Sync is fine. More good apps are better for the platform and really needed.
I personally will probably not use Sync for long. I remember using it for Reddit for a while but noticing the app was updated to slow which over time broke some stuff. Then I went onto the Sync sub and apparently the dev is a bit...sensitive when there's negative community feedback and then just stops for a year or longer or so. Good on him if he can of course, it's not like he has to cope with the internet but I've found other apps to be more reliable overall for Reddit. Let's see how this one goes.
You sound like the dev is just a Karen who can't handle criticism. But in fact that he was receiving death threats (literally) because he dared to change the UI and UX of the app in a major revamp (even though that version was in beta for months and nobody complained). That's why he stopped for one year
The higher price might also help him be motivated to update the app frequently. I'd still be on the lookout for alternatives and the hate sync is getting is pretty rash atm.
The price might also go down as his userbase increases. The amount of people using the fediverse doesn't yet compete with the previous reddit numbers so in order to live off it he needs more per transaction.
