Everyone is talking about how great sync is, but i tried it (and lift off, connect, summit) and all of them are literally the same. the only one i find to be unique is thunder because thunder feels like an app not a compact webpage interface. for example the leading in the sync posts is super jarring and feels like its from a 2008 forum and thats the same for most of the other apps.

except i did notice sync added ads which is a feature no one else has yet. and ad free is 20 bucks?? so from my perspective its the same (kinda worse than liftoff) as the other apps but it costs money

what is everyone liking about sync compared to the other apps? folks could just be used to sync which makes sense

also saying its more ergonomic or it just feels better isnt an answer however if that is ur answer thats cool id like to know why its more ergonomic or whatever tho

    you said a lot of things that really dont mean anything to me

    for example thunder has tablet support and a that

    as for the polish no offense to ur desires but sync looks like trash. its got no heirarchy and the words are wayyy too close together. it feels clunky and slow.

    it takes two clicks to do literally anything useful how is the refresh button stuck behind a secondary menu. somehow thunder has the same information to display yet it doesnt look macgyvered together

    bottom line is those features youre saying sync is packed with is on every app is just worse done worse and for a subscription payment. i could be wrong but its just not polished or finished looking at all

    edit: i just saw the themes system and font size editor which raises it to a bit below lift off. thunder>liftoff>sync>summit>connect

      Have you had a chance to dig into the settings? There’s a TON of customization options for text, and it’s pretty granular.

      I’m not here to force you to like it, but tinkering around with it some more could possibly change your mind.
