Yeah, if subscription is the only way to remove ads then I'm fine with the Foss options like liftoff. And I'm blocking ads system wide on my phone, so it's not like I see any ads on Sync. But, I would still prefer to be able to pay to remove it, since I have moved away from using apps that have ads in favor of Foss or paying to for the ad free version over the years.
Yep, I had my credit card out (figuratively) and was ready to buy the ad free version, just to support the dev - but I turned right around when I saw the price (AUD$34).
I don't see ads either, it was literally just about the support for me. I'm weighing up whether to go back to Connect on principle, and if Adguard stops working on Sync, I'll definitely just walk away.
Hey, any tips to block ads system wide?
Easy way is with an adblocking DNS. Simple ones to use are Adguard and NextDNS
dns another comment suggested or something like personaldnsfilter or rethink which creates a local vpn. Both are on the play store or f-droid.
