I like the 20$ app-free version. Sounds like a solid business idea π€.

I can't stand the web app. Sync is fantastic!
I do not want to fuckin hear about this app anymore. Jerboa is working just fine, jesus

Perhaps lemmy admins should start charging apps like this for API accessβ¦

Where are my Sicko's running at least 3 apps like toddlers in a cage match.
Had my money on Liftoff, but Sync just dropped into the Hell in a Cell playpen and it's time to rumble.
I should update Jerboa probably

Cool. I find it well worth it though, and LJ is working on regional pricing now.

It's open source and works very well.
I've downloaded all the available Lemmy apps I could find
They all work better than the official Reddit app. I know it's a low bar to clear, but some of them have barely been out for two months and are in alpha/beta stages.
The only big issues I've run into are instance related because of those asshole ddos'ers
Other open source apps to shout out:
Infinity (Currently using to type this)
There's also Slide, but it's pre alpha I think. Not totally ready for normal wear and tear

The thing is... if it was the ONLY GOOD choice or even just the best choice, I would be willing to buy it. It just isn't though. There are so many FOSS options already. There will be better and cheaper paid closed source options in the future as well.

I just use jerboa and donate $10 a month to the lemmy devs
I think the bigger issue is that you can't afford a $20 one time fee for a highly polished app that will get a massive amount of usage. I know it's a tough economy but $20 isn't a crazy amount of money.

Infinity is goated!
I set it to amoled and changed the main color to something that's not bright in your face red/pink(too bright, esp when it's late at night)
Just here waiting for boost for lemmy!
I am Pro Sync, but I would still prefer Voyager / wefwef over the official web app.

Connect is free and pretty awesome overall
