    If apps were girls:

    I was always in love with Sync. But life happened and we had to go different ways for non-romantic reasons. Some fucker called Spez, long story…

    Eventually I met Voyager and she was great. Any user would be lucky to have her. But Sync was always the one that got away. Everyday I looked at Voyager and thought she was awesome but I was always holding a candle for Sync. But Sync was gone and I had to move on. But I could never really move on.

    But life happened again and Sync was coming back. I had committed to Voyager but, as great as she was, I always thought how she came short of Sync. Sync came back and she was as stunning as I remembered. I couldn’t stay with Voyager. I’m sorry Voyager. You’re an awesome girl but I was pretty much just using you since I couldn’t have Sync.

    I’m a user Voyager, I make no excuses. There, there…

            No, there’s a free version. With about 1/100, the ads the official Reddit app has.

            I wouldn’t demand a haircut for free, or commission a painting for free, or ask someone to a fancy restaurant, then demand we go Dutch.

            Sync has a developer who I chose to compensate for their work. I would’ve done the same for connect. I would like people to get compensated for the work they do. It’s great to get something for free, but I am not entitled to their free labor.

            But somethings are worth paying for.

                No you’re just super stuck on this really bad analogy.

                Sync is a prostitute in the same way a hair dresser is. Your mom can slap a bowl on your head and cut your hair for free.

            Sync is free if you don’t pay 20$ to remove the ads. The payment is more of a way to support the dev really, since you can get rid of ads by other means.

            I would much rather pay some money for a great app though than use something non-functional because it’s free.

      Also, Sync is high-maintenance and demands you spend money on her to avoid listening to her giving you sales pitches, unlike Voyager.
