Still too much in Australia. Sorry, want to support the work like on Sync for Reddit. But this app doesn't even have functionality to post yet and is $25 to remove ads. It just doesn't feel right considering it's the fediverse and there are no ads at the source.
I know you need to make a living. So you do what you need to.
I used to find this was the case using the PWA, but since moving to the app from the store it works a lot more consistently.
Looking forward to trying this out as it's a genre I haven't really tried. But still not sure I get the reason to pre-order.
What does "full time" mean? I've tried several and they're all still receiving updates. Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder.
That's the perfect example of why it's better to compare Sync to other Lemmy apps. If Sync is being developed "full time" then it might be a positive in comparison to an app that isn't. Hence, it potentially being worth the money compared to a cheaper or free app.
Honestly, he strikes me more like someone whose true passion is comedy, but he's stuck in a leading man's body. He seems to have spent a fair bit of time post Mad Men doing plenty of comedic (or less serious) roles or bits. I'm just happy that he's still getting opportunities and wasn't so typecast after Mad Men that he wasn't getting a shot at much else.
I wonder if that comment would be different if the show was Severance instead of Corner Office. Adam Scott is great in that role, but a big part of it's success is also the team around the show. And that's not easy to come by.
That's odd, I had no issues getting it from the store (Australia). Does this direct link not work?

Android mode is available in the PWA as well.
No. Different service because they're a completely different offering.
A fairer comparison would be the cost of Sync to other Lemmy apps.
Not what I said at all. Just pointing out they're are completely different services.
Yeah. It actually kinda does matter. Otherwise you may as well compare it to leasing a car. When you lease a car you no longer need to see ads on the train or bus.
You're comparing the cost users are willing to pay to remove ads, but services like YouTube have to pay for things that Sync doesn't. So the cost I might be willing to pay for YouTube Premium is different, as they're fundamentally different products. There's a hell of a lot more that goes into providing YouTube and Spotify, than there is to providing a UI wrapper for Lemmy.
Edit: You should be comparing the cost of Sync to other Lemmy apps. It's interesting you jumped to a completely different service when there's direct competitors to Sync you've ignored.
Yeah I noticed it had been changed. My feedback is that it's still too high. Sorry. The app is still in beta and missing major functionality. I think you may also need to look at some competitors as I haven't seen any priced like Sync and some are actually pretty damn good. I'm really enjoying Voyager for example.
I totally understand you need to make a living, but this isn't Reddit. And I'd rather put some of my money towards supporting the instances I use, rather than just in the app I use to access them.
I'm sure you're gonna do fine. You've got a great app and plenty of support. Just wanted to provide some honest feedback.
