Thank you for the quick turn around on removing ads
Thank you for the quick turn around on removing ads
As I said, love Sync, paid immediately to remove ads. Keep up the amazing work my dude.
You're viewing a single thread.
Before I spend money (15 eur is not cheap, but is worth it for this app, imo), I want to know if it's not just a visual ad removal but the data collection and all the tracking gets actually disabled. I don't want to pay for ad removal. I want to pay to keep my data mine.
It says €19 here. (a year!!) No offence for the dev. But I fucking hate subscription based services. I really wanted to support the dev and have an ad free experience. But this is imo a bridge too far. I hope many people support him. But count me out.. Sorry.
There is a new option to remove ads forever for 15. No subscriptions.
Perfect. This solves my only issue.
That was many people's only issue :)
Where is this new option?
On beta 25 it's on the drawer, between Settings and Get Ultra menus. A new Remove ads button
It's £19 here.
It might not be appearing. Make sure the app is up to date.
The option to just remove ads is a little ways under the account switcher, not where you usually buy Sync Ultra.
It does appear, it's £19.
Welp, for me in Portugal it shows up as 23€....
I remember the good days when I bought Sync Pro for 2,69€...
I'm seeing AUD$
35$33.99.I paid AUD$1.91 ten years ago for "reddit sync pro" (I believe it was on sale).
I was expecting to pay around $10-$15 to block ads, so this is a bit of a shock.
Are you sure you are on beta 25? It shows me 15 eur when clicking "remove ads", not get ultra
I didn't see the option at all last night. This morning the app updated, and now I see the remove ads option.
An insane amount of money to remove ads. Guess I'm going to keep using Liftoff.
Connect is free and fantastic, and the dev(s) are adding new features regularly. I'm a bit torn, as I loved Sync for Reddit and was happy to give my money again for Sync for Lemmy - just not quite that much of it.
Maybe give Summit a try. It's similar to Sync, but ad free.
Damn, kangaroo dollars are cheap...
It's showing £18.99 for me, which is a lot. I thought it was going to be like £2.99!
@El_Rocha
It was already ridiculous an hour ago when it was priced at 16€ (compared to $12 everywhere else).
I want to support the app but 23€ in our economy is simply ludicrous.Exactly. I hope this is an experimental price. Otherwise, I'll have to drop this app.
I'm on the same boat here, bought pro at the time was would gladly buy the ad removal here but 23€ is just a big no.
I bought Sync Pro for that.. almost 10 years ago. IMO a polished Lemmy app with that many years of experience and tune-up is worth more than the original price.
Max €10 imo. Even that is on the high side just to remove ads. But that is something I would be willing to pay. And only because I know it is a good app. New customers will never even pay €10.
The developer is full time dedicated to development of this app. We are his income. People can't stand the idea of paying for the things they use. Get over yourselves. You pay $70 for a video game you play for 20 hours but less than 1/3 the price for something you use every day for years and suddenly that's way too much money. If you don't want it don't buy it. Nobody is making you.
Exactly. Nobody is making me and I won't. But we are at a place of discussion here, so I guess I can add my perspective. It is a lot of money just to remove ads. You can't deny that. I'm just wishing him the best of luck selling it to new users for that price. The only users that will buy it for that price are the reddit sync fans.
I feel that 2 Euro per month for something I use that much isn't really that bad of a deal. But I just want to support Lemmy and the developers that make this all happen. I also did some donations to other devs (Alexandrite this month) but Sync is the most polished and feature-rich app by far imo.
Caralho! Are you clicking Get Ultra or Remove Ads?
Remove ads... Ultra is 18,99€ per year.
Portugal tax then, I guess
Yep, the ad sdk doesn't even initialize if you've paid to remove ads
How do you know? You aren't lj :)
The dev himself said so
Link? Cite ur sources pls
Lol it was a discord screenshot that I saw posted in a comment section in this sub several hours ago, go knock yourself out looking for it
Sick, thanks!
Confirming this is the case.
This is exactly why I haven't downloaded it - I was looking forward to Sync for Lemmy, and I've been using Connect in the meantime. But Connect doesn't collect any data, according to Google Play, and Sync does. I'm on the fence about paying to keep my data my own, at this point.
If the ads sdk is not initialized for the paid version, and no data is collected, then there is no issue.
Except for data shared in the moments before I purchase, sure. Which is what leaves me on the fence, to be honest. Hopefully there will be more info about how this is handled soon.
Sure, but you can do a GDPR request to delete it, if you are an EU resident
I wish I could, but I'm in the US. And on the Google Play store it says data can't be deleted, so I'm assuming that since I'm not in the EU, there will be no leniency for me. The more I think about it, the less I want to deal with it, personally. With that being said, I recognize that not everyone will agree with me, and of course that's perfectly fine.
Permanently Deleted
It's complicated due to newer play store policies
Google again. Of course.
₹2000 here.
