Even the beta version is more usable and way faster than other released apps. Incredible!

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

Yup, paid for the add removal from the get. Love Boost.

The only downside for me is the ad trackers. If those get disabled when we pay for no ads, then it would be perfect

Not saying that doesn't happen, I just don't know...

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

This is an interesting question. Maybe Ruben can answer? Or Google it and see what other apps have to say.

Something I wish back on Boost for Reddit was a separate free app and a paid separate app without ads and trackers, but it's something Google apparently doesn't allow anymore. Reddit is fun was able to have reddit is fun gold because they had the separate app before the rules went into affect.

Damn, that's sad, I love when they make the separate since usually I can put the paid app on my family library.

It doesnt appear to be released for Android yet. Why you gotta get my hopes up...

[โ€“] trollblox_@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you have to click the link the dev sent on the pinned post in order to be able to access it

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

Thanks, I had only checked the store. Didnt realize it was an early access thing

[โ€“] FabulousAardvark@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate to say it, but I'm on Android and using Boost right now...... Have you checked the community, there is some good info on how to get access to the Beta

Average proprietary software user

More like I'm too old and burnt out for this bullshit. At this point in my life, I just want a simple solution. Privacy is dead anyway.

I guess I'm the guy in the yellow shirt still looking for a /kbin app.

I've been using the Photon front-end on both desktop, and mobile, pretty much since it became available on this instance, after trying a dozen different mobile apps, that weren't an obvious 3-day hack, just to fill the niche. Boost is superior than all of them, combined, without any exaggeration

Connect is my jam

It's been so long that I'm fused to Liftoff. I don't want to readapt to something new now ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Maybe if I knew more about what features it has that Liftoff doesn't I could be coaxed into it.

[โ€“] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely relate.

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

An instant switch. All of my muscle memory is coming back to me now.

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

Does Boost have a desktop app? That would be dope.

[โ€“] singularity@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The Android app works well when installed on Windows (Windows Subsystem for Android).

I felt sad when I uninstalled Voyager.
