Even tho I hate subscription models, I also got a subscription till there's a pro version with one time purchase.

[-] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

There is a one time purchase option of 20$ to remove the ads now

[-] nonprofitparrot@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Has LJD confirmed there'll be a one-time-fee option like old sync used to have?

[-] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

He mentioned earlier that he is working on a build with this included. Don't know what the cost will be though.

[-] herrwoland@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Not that I know of

[-] uberrice@feddit.de 12 points 11 months ago

Also subscribed, not because I need the features but just to support this awesome app

[-] erre@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago

Same here. Already the best Lemmy app.

[-] norawibb@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

I don't know what sync is, but what feature is it offering that justifies the payment?

[-] iRyu@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Echoing the other comment, I came from reddit and Sync was the only way I knew that site. Used Sync for about 7 years. I like LJ as a dev, I appreciate the way he interacts with the community, and I love the app. For me it's a no-brainer to give him support because I use his product as much as I do.

For features: incredibly customizable material design. Extremely fluid. A lot of view customization. Comment drafts are something I missed on voyager.

Paid exclusive features: Cloud backups, user specific highlighting and theming, pull text from images, translate text, saved post folders (coming soon). No ads (yes the other apps don't have ads and are generally free).

Same. I just spent 45 minutes looking through all the Ultra settings. I can't believe this was developed in a month.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Helps when you already have a polished so that pointed to reddit instead of lemmy. I don't expect such a well made app to come out in a month.

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I bought it and other than removing ads I don't even know. I just want to support the dev

[-] gruvn@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Is there a lemmy or reddit app that ever served ads (Other than the official reddit app)? I thought that was one of the reasons for reddit killing 3rd party apps - they couldn't push ads?

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Baconreader had ads on the free version. Although it was only a one time $5 purchase for pro which was great since I used it for 9 years.

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

It's true they weren't displaying reddit's ads, but they did show their own instead.

[-] GooseGonnaGoose@lemmy.film 2 points 11 months ago

I’m interested in this too. What makes it better than voyager?

[-] jebuz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Most of us come from the reddit app, it just has a clean and good setup with great settings. The subscription is mostly to support LJD, on Reddit it allowed for cloud backups of settings and reddit specific features.

[-] Voyajer@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Is this what replaced sync pro?

[-] philip_the3rd@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

This may seem like the stupidest question ever, but where's the "post" button? If I click on "submit" in actions, it says "coming soon". And I know this is just a beta, but I need the almighty "block" option, too.

[-] Dragonmind@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Good to take note of not being able to post yet. I did spot a block button near the top when you enter a community. So maybe it's there for now before becoming an extra option.

One thing that's completely new to me is the ability to turn on holding on a post and it opens it IN THE BACKGROUND so you can multi-task! Sick!

[-] philip_the3rd@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Found it, thanx!

[-] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Posting is not available yet. It's still in Beta

[-] Pillarist@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Already renewed mine! Thanks LJD
