I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.


Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that’s through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

    Most of the hype is from former users of the reddit version. I used sync for reddit for probably the past 7-8 years so it’s super exciting to have that same user experience on lemmy. It’s definitely a bit more refined and polished than other lemmy apps but it doesn’t inherently provide any major features that other apps don’t. I really enjoy it for lots of the small QOL features, personally.
