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
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.
Will there be a pro version of this app? I would rather that as opposed to in app purchase which seems to bug out sometimes on the previous app
IIRC the Play Store has disallowed (or heavily favors against) "duplicate" apps.
The dev has stated that this exact bug was fixed over a year ago. As for this version of Sync, should still be fixed, but I will remind you and anyone else reading this, this release is a BETA. There will be bugs. It's getting a lot of attention in media, so that seems to be lost in translation so to speak, but it's still not officially fully released. :)
I paid to remove ads and support the developer because Sync is my favorite app for the past decade.
Having said that, I think the price is steep. I understand development has its cost and so I am more than willing to do my part, but this is going to be a hard sell for my friends or some others for sure.
The app is amazing though and I'm so happy to be back on Sync.
I previously purchased Sync for Reddit to remove ads, will I need to do a separate purchase for Lemmy?
NextDNS seems to block the ads. I just get a blank box that says "sponsored content" lol
