I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

    After reading this I decided to try it out. Within 5 posts there were ads. No thanks, I’ll stick with Connect.

    Edit: I was scrolling everything and replied. I didn’t see this was in the official community. My opinion doesn’t matter in here. I think it’s great that sync is successful and I hope it continues. So yea, keep on keeping on.

      I’ve been using systemwide adblock on all my electronics for years now so I forget that in app ads are a thing. But yeah, I see your point. They do offer a one time purchase to remove ads.

      It’s a single developer that should be paid for his work. You can easily upgrade to the ad free version for a few bucks…

      I had to trawl through the cookie settings and manually disable every single option. After that I no longer see any ads, just a space where the ads should be. Annoying that I had to do that though, with Reddit Sync I’d paid a one off fee I think and never saw any ads.

      I get it though. I think this app is the devs main job, and the user base is significantly smaller than what it was for Reddit so he’s having to put ways in to recover some income.
