I use sync too but I wish the developer actually seemed to give a fuck. Seems he took all the initial money and bounced. I know he comes and goes but people pay for this app and it should be maintained properly.
I'm on sync.. What are the issues? Also I think the team works on his sporadically, it's not a main thing, more like a hobby thing.
There is no team and there is a bug tracker to see the list.
Which is why even though I left Reddit because of Sync I didn't buy it again at the now much higher price. I got used to Jerboa before Sync was ready, and it's almost as good (for my use anyways) and free.
Way back when it released I said that the dev was charging so much upfront that he probably doesn't expect lemmy to take off. He even responded to my comment saying he was going all in. I guess I was right in the end.
He left for months at a time with Reddit too, always citing some personal troubles. When he quit his full time job to work on Sync and still disappeared, my trust was very shaken.
