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.

[-] Ado@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

No shit. Thanks Mr obvious. Lol

Seriously? Do you know what time is?
At the time the app had just released and I didn't know there were ads in the app. As time went on I found out there are ads in the AP. That's what the first edit is. In fact I even told you why I asked in the edit.

Fast forward to long after all of this happened, and you come strolling in "I can't read and don't understand series of events so I'm going to chime in with a dumb question"

[-] crossal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I guess I'm more so questioning your "no shit" comment then. Seems like it was shit

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You guess? You don't even know why you're talking? Lol aren't you just the brightest bulb in the box.

Have a good one.

[-] ChoadPuncher@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The hostility is a little unnecessary.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm sorry, can't help it when people are so blatantly stupid. They came in wanting to argue, that's on them.

[-] crossal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seems like you may be the dense one

[-] AwakenedLink@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years 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.

[-] NotThatBeerdy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

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

On my first few runs I didn't see any ads and was honestly confused about that. But I just now opened the app and I see a block that says "Sponsored content" with nothing filled in, so I assume that's where the ads would normally show up. I'd estimate it's showing up once every 10 or so posts in my feed.

[-] hempster@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

Please bring the lifetime option!

[-] can@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

He already did it a few hours ago.

[-] hempster@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Just saw and subscribed.

[-] StupidGenius@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Refund approved.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago
[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] edoorklep@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Awesome! Thanks for the great work!

[-] gunnm@monero.town 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks a lot for this best client so far.

[-] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] chuckd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[-] Duxon@feddit.de 4 points 2 years 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!

[-] ruffsl@programming.dev 4 points 2 years 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,

[-] dogebread@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The hard work is so appreciated.

[-] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] chetradley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years 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.

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] intrinity1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Rossel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] brokenjumper@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] settoloki@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Kadath 1 points 2 years ago

Immediately subscribed to Ultra, thank you!

[-] Tramort@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

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