Tap the account switcher in the top left corner and you should see the option.

See my comment for a screenshot. I don't know why I can't seem to post a screenshot in the body of post. Every time I try it gets removed.

That's so aggressive just to remove ads. I get it that devs need to eat but holy shit man.

I think people (me included) have a very poor sense of what apps are worth.

$20 for an app you use nearly every day for years is unthinkable.

$20 for a single decent meal at a restaurant is fine.

Seems odd to me that anyone should think $20 spent on an excellent app is too much.

I think the issue is that Lemmy is still developing and we don't know what it's going to look like even 6 months from now. $20 for unlimited access isn't bad at all if you know you'll get your money's worth. I'm still hesitant with Lemmy because there are features that it lacks. I'm optimistic that they will be added, but I can't be sure.

Same here but after 6 years of using Sync I know what I get out of Sync, my hesitation is only in regard to the Lemmy project itself.

Except for the years of development the dev has a track record for developing the same thing but for reddit. /s

I don't think the hesitation is with the developer of Sync. I think he is worried about the sustained success from Lemmy. If people keep staying active, more people will join. But it could also fade away quickly (I hope not).

Hasn't the Lemmy dev been working on it for like 3 years straight regardless of how many people were using it? Now that active users are at an all time high it seems unlikely that he would just drop it

I have a hard time justifying $20 for a mobile app. I don't think I've spent more than $5.99 on an app and I used play rewards money so it wasn't even mine.

I've paid 10 for a beer, so 2 beers?

I think people (me included) have a very poor sense of what apps are worth.

Apps, like literally everything else, are worth what people are willing to pay for them.

Just one developer.
