Nice. Got it installed and walking through settings. Seems nice so far. Not sure about ultra pricing though..

[–] sma3in@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would definitely support the developer if it was a one time purchase. Paying monthly for an app to browse lemmy ain't it for me

[–] victron@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's gonna be an option for that, one time payment to remove ads. Let's see how it goes.

[–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The option to remove ads has been added - it costs $20 USD. The lifetime Ultra costs $100 USD.

[–] victron@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Paying 100 bucks for an app to use a service that still growing (and in the state Lemmy is currently in) is having so much faith. I really hope Lemmy stays, grows and matures.

[–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's for Ultra. Pro will be a one time payment available as a separate app on the play store. Pro will be available once sync is out of beta, from what I've heard.

[–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ultra is $100, and ad-free (I assume what is called "Pro") is $20.

[–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah the $20 one is just to remove ads and is a lifetime purchase. I figured that there would be a "pro" version like sync for reddit but it seems like it's all on the same app now and not separate.

[–] farlet2@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Living on a third world country, yeah, it's totally absurd pricing. I am not exited about the upcoming pro version pricing either.

I spent some time experimenting with Sync today, but I found that I prefer using Connect for Lemmy. While I appreciate the cleaness of Sync, I don't enjoy seeing ads when there are alternative options available that are ad-free. As well as Connect handling hidden posts better. I may switch between the two services depending on my needs, but I'm more comfortable with Connect for now.
