Request to create a 2nd paid only version of the app (self.syncforlemmy)

I don't like the lack of transparency with how the Google Play Store doesn't list the permissions if one pays for the app and instead only shows the permissions if one doesn't pay.

I generally prefer it when devs release two apps -- a free version and a paid version. This way it's very clear on the Google Play Store what is being tracked in the paid app.

This won't affect me personally, but I am curious if others would be more likely to use and pay for Sync if the permissions were more clear for the paid usage case.

My question at this point is more what happens when the Google services have issues like it would with Sync for Reddit. When that used to happen, IAP pro users lost their benefits until it was rectified whereas Sync Pro would keep working perfectly.

I'd pay for Ultra monthly regardless since I use the app daily and I'm more than happy to give ~3/mo for continuous development but I don't like that I have no way of preventing data collection/tracking when IAP have issues.

From what I gathered based on conversations in the discord, the developer fixed the issue that was causing that behavior. It hadn't been an issue for a while by the time Reddit killed it.

That's good to know, I never kept up with the issue since I wasn't impacted when it would occur. I just remember seeing it come up every now and then.

Appreciate the update! I don't really use discord these days so it's easy for me to miss that kind of stuff.
