Installed Sync as soon as I could, but went back to Jerboa for now due to lack of a one-time purchase option. Not a fan of subscriptions, I need less of those in my life.

Congrats on being first to market out of the other polished Reddit apps who are switching - I hadn't used Sync before (I used RIF, Joey and then most recently Boost) but now I'm committed to Lemmy and already loving this experience!
Thank you!!
Typing this from Sync for Lemmy. Love it already! Feels right at home.
I do not mind the subscription costs for the premium version. Yes, in a perfect world a lifetime purchase would be nice. But this isn't a perfect world. Lemmy isn't a casual game that can be considered "done" once it's developed. No, Lemmy and the Fediverse are new and unfamiliar and it is likely there will be significant chances to the ecosystem and this development effort for the developer.

Looks good so far. Wish there was a way to copy my old Reddit settings to this one. All that muscle memory I'll have to relearn ๐

Let me buy this one time please.
Just a Incredible app It Feel like being back home again and Man Do I miss it. Plus it dodo all over reddit official app and it's just in beta :)
Works like a charm !
I guess I'll be spending a lot more time on Lemmy now. It's like sync never went away สโฟส
This looks like a great app, but the premium subscription model seems really lame. I'm so tired of everyone indefinitely milking users with monthly fees. My last reddit app was a one-time fee, and I was happy to pay that.
So I think there's a one-time fee to remove ads in the next release. Someone said we're just waiting on the google play approval process.
FWIW though, the amount of usage I got out of sync for Reddit, I'm happy to throw the dev some money for a while if it keeps development going. Nice to know I'll be able to switch to non-subscription if I ever want to though

Works pretty damn good if you ask me. I feel like I'm using Reddit again ๐
hell ya! just installed!
Let's go! First post using sync! Hands down the best client when it came to reddit.
I've tried literally all of them. ALL OF THEM.
For the reddit clients, they came and went, but sync stayed on my phone and I always eventually came back to it. If that's not testament of a phenomenal app I don't know what is. The competition for the lemmy clients is honestly hotter than I expected but sync remains on top. None so far match the level of fluidity, customizability, and polish sync has.
My usage of lemmy went up by 5x today because of this. $99 feels pretty steep, but eh. Add it to the pile. Pretty sure it's over $300 at this point 7 years in. Lol.
To the years of mobile lemmy browsing ahead.
It looks and feels amazing. Thank you for this!
Looks nice and all, but what are those "Sponsored Content" blocks for? Is there going to be Ads soon?
