Hey ljdawson@lemmy.world or any other mod/dev/anybody.

Is Sync still a thing? I saw you haven't commented on lemmy for 2 months now. There are no updates here or on the Play Store. Lemmy v0.19 is rapidly coming with breaking changes. Are you prepared for that?

Thanks in the name of the community!

I can't speak for the Dev but I am guessing they have other things on the go. Releasing this app as quickly as they did and following up with subsequent releases for bugs and quality of life features probably meant neglecting anything else that wasn't of major importance.

They are probably getting back on track with that stuff?

Well, I can confirm I'm using it to write this comment, very smooth experience for me.

I'm using the free version, so far any ads I've seen are not intrusive and tbh fairly rare

Also on free version, also haven't seen a single ad.

However, this long absence that LJ is renowned for highlights the reason paying ยฃ100 is too steep for things like Ultra or whatever it's called.

Free version here with an ad blocker, super smooth and no ads

Yeah, I've been pretty disappointed in the development. There are still features listed in "Coming Soon" for Ultra subscribers (of course, the ones I was most interested in), and it's been a couple months since there was any work on it. The main argument for the (greatly) increased price was entirely focused on developing Sync now, but that does not seem to be the case

I've also been waiting for updates on regional pricing for Ultra. I want to support the dev, but can't justify the price for what is essentially about 10 days worth minimum wage in my country.

Hopefully there's an update coming before 0.19 comes out and break Sync..

I wound up buying Sync twice before. And I have a network wide adblock, so it's great. Exactly what I had gotten used to with reddit.

However, lemmy is constantly changing and updating, so it's reasonable to expect the dev to keep up with changes.
