I wanted to try Boost then saw the data collection and noped out.
If you pay for ad-free the admob library isn't loaded
I just used my play store credit. Easy peasy lemon squeezy
It's literally less than most cups of coffee to correct that issue forever. Ad supported software is standard practice for the last 20+ years, having the option to cheaply opt out of it completely is actually uncommon and shouldn't be completely glossed over like it doesn't matter.
It's bloody brilliant. Better than any of the other apps I tried.
I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm not going to gatekeep what apps people use.
Yeah I'm more than willing to pay for apps, but I hate spyware. I wish instead of ads there was just like a $5-10 price, or a subscription of like $2 a month or something along those lines. (Idk what the actual cost to develop the app is, I'm just spitballing prices)
That's bog standard admob. If you have ANY app with ads on your phone you have already agreed to all of that so it's moot.
I just paid for it the moment I bought it because I want to support Ruben. Fantastic dev overall, anytime I had an issue with the reddit version he personal would respond and either patch it himself or already have an answer
The paid version doesn't have admob library
Ppl said the same about Sync but I'm still using it after using my play credit to pay for the ad free version 🤷🏻♂️
All that is removed with the pro version, but I understand the hesitation.
Difficult to know for sure though since the source code is hidden
Bad day for the flower. Bet it was tasty to mister bunny

I'm happy with Eternity
I'm reading that with boost and I love it
I'm loving it, finally
Exactly why I have this account now
Oh it's so nice to be back, boys. 💙
In your absence lemmy has become meme land btw
I wouldn't have it any other way
Quick curious question.
Yesterday, my Android phone showed that Boost was installed by auto-scrolling to my 3rd home screen where there was space, but I didn't ask to install it. What could've caused this to happen?
Pixel 6 Pro, Android 13
I use base Sync for Lemmy
Pretty sure it only asks if you install via 3rd party stores like Fdroid, not the play store.
I can see it in the Play Store
Hell yeah! 🥹
I'm tired of Lemmy's furious dickriding of this app. It has obscene levels of data collection, and there are numerous other apps that are waay better than it.
"It's just bog standard spyware"
You're not making your case here buddy.
"Other people have opinions ew"
That's bog standard admob. If you have ANY app with ads on your phone you have already agreed to all of that so it's moot. For you to say it's obscene levels is hilarious because no, that's just admob. Many apps have way worse, all this is just, again, the basic Google analytics bullshit that's already happening on your phone if you have Google software installed.

The paid version doesn't have the admod library
