Boost’s permission screen looks identical. Google AdMob’s SDK doesn’t need any extra permissions, Google made sure of that.

As far as I remember, Sync uses the same SDK for its ads. The fact that there’s a shit storm against Boost for this is totally insane.

He’s not the one collecting the data, receiving the data, or even choosing what data is collected. How the fuck can he be “more transparent” with this data? It’s Google standard AdMob SDK used by the vast majority of Android-Apps showing ads. The SDK isn’t initialized in the paid version.

Literally, the only complaint I’m having here is that buying the Ad-Free version was a little too hard to find. A pop-up “hey, would you like ads or pay for this app” would have allowed me to pay for it faster.

This is the fastest I ever paid for an app. This has always been my favorite and one of my most used apps.

I know that the Lemmy user base is much smaller than Reddit’s and I’m so thankful that Rubén kept the price low and didn’t start charging triple digits like a certain other Reddit-turned-Lemmy-app to compensate. I also launched the rocket and still feel like I got a great deal.

I sincerely hope this venture will still be profitable and worth Rubén’s time and effort, I’ll keep launching the ticket on occasion to do my part that will be.

Exactly. There is no real fix for this other than to open YouTube links externally as the default and only option.

It’s not a bug, that’s just where the visible spectrum ends. There’s a bunch of different shades of ultraviolet following that purple line. Just don’t read far enough down a comment chain to stare at the gamma-ray-colored ones.

4.99 without a coupon, but there’s always a coupon. Last time I had one I paid one Euro.

So this license is 22 Big Macs, or 110 Big Macs with coupons.

22€ is the “remove the ads I’m blocking anyway” price, no extra features. That’s the one I usually always pay, for every app with a one-time-purchase ad-removal option. Because I really hate ads, don’t like to have adware on my phone and I don’t like not paying anything since my adblockers are really effective.

The “Ultra-Lifetime-Option” is 110€, which comes to $162 CAD or two Baldur’s Gates or two Unraid OS lifetime licenses.

Yeah. Sync works well, I’m using it right now. But it was always my second favorite Reddit client after Boost and that pricing is just ridiculous.

I have bought the “Pro” version of just about every single Reddit client, but 22€ to remove ads that aren’t even working on my device is just ridiculous. And all the interesting features are paywalled behind the Ultra subscription anyway.

Can’t wait for Boost.
