Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.
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!

Game. Changer.
I live my life as FOSS-y as possible.
This is the only subscription that I have. $2/mo or $16/yr is not even a blip on most people’s radar.
The OG Sync was the most used app on my phone and tablet.
So download, enjoy, and pay the dev! He’s phenomenal, approachable, and transparent. This isn’t some Flappy Birds knockoff. This is a polished app that allows us to connect with one another more easily. And I’d like to see what features he comes up with next.
It takes a lot for me to trust an app/dev this much. Hopefully everybody else will too and we can help him do even more neat things.
It’s like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏
For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I’ve missed it a lot.
Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.
I know it’s early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that’s needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.
Hallelujah!
My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the “why” I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts “consent” whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the “legitimate” interest which is, let’s be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That’s put me right off in all honesty sorry.
Hard to describe how good it feels to have Sync back! Was worried the tablet experience would be left behind but it’s as smooth as ever. Thank you LJ! Instant subscription, absolutely no hesitation on that one.
My god, it’s actually like it used to be. Thank you a million times !ljdawson@lemmy.world <3
ALL HAIL SYNC FOR LEMMY
SYNC IS DEAD LONG LIVE SYNC

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but 22€ for the ads-free option sounds a bit expensive to me. I bought Sync Pro for reddit for 3€ in 2018.
The pricing is a bit much, especially compared to other services like Tutanota that actually runs servers and provides a service in addition to developing the applications. $20-$30 for the onetime purchase option would be more sane.
I know I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, but I know that was nowhere close to these prices.
EDIT: Found the Remove Ads option, and that is more reasonable priced.
Lol first post under the Sync announcement
Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn’t really what I want.
Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!
Oh my god it’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful.
Wow I can’t believe how much smoother Sync is than other Lemmy clients!
Feel just like sync for Reddit :D
Thank you!
On another note will there be the option to purchase sync like it was for sync for Reddit?
