It's nice to see sync back but going to wait until they introduce one time payment to remove ads before I start using it. Will stick with browser and Foss options until then.

Heads up he just added that to beta 25 which is now available on the play store.

Or it's going to be available soon? I'm actually not sure the status as I've updated but still only see the two options, but his recent comments indicate he's added that.

Ah, found it. If you're not subscribed to ultra there's a separate "remove ads" option that you pay separately for.

How much is it?

Incredibly fucking expensive in my location. I don't know if it's defaulting to the subscription or something, but it's about 15x cost of my Pro purchase from several years ago.

For ultra or just the ad removal?

When I clicked the "Remove ads" option, so not Ultra. It's possible they're linked, which would explain the price.

$20 to remove the ads

$99 for lifetime "ultra" which removes ads, comes with cloud storage for settings I guess? And all sorts of other bells and whistles that rely on cloud services to work.

Seems decent to me, considering the subscription for a year is $20, if you need those things.

But removing ads for $20 is all I need.

The one time IAP is now live $19.99 plus tax

The amount of time I'd spend in Sync for Reddit daily, this was a no brain purchase for me.

Speaking of which, is/will there be a way of transferring your sync for reddit payment over to the lemmy app? I bought it like half a year ago. Understandable if I have to re-buy it, but figured asking won't hurt.

Nope, never heard any plan to support transferring purchase on sync community.

When I just installed it, the second or third option that came up was "Restore purchases: Restore your previous in-app purchases made in Sync".

This is my first time using sync so I don't have anything to test it with.

That's most likely for reinstallation. Doesn't apply to previous reddit versions (I was a Sync Pro user and just tested this to see, even though I knew purchases wouldn't be carried over.)
