What's the difference between "Remove ads" and "Sync Ultra"? (lemmy.world)

I'm loving Sync so far. I used the official reddit app ever since I was on Reddit. I sure was missing out.

I saw on the left bar there's two options "Remove ads" and "Sync Ultra". What's the difference? I understand ultra is a subscription that gets ad free browsing and more. However, remove ads looks to be a single purchase "add-on", i.e. no subscription. Is that the case? That would be nice down the line when sync for lemmy gets an official stable release.

There's also a price difference. Ultra is 1.99$/mo or 16.99$/yr, and remove ads is 12.99$.

You guys have ads? I just started on lemmy and tried jerboa and connect for now.
What is so good about sync ?

Stylish looking app with smooth scrolling and so many great browsing options.

Sync for Reddit was a hugely popular app before reddit practically shut down their api. I used it and missed it a lot, so glad to see it's gotten new life as a lemmy app.

I always used RIF, it was good. Any idea if that will be redone?

The developer, TalkLittle, has made another app but it's for Tildes instead of Lemmy or Kbin. It's invite -only so quite low population even compared to Fediverse instances. Plus iirc it's only text. No images, no video, etc

Huh, thanks for the info. I used RIF for years, didn't even know Apollo existed, so I guess I'll try sync, if I can get Aurora to unban me

The Boost dev is also working on an app. https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Of all the android apps I tried and I tried them all, this is the smoothest feeling of them all, it's visually nice and the dev is highly dedicated to the app which you can feel using it.

I was using connect for the last week and I really liked that app, but Sync just feels better to me.

I haven't seen a single ad or placeholder in Sync. Are they yet to be implemented?
