I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

Lol, claiming that Jerboa is just as good if not better than sync is wild!

Isn't that down to what one individually consider "good"?

I find notepad-style text editors better word processors than Microsoft's online Office system. It's not because notepads are technically better or more visually appealing. It's because I value not being tracked more.
