I already made this post a year ago, and indeed: Sync has been left to die, and we have been scammed.
Please give Sync a bad rating so unsuspecting users don’t use, or even worse buy, an abandoned app.
What exactly is so bad about sync and what makes the others better? I’m not trying to be a jackass I’ve heard this before but I’ve never really understood it. I started on a couple of apps like I think probably jerboa and Voyager when they first came out and they were kind of buggy. Sync came out and it worked better than the others.
So what am I being a fool about please educate me, are we just giving it bad reviews cuz it’s not updated and seemingly poor as hell communication by the creator?
The Lemmy API has started to change, causing some features to not properly work anymore (e.g. Marking as Read hasn’t been properly working for months) and some content to become inaccessible (some posts and some comments just don’t load anymore, especially noticeable with “error 17”).
That’s not to mention that new features simply won’t be available, e.g. all the new stuff mentioned in the last release notes.
A lot of people paid money for it, only for the dev to go AWOL pretty soon afterwards. Most people probably wouldn’t mind him abandoning the project, except for the fact that they paid a subscription (or a large one-off payment), only to get abandoned without any communication at all.
I paid too, but I mean it does work.
I get your point though
Done, should have done that a lot sooner. Also make sure to go into the reviews and mark ones calling out the abandonment as helpful to boost them.
Done
I switched to boost a year or so ago and have been happy with it
Boost is a great option! I’ve personally switched to Summit, but we’re really lucky to have many great app options available on Android.
Awesome! Summit is new to me, I’ll give it a go.
