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.

You say that as though there aren't far more posts on the front page of lemmy right now trashing sync than those praising it. Most of the discussion around it is people trashing it, not people praising it

Let people use what they like and get over the fact that not everyone wants to use the same software as you. The fact that you feel the need to block people because they enjoy a piece of software you don't like says a lot more about you than it does about anything else

I really don't get why so many people are so bent out of shape about an app they don't even have to use,
