Update 5 August: sync gets lifetime subscription feature.

Yes. Really a good news!! Just tested the app. Feels a lil laggy. Waiting for it to smoothen more before i make the purchase. ๐ŸŒป?

Thunder is great and open source. Mad respect for the Dev

"I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.

Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours"

๐Ÿ”ฅ Hot take : Liftoff is better than Thunder considering it just is.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have to agree. Liftoff isn't quite RiF level of cozy yet, but it's getting there for me. I haven't used Thunder in about two weeks, tried signing on today and all of my Instance data was missing. Maybe it was the result of the update, I dunno, but that kinda soured me on it a little

Pretty sure it'll be!! Tho still under development and it had noticable issues last time i tried. Soon will switch to it as soon as it becomes stable.

The developee aparently already said he would add a lifetime payment.

[-] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

Yeah and now that it is not there, It's really heartbreaking and has completely swayed me away from using sync. I do mind subscription.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Lifetime payment was added to the beta 25 which the developer pushed today.

I took it for a test ride and it's not bad, but not as polished, slick, or as customizable as Sync.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'd pay a one time $10 or something, but the existing apps are pretty great. Thunder and voyager are the two I keep going back to

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Subscription model is not quite what i expected from Sync for full features. Voyager too is amazing and is continuously improving and adding features!!

Yeah I wasn't expecting $100 though

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's only $20 lifetime if you want to only remove ads, the 100 is for all the features

What's the context to this? Are sync and thunder things that are used with Lemmy?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

theyre 3rd party apps for lemmy

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Prefer sync but to each their own. Just glad we have so many choices.
