Is the restore previous purchases function working for anyone? Which purchases will be honored? I was a sync Pro user
Why would anyone pay for this while there are better alternatives?
Because "better" is entirely subjective and some people probably disagree with you that the options you feel are better are actually better.
Why would someone pay monthly for a social media app... That's more fucked than spez.
At least the money goes to an independent dev that interacts well with their community instead of going to spez. Just think of it as donating (you can still use the free app with ad blocker if you want), just like you would donate to your instance admins.
I bought the reddit lifetime this year. Lemmy is no where near as interesting or engaging as reddit so far. I guess I'll just stick with the ad free version.
Honestly that’s fair. There’s way less of a subscriber base here, development time is expensive, and you need to foresee circumstances for the future (look how many people Apollo dev had to refund). Sync is also such a great app, I’m personally just using the ad version at the moment on my android phone (and this is from Memmy on iOS). Sync is still one of the best apps I’ve ever used and keep an android phone just for it.
Honestly I'd pay 60usd (price of a new video game). I'd probably end up getting the ad free version for 22usd though I'm still evaluating the app and seeing whether my favorite app Boost makes progress.
I think a good reader like sync, boost etc. Is still a good value if you spend a lot of time using it.
