I really wish the dev the best of luck. But personally, the idea of trying to make something lucrative and introduce ads (& the accompanying trackers) on top of something that people joined because they rejected that in the first place just doesn’t sit right with me, especially given that we have awesome apps like Voyager and Memmy that are purely donation-driven.
Those options are nowhere near the level of polish of Sync.
Nobody HAS to use it. Ultimately if you want a choice of premium apps there has to be some incentive for a developer, or multiple in some cases, to basically go full time to develop it. Talented devs don’t usually work for years on end for no pay, and I would be surprised if donations ever become significant enough to compare.
FWIW, I think the dev has said somewhere that the tracker libs aren’t loaded if you are subscribed (or pay for the ad-free version when that’s available) as they’re part of the ad frameworks

I haven’t seen any ads yet . But I will definitely be willing to buy the pro version again like I did with Reddit .
Haven’t used the app yet as I’m not really sold yet but the Play Store and the app’s own privacy policy mention them:
