I’ve been using Sync for at least three years, and I’ve been a vocal advocate of the app, but I don’t feel right paying for ad free anymore.
I am unable to transfer my paid account to my new phone and yet Google continues to take out my $2.13 every month. I understand everyone needs time away sometimes but I don’t see how LJD feels right accepting people’s money while providing ZERO support for months on end, and never bothering to at least appoint a maintainer in his absence.
I see issues piling up with this app and I’m forced to look at ads while LJD does whatever he wants and takes my money. I feel stupid that I’ve been paying this man for years to provide a good experience just to be taken for a ride like this.
I had bought the lifetime pro back in the Reddit days, I paid for pro subscription while using Lemmy, and at this point I’m just done. I hate writing this post because I’ve been a happy, continual premium user of this app for literally years, but there’s only so much I can handle.
Obligatory LJD tends to disappear intermittently before coming back with a major update. I’m not saying that you should be happy with it, but as a longtime sync user I’ve come to accept it because homie always comes back with a banger update, historically.
