I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

I like that liftoff has a desktop application. I use it a fair amount and it has a pretty good experience. You can tell it's optimized for mobile but it still does well with a mouse.

It's an amazing app, very clean and fast.

Whoever comes out first with Moderator options will get my money. Hopefully it's by donation to the developer instead of a app subscription.

"Oh, no! It's collects data!" - say people who use search engines, smartphones, navigations, personal AI assistants and social networks created by big tech companies to trade in user data.
