I know its new, so am I to lemmy, but I was curious if there is any plans to release Sync Ultra outside of the Play Store.

The features sound awesome and want to support lemmy but not everyone has Google Play/iOS.

An option like threema has to buy a license key and download the .apk would be ideal and I'd be all aboard!

Yeah, but I feel like those people are mostly going to gravitate towards FOSS clients

If they are decent, there is a limit of pain each Foss person can take

Choice and variety are important. If you only have one option/style, it will only take that one option failing for it to ruin things for everyone. What if Google Play somehow blocks an attack that foss-downloader apps are exposed to? What if the opposite happened?

Also, not having choices means that the official "choice" being made might not always be to your liking.
