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.

        Sync has a lifetime ad free option. That removes the Google tracking as well, since it’s tied to ads. Subscription it for extra features you probably dont need. Based on comments about reddit sync, it also doesn’t track usage statistics. But that is mostly a guess from my side.

        The price is a steep 20 USD, but the app is new and the Dev is well known. You also know what you are getting if you have used Sync before.
