I've registered for the app already. Every day I check Google Play for available app updates. I'll see a notification that there are several apps with updates available... but it's never Boost... such disappointment every time. Haha!

In all honesty, I can't wait for the app to come out. Take your time, do it right. And don't do what Sync did... I'll just leave it at that.

Personally, I wasn't too worried by the pricing model of Sync, and I'm usually tight AF - I think post- the great 3rd party client purge of Reddit it's clear to me just how much value they brought to my browsing experience, so I'm happy to support the developers.

I think people who say these apps already exist and it's just a case of porting to the Lemmy APIs are massively underestimating the actual amount of work involved to do these apps justice on Lemmy. £20 or so to support the developer and gain an ad-free experience seems entirely fair to me!

Same here. I'm still on the free version of Sync because I'm holding out for boost, but if it takes a few more months I'll definitely need to drop for a lifetime of sync. I NEVER spend money on apps, but boost I bought twice and I absolutely will again.
