Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone
Sync for Lemmy - Apps on Google Play
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!

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.
Probably the ads placed in the app to help pay for development costs of creating a free app.
No shit. Thanks Mr obvious. Lol
Why'd you ask?
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"
I guess I'm more so questioning your "no shit" comment then. Seems like it was shit
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.
You're welcome!
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.
I wasn't aware there were ads on the app when I first commented.
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.
The ones in the app
So far I saw ads only on the 'slide' view
Please bring the lifetime option!
He already did it a few hours ago.
Just saw and subscribed.
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?
Definitely
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.
Refund approved.
Excellent! Thanks for this update and a great first release! Hopefully mod tools are also in the pipeline :).
Definitely
Excellent! As an aside, I scrolled the instance list for an embarrassingly long time looking for lemdro.id 😅.
If you have time come join us on discord. I'd really value mod input how to improve sync:
Sure thing! I've joined up - just let me know which channel I should be paying attention to :).
Never used your app before. Very impressed. You'll be getting my money.
Awesome! Thanks for the great work!
Thanks a lot for this best client so far.
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!
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,
Cheers! 🍻
Thank you!
Please get a lifetime option on there. Loved sync and immediately love it again (sorry Connect).
But I do hate subscriptions ¯(ツ)/¯
Completely understand you having them though
The hard work is so appreciated.
Thanks for bringing my favorite app back to my phone! Just wondering on the timeline for the lifetime option to remove ads. If it makes sense I might subscribe for a month of ultra.
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.
If you're using the same Google account it should restore on both
Immediately looked for a lifetime option, looking forward to it!
Thank you! We appreciate your hard work 👍
You're my hero right now, sir. Sync has been missing from my life for too long!
Congrats, please buy yourself a beer with my sub money!
You're a legend! It's good to be back home.
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.
So happy to see you are back and active. Thank you!
Amazing to be back. Congratulations! I will instabuy Lifetime Pro and Lifetime Ultra. Even if it's a hundred bucks together. I want to support you again but I hate subscriptions.
Feels good to be using sync again. Hurry up with the lifetime one so I can give you my money!
