🔥 hot take: Thunder is better than Sync considering subscription model for sync.

Update 5 August: sync gets lifetime subscription feature.

Yes. Really a good news!! Just tested the app. Feels a lil laggy. Waiting for it to smoothen more before i make the purchase. 🌻?

🔥 Hot take : Liftoff is better than Thunder considering it just is.

sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 3y

I have to agree. Liftoff isn't quite RiF level of cozy yet, but it's getting there for me. I haven't used Thunder in about two weeks, tried signing on today and all of my Instance data was missing. Maybe it was the result of the update, I dunno, but that kinda soured me on it a little

Pretty sure it'll be!! Tho still under development and it had noticable issues last time i tried. Soon will switch to it as soon as it becomes stable.

"I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.

Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours"

The developee aparently already said he would add a lifetime payment.

Yeah and now that it is not there, It's really heartbreaking and has completely swayed me away from using sync. I do mind subscription.

Lifetime payment was added to the beta 25 which the developer pushed today.

I'd pay a one time $10 or something, but the existing apps are pretty great. Thunder and voyager are the two I keep going back to

oaklyn@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah. Subscription model is not quite what i expected from Sync for full features. Voyager too is amazing and is continuously improving and adding features!!

Yeah I wasn't expecting $100 though

Feugnis@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 3y

It's only $20 lifetime if you want to only remove ads, the 100 is for all the features

iegod@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 3y

I took it for a test ride and it's not bad, but not as polished, slick, or as customizable as Sync.

Master@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y

Prefer sync but to each their own. Just glad we have so many choices.

Bongles@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

What's the context to this? Are sync and thunder things that are used with Lemmy?

pine@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 3y

theyre 3rd party apps for lemmy
