on the roadmap.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If you're using the same Google account it should restore on both

[โ€“] Rossel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

You're a legend! It's good to be back home.

Immediately looked for a lifetime option, looking forward to it!

[โ€“] Hexarei@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

You're my hero right now, sir. Sync has been missing from my life for too long!

[โ€“] JimmyRustler 2 points 1 year ago

Looking great so far, would definitely prefer lifetime/one off instead of subscription

[โ€“] Tramort@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

So happy to see you are back and active. Thank you!

[โ€“] settoloki@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Feels good to be using sync again. Hurry up with the lifetime one so I can give you my money!
