Tap the account switcher in the top left corner and you should see the option.
See my comment for a screenshot. I don't know why I can't seem to post a screenshot in the body of post. Every time I try it gets removed.
The whole pricing debate is so exhausting. Anybody who feels $20 is too steep for an app they might use for the next decade is welcome to their opinion, but they'll never have the same perspective as those of us who enjoyed a decade of improvements to Sync for Reddit. LJ is a class act, Sync is leagues ahead of all other 3PAs, and I'm happy to pay my share.
There are so many FOSS & alternative options. LJ is dedicating his full attention to a niche platform and has set up a subscription model that allows this project to remain sustainable for him & his team (yes, team). Feel free to go with any other option, but let's not pretend that Sync is the antichrist for being the first Lemmy 3PA developer that is prioritizing sustainability after a decade of supporting users who paid $2
I paid to remove the ads. I want to support the developer and this is the best Reddit app I used as well.
Having said that, this is a really steep price tbh and will be a hard sell for my friends. I am loyal to Sync and still see value in this price since I use it so much. But it really is steep.
Paid. Haven't actually seen any ads. The only complaint that I have, is that u/spez doesn't get a notification, with a comment on the value of building brand loyalty through respect and support of your user base.
Happily, thank you for not forcing a subscription model!

I wish ljd would do regional pricing. There are parts of the world where $20 is prohibitively expensive.
I fully recognize I'm in a position of relative privilege, but I am more than happy paying an annual subscription of <$20 for an app like this.
Building an app of this quality with this level of polish is a massive time investment, and I'm more than happy to reward that time with less money per year than I spent doordashing lunch this afternoon because I was too lazy to make myself a sandwich.
Really slick and professional looking app but, you gotta make price adjustments for the purchasing power. Especially for the ad removal option. My income and ad revenues you will be getting from me are way less than that of the US and EU users.
I would probably buy premium if it was $20 but $99 is way too high.
And $20 just to remove ads is also a lot, at least for me. I have a dns level ad blocker and it's needed these days in the extreamly hostile user environment we exist in.
god, honestly this has kinda turned me off even trying sync at all. liftoff works fine, and these devs are neither asking me for money, nor showing me advertisements.
i sincerely hope no one is out here thinking they’re gonna earn a living with an unofficial-app for a fledgling social media service, for which there currently exists no fewer than ELEVEN other fully featured apps in the google play store.
$25 / €23 in Norway. That's pretty pretty steep (งツ)ว
I've been using Sync since you gave away the free Pro version years and years ago. Just bought addfree without having used this version of Sync at all. Even if it sucks I owe you for all the years I had on that other site. Cheers!
£18.99
Is the pound near parity with the dollar again? Or is this that ballshit where you don't factor in your taxes but we do?
Thank you! This is what I wanted. Paid as soon as it appeared. Worked out to be about $30 cad, worth it to me.
It's pretty steep. But I appreciate the option at least. I generally hate apps that only give subscriptions so at least it's here and the dev has every right to charge what he feels it is worth (likewise you have every right to not see that value). I'll probably pick it up in a few weeks
100% Done
£12.99 in the UK
1,299 NOK ( €115 ) for a lifetime purchase for me. Is this right?
23,6 USD after conversations from Mexican pesos.

I do agree with the sentiment that the price is a tad steep. I think $10 is a more agreeable price imo.
Personally I still prefer the $17 a month considering that backing up my settings through the cloud is an important and convenient feature since I own multiple devices and 8 lemmy profiles (don't ask why lol). Hopefully LDJ has a desktop version.
Aaannd.... Done.
Amazing work @ljdawson@lemmy.world!
Kbin PWA just keeps getting better and better lol
I'm very happy to support a $20 ad free purchase. Did it immediately. Google Play credits paid for all of it, but even if it didn't id do it anyways. This is all great and jldawson is great. $20 come on guys. It's so worth it.
p.s. Download the Google Rewards app which occasionally will give you a 2-5 question survey and it will pay you between .10-.90 per survey. I get the surveys all the time.
