I just wanted to say I’m sorry for the backslash you’re getting for charging money.

I’m also sorry people expect it to be $1 because the Reddit app was $1 back in 1825. I genuinely believe it’s children complaining, because no functioning adult would complain about a price increase when rent has tripled or quadrupled since the $1 Reddit app. It’s also annoying to see that people think that saying they bought the Reddit app for $1 and enjoyed it for 10 years is an argument. It goes to show it was severely underpriced.

It must be frustrating to have that type of response. Lemmy users seem to be really entitled when it comes to software, and the response you’re getting scares me for the future. I really hope the Boost developer doesn’t cancel his app after seeing how entitled Lemmy users are being right now.

What frustrates me more is the people complaining are continuing to use the free open source apps. Like great, you already have an alternative you prefer. Shut up. Stop bringing others down.

I wish you the best. Thank you for choosing to develop for Lemmy. I have my eyes on Boost, but I’m gladly using your free tier for the time being.

Thanks again!

Hey! Loving the app. One thing I’d appreciate is if it showed what instance you’re on under or above the “Everything”, “Local”, and “Subscribed” text. It can be hard to tell the difference between accounts if I have them themed to look the same! For example,

• Everything
• lemm.ee

Or something like that

Once we can get hidden posts to stay hidden this app will be perfect

I’m seriously impressed with how functional this app is from the start. Like lots of others have said, it felt like coming home given how long I’d used Sync for. Didn’t hesitate to pay for the ad free version once that option was added.

I’m probably dumb, but I can’t find how to change the size of the font of the post. I also noticed that is the same size of the one I am using typing this message.

Awesome. I subscribed immediately!

Is there a way to set up my subscriptions first instead of everything? I don’t mind seeing all, but mostly I’d like to see what I’m subbed to first.

Thank you for working so hard and fast! I know there’s a lot of people talking down about it being closed source and optionally costing money, but as a long-time user and patron it’s completely worth it for the quality of experience you’re able to deliver!

It’s the best app but the pricing is insane. I mean, maybe you have experience from your other apps and you know this is the optimal price, but otherwise, consider changing it. People are surprised by the high price right now.

If it was me, I would price it like this:

• Remove ads - $10 lifetime.

• Ultra - $3 per month, $20 per year, $50 lifetime.

Those sums are realistic and people are likely to find them acceptable. You would get more users instead of less users paying more.

But this is just me and I speak only as someone who never had an app in a appstore. Maybe you know better. But that’s what I would do.

I got the lifetime sync ultra subscription for the reddit app for 34.99 after getting the ad-free version and then the pro version because I really liked it. I only used it for half a year, but hey, I guess that’s the gamble you take with lifetime subscriptions. I now see that the lifetime subscription is €114.99?! Is this a mistake? What is going on here?

If I compare it to the 18.99 a year price, it’d take over 6 years to break even. If I compare it to the old 11.99 price, it’d take over 9.5 years. I just don’t understand the logic here.

Whether the pricing is appropriate is purely subjective. I paid the 20 bucks, thank you for your work. Looking forward to see this app thrive, it already works super smooth!

Hope you do not take the inevitably rude comments to heart.

Loving this app! Used your Reddit app for ages! Thank you!!!

I just want to say thank you for getting Sync up and running on Lemmy. Please don’t let the toxic comments sour your day. I for one is really grateful for what you do.
