Just downloaded and holy crap, this thing is smooth as butter. Already more functional than that $115 closed-source alternative. Instant switch for me.

It has that many features since it's a fork of Infinity for Reddit which was/still is the most feature rich Reddit client

Sync is a fork of Infinity? Wow, I didn't know that.

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

No. Infinity for Lemmy is a fork of Infinity for Reddit. Sorry for the misunderstanding

[-] bluetoque@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Nope that's on me. Got it, thanks.

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

No it is absolutely not. Sync is its own app and has been developed by one person since its inception, both the reddit and the Lemmy version.

[-] greendakota99@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Is $115 an exaggeration? Not trying to start an argument, just curious.

[-] ante@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

The Sync dev is currently charging $20 USD to remove ads, or $100 for a lifetime subscription to "Ultra" which includes some additional features. I have to say, the app is really nice, but the dev is out of his mind.

[-] greendakota99@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Wow yeah $100 is steep. I’m not even sure if I would have paid $100 for Apollo for Reddit in its prime…

[-] abadadc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

And there are more pricing models to come, confirmed by the dev already.

And also, get this.... it's FREE to use. No one is forcing any money out of your pocket.

[-] ante@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Your passive-aggressiveness is very off-putting.

With that being said, it's not FREE to use if I'm getting ads, I'm just paying with something other than money. I'll continue to use one of the many alternatives.

So are heaps of other apps that gasp DO NOT HAVE ADS
