I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people's conclusions are thus far.

i wouldn't have a problem to pay 20$ flat to support the dev ... its a lot of time doing and maintaining an app

for now i dont see a reason to switch from voyager which shocks me bc i never thought a webapp could feel "that native"

the problem i see if i wanted to switch to sync ist, that without a google account i couldnt pay which basically kills it for me personally.

That's an absolutely understandable point of view.

I'm just disappointed in the people who seem to think they deserve everything for free.

Of course you can use free apps, that's fine! It's great to have options.

Personally I enjoy the experience of using sync compared to the other apps on my phone (my own activity within Lemmy has spiked since it's release!) And for that reason I'm happy to support its development.
