Sync forgot about my Ultra purchase (lemm.ee)

I paid for a lifetime purchase of Ultra back in April 2023 after Sync for Lemmy was released. Now suddenly Sync started showing me ads yesterday and asking if I want to buy Ultra. I have tried "Restore purchases" but it doesn't find anything. Has anyone else seen this or have any tricks to get it to remember I already paid?

I think you're looking at your Sync for Reddit purchase there. Sync for Lemmy was released August 2.

Damn you're right, this purchase is too early to be for the new Sync!

This leaves me questioning my memory in a big way. I remember being grumpy that I had to pay again to switch to Sync for Lemmy, but I don't see the purchase on Google Play. And I definitely have not been seeing ads for the 8 months I've been using the new app.

Was there some other way to pay to get rid of ads when the app first came out? Sorry I'm just thinking aloud here.

I'm in the same boat - zero ads in Sync for Lemmy until this last update. I just assumed the purchase from Sync for Reddit had carried over, but I guess either LJ changed his mind or it wasn't intentional.

I've never had ads in Sync for Lemmy, never paid a dime either. Started seeing a couple of ads since the last update.

New update added ads to the top of every comment section. Maybe you're only noticing that now. Previously ads looked like posts in your main feed (those still exist)
