    I use Sync at the moment. Is there anything Boost offers over Sync that would be worth switching over for? Always looking for a better experience when possible

        How about the fact that Boost doesn’t rip you off with ridiculously outrageous pricing to remove ads?

        That’s pretty high on my priority list.

          As a user of Blokada, the ads are thankfully not a problem. That’d be a real strike against Sync for normal users though.

        I wouldn’t say it offers anything grand to make you switch. It’s just another flavor of ui that many people, like myself, personally enjoy.

        Though if I were asked to pick something specific, it would be the customizability. It does have fewer options compared to the reddit version, but they will likely be added in the future.

          The customizability is also why I use sync. Do you have experience with both? Which is better?

            I bought and used both for Reddit… I used Sync for longer and liked it better but of all the Android clients I ever used Boost was definitely the closest 2nd for me.

      I was mostly using sync while waiting for boost to get a Lemmy port, and could make sync to look and feel pretty close to boost for reddit. I had a rather pleasant experience with sync overall. Both are pretty similar out of the box, very configurable and very polished, but now that boost for Lemmy is out, I’m back on boost. Not that boost has a killer feature that sync’s missing, just that I find boost subjectively better.
