I don't mean to sound like entitled or anything but I happily and immediately paid $20 for this app when it came out. And there were a ton of updates and now it has completely stopped. And while that worked for sybc before with Reddit. It's not acceptable here with how often Lemmy is upgrading and changing. This app is almost unusable with how many small things are beginning to get broken. Just look through this community to see everyone complaining about the various bugs and issues that are now cropping up with. Lemmy me upgrades. A month ago the developer posted about a beta that almost no one has access to and we have heard nothing since. Really don't appreciate this tbh. And I'm considering cutting my losses all together here as there are other apps that are developing way more and that i would rather support

Yeah I completely agree that the pricing for sync was egregious. Seeing how much it would cost plus the fact that it was a subscription model is the reason why I opted for the free version. Personally I think that many people were way too keen to spend their money on an unproven product. I remember being in this community on launch and seeing posts of people buying lifetime before even trying it out. I am sympathetic but if you don't test drive the car before you buy it, is it reasonable to be outraged if it turns out to be a lemon? I don't think so. Very much enjoyed the free experience of sync though I will probably try out other apps to find out what works for me and what I think is good value.

Once again, we're looping back around to you are missing the point because it's essentially the same app that it was when it was used for Reddit. So a lot of people have test driven the app for years. The point is because of Lemmy updates. The app is now breaking. And there is no update in sight or communication.

If it was the same app buying the first would give you the second. Different payments different products.

It inherently couldn't be the same app. It is entirely different website. But it is very obviously built on the same app. Everything functions almost exactly the same. Even some of the wording is still styled after Reddit.

I dont know how much more dense you can fuckin get. Your argument doesn't even hold up when talking about this specific app if I take out the previous app beforehand as well. Because they were updating frequently for the first couple months. That gives me at least a few weeks to try the free version. Before deciding if it was worth it . How long was I supposed to wait months?almost a year? Before purchasing the paid version? I don't wanna look at ads for the better part of a year to find out whether they actually seem "committed to the app". Your argument is still so fucking stupid and dense because if you tried the free version in the very beginning. Based on the communication from the developer and the pricing scheme and the update schedule, it would have seemed like a decent reason to pay for it.
