Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore (www.androidpolice.com)

Downloaded just now, looks great! But I don't really enjoy the subscription model. Why not make one lifetime purchase of let's say $20 or something? Monthly or yearly payments are a no for me. But paying even a little bit more for a lifetime would be working.

Exactly what I came here to say. I had purchased Sync Ultra (or whatever it was called) in the reddit app and was really happy with the experience. First thing I went to do upon installing the new one was go to purchase again and was really disappointed to see a monthly subscription and no one-time purchases option. Then I was even more disappointed to see ads in the feed. I mean, I get why the developer went this route, but it really sucks. I don't want another running subscription to think about. I have enough of those as it is.

I might be mistaken, but I don't think Sync Ultra is the same thing as the ad-free sync premium. Sync Ultra is a subscription because it adds functionality that requires cloud resources, not just removes ads.
