I feel like I can finally make the full switch from Reddit now, thank you dev ❤️
Bought the app within 5 minutes of logging in, thank you for not having a ridiculously expensive ad-free cost 🥺

I didn't even notice the ads, but purchased on principle because it's not a subscription.

I didn't see ads, but maybe my PiHole blocked them?
Regardless, I spent the £3.08 for the advert free version regardless, the developer more than deserves it and more for all their good work.

just bought it myself. wow. I just realized how much I missed boost.

Me too. I've been using the mobile site until this was ready. It's workable but it's just not the same.

I was using jerboa. but it has nothing on boost.

Wow, excellent initial release, looks and works great.
Paid the ad free doo-hickey without hesitation. Don't recall seeing any ads beforehand.

Guys, now use boost to create content on lemmy! That is what is missing in lemmy. Comment and create posts!
hogart@feddit.nu · 11 pts · 2y
Yeah. Actually good pricing. Imagine that huh?
Everyone who paid 120 dollars for an app that shouldn't be named has to feel real good right now.

$120? For what app?
UnrealRealityX@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Sync. It has a monthly sub or lifetime for $100. But just the ads removed is still $20. Quite high no matter how you slice it.

Well worth it in my opinion, superior app and was released fairly quickly.
UnrealRealityX@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Seriously, that pricing is bonkers. I mean it's a great app, but not at the level of productivity software!
I was on boost and switched to that ine for a while, but now I'm back on boost again. Ah, choices.

That is for Ultra, just removing ads costs less.
RaulitoElLobito@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Still outrageous
xenspidey@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
What app is that?
RaulitoElLobito@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
Sync for lemmy
xenspidey@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 2y
I'm on Ultra and it's not $120 bucks. It's a yearly subscription. I have tried all the clients from the reddit days and Sync is the best in my opinion. Boost is probably my number 2
BallsInTheShredder@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Eww, which app was that? $120?
D4gma@feddit.it · 5 pts · 2y
Still using sync after trying... Many (too many) apps. I don't see any ads, only the empty placeholders and they are very few. I like Sync for its fluidity and nice ui+gestures, and probably will stick to it even after those ads will become real - as I said, there's no ad right now. Real question (no flames pls): What does Boost offers instead?

I don't see it as available here in the UK yet. Is it finally here?
Schal330@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
I'm in the UK and was able to request access after reading this post https://lemmy.world/post/5478381
FabulousAardvark@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
Same for me, just takes a little while before you can actually install the app (couple of hours for me)
BallsInTheShredder@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Same here! Been trying so many apps since switching and haven't found anything as good as Boost, and I just got it for Lemmy 5 minutes ago. Just quoting you so easily felt great.
Didn't realize how much I'd been missing boost until I got it back.
Thanks Ruben. Also, how do I buy this?
JokeDeity@lemm.ee · -7 pts · 2y
Paying for a an app for Lemmy. Oof.

who hurt you?
JokeDeity@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Capitalism I guess. This whole thread reads like paid bots, lol. I'm happy with my free apps and saving the extremely limited money I do have.
stebo02@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y
Well I'm sorry if you can't afford $5 to support a developer but luckily for you there's free apps for lemmy out there. There's no reason to whine about what other people spend small amounts of money on.
JokeDeity@lemm.ee · -1 pts · 2y
A few people said they paid $120 for an app, lol! Small amounts?
stebo02@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y
this thread is about Boost, you're talking about Sync
D4gma@feddit.it · 2 pts · 2y
I'm actually using the in-famous 120€ app without paying a cent. And I do not see any ad. Moral: people sometimes loves to whine too much.
