Was using IOS and Alien Blue before I switched to Android. Couldnβt find a decent app until I tried sync and itβs been my favorite Reddit app ever since
My story is that I've used Relay for Reddit exclusively for years and years. But now with everything, and Sync for Lemmy on the horizon, I'm looking forward to SfL.
Good lad
A friend recommended Reddit, I signed up in 2012 but the interface was... uninspiring. Especially on mobile. Out of curiosity I tried Sync in 2013 because it was getting very good reviews, and immediately preferred it.
I've never been a heavy Reddit user, but did most of my usage through Sync. It was just better.
Somewhat ironically I've recently been thinking about doing more in some Reddit communities, but the awful behaviour of Reddit means that won't happen now. So I'm really looking forward to seeing Sync for Lemmy so that I can pursue those goals here in comfort and style! π
I switched from ios to android 3 years ago. I searched for apollo replacements and sync popuped up. One thing I found intersting with sync is it was the only 3rd party app (aside from apollo) that had push notifications.
I used to use AlienBlue on my iPod touch way back in the day haha. Eventually got an Android phone and tried out a couple of apps. I think I tried baconreader and RIF along with Sync. I just liked Sync a bit better and have been using it since probably 2014 or so.
I've had it for years, I don't even know when at this point.
It must have been my most-used app week after week, year after year, phone after phone.
That dev will never see this post, and I'm just one person, but that app made my mundane little life demonstrably better. A little bit better each day.
I've had sync so long I can't even remember redditing without it. My late husband was a tech guy and when we met in college he introduced me to Reddit and recommended the app and bought the pro version of it. Been a daily user for at least 10 years and can't wait to see Sync for Lemmy!
My first Reddit client was Baconreader. I can't remember why I stopped using it, probably because it had some limitations or other. I used RIF for a while, because they were going ad-free for Reddit Gold users. Didn't renew my Reddit Gold one day. Luckily there was a lot of hype going on around this newcomer called Sync, so I got it Sync Pro and was happy ever since. ...Until this day I guess, but that's not Sync's fault.
I used to use the official Reddit app back in 2019. Then one day, I was watching MKBHD's What's On My Phone video where he showed Relay for Reddit. I started used Relay from then on. Was very impressed with Relay, paid for the pro version as well.
I thought of trying out all the clients to see if there was something better. Saw Sync being recommended on random discussions on r/AndroidApps. Gave it a try. It was good, but I was too used to Relay to make the switch. Read about the beta program for Sync (I think it was v21), gave it a go. It took some getting used to, but it was perfect for me, switched to Sync full time. I decided that I'll buy the pro version one day (I was kinda broke :[ ).
Stuck with Sync since then. Purchased the Pro version on 7th April 2023 (had landed a well-paying job a few months prior :] ). Then a month later all the API shenanigans happened :(. But I don't regret the purchase one bit and I will buy the Pro version again once Sync for Lemmy comes out.
Way back when, I thought I'll check out what this new thing called Reddit is. Went to play store and typed Reddit, clicked on probably the top result and downloaded Sync. Since then that has been Reddit for me, apart from when I googled something on my pc and the result came on Reddit. I was shocked to see how shitty the website looked...
Used it since early highschool, then got really invested with the app a few years back, joined the discord and became a mod on the official Subreddit. Now I'm just head waiting for our Lord LJ to release Sync for Lemmy π
tried a few but stuck w/ sync due to biometric account locking. my kids don't need to see my posts accidentally while they're taking 100 selfies :)
I switched to Sync after Reddit purchased Alien Blue. I used the free version for a while. Eventually I purchased the Pro version then a short while after that purchased the Ultimate version. I got way more than my money's worth in that app considering Reddit was about 60% of my phone use.
When I got my first smartphone with a reasonably large screen I started using Reddit apps. I pretty much tried them all and eventually settled on Sync. I've been using that exclusively for almost ten years now. So now I just hope we'll get a kbin/lemmy Version of Sync soon. I'll be happy to buy it again.
I don't massively remember, it was around 2012 and I had a few Reddit clients, Reddit is fun was another one.. I just eventually settled on sync.. my upgrade to pro was in 2013.
Same, I tried about all apps in 2012 or 2013, settled on Sync and bought it 10 years ago
I was using Slide for Reddit but the app wasnβt being updated for couple of months and things started to broke up.
Tried a lot of other clients and sync fits right in for me, the beta at that time was even better.
I've bought 3 copies of Sync Pro, 3 copies of Sync Dev and 2 copies of Sync Ultra over the years. Will buy Sync Dev Pro Ultra for Lemmy as soon as it's available :D
