I've registered for the app already. Every day I check Google Play for available app updates. I'll see a notification that there are several apps with updates available... but it's never Boost... such disappointment every time. Haha!

In all honesty, I can't wait for the app to come out. Take your time, do it right. And don't do what Sync did... I'll just leave it at that.

Not only the number one, but the only one. App works flawless. Is a beauty and... Yeah.. monetization is fucked

I wouldn't call it flawless, I liked the app but some features are quite iffy

If I knew Boost was coming out, I'd probably cave and get the $20 buy once. But right now I just bought the $2/mo since it'll probably be ready before then I'm hoping.

Good choice. I'm using free atm. Ads aren't even correctly implemented for me. Just gray boxes.

And here I just assumed that was Blokoda doing it's job for me.

How should sync do it in your opinion?

117 dollars for lifetime Ultra is wrong. Just saying. That's 15 Big Macs to remove ads and letting me cloud storage my settings.

How can that be a good purchase in anyone's book?

Edit: Sorry didn't anwer your question. I would set lifetime of Ultra at around 35-40 usd. And ad removal at 15 usd. I would also add a donate button for the people that wants to donate, since a lot of the Lifetime Ultra purchasers claim they bought to support the dev and nothing else. Let them do that how much they want.

Other free apps are closing in. And the free version of Sync is still the best app. I love Sync. But I won't paying harmful prices.

That's 15 Big Macs

another example where Americans will use anything but metric... /lh

[โ€“] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Am American, loooove metric, I've convinced both my kids it's superior (thank you 3d printers). You're welcome.

Thank you, maybe somewhere in the future there's a world that only uses metric. No more googling "how much km is 5 miles".

Yeah I have to talk like this because apparantly the cost of food is a parameter in what price the dev has set per country. I can even quote the dev on meal costs being a factor in pricing. It's. Wierd.

[โ€“] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

lmao I was already thinking those prices seemed random
