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
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.
contains adds
contains in-app purchases
collects data
shares data with 3d party orgs
Nothing against sync, but this is not what I’d expect from lemmy app tbh. There’s a lot of free open source options that don’t sell your data.
Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

Tell me you’ve never paid for a service, without telling me you’ve never paid for a service
Sync does not sell user data. It uses only the basic prerequisites for an ad service Settings shortcut: Privacy > Privacy policy
If an independent developer, who has worked on an app for 10 years, and has had their work ruined by a greedy company, turns around and makes an app for an entirely new community, within a month of losing his main source of revenue, and it’s as polished, smooth, and user-friendly as can be, doesn’t deserve to put food on the table, then quite simply, you’re incredibly misinformed.
