Having a little anxiety here because this is by far the best app. I purchased a lifetime Ultra membership and it wasn’t until I replaced my phone and couldn’t restore it, did I find out the developer hasn’t updated or posted in 2 years. (Somehow the Ultra got restored a couple days later).
I really hope the dev continued this, or issues a statement regarding the status. I also would pay for a version for Reddit (yeah I know, I just can’t quit that completely yet)
Edit: thanks for the responses. So far, Voyager seems to be the closest to Sync and best alternative for me. Really sucks the dev just abandon this.
It’s been dead for a while, I jumped ship to Summit. Pretty similar vibe, works well and I’m happy.
As others have said, it isn’t dead, but don’t expect any future support or updates.
How do you define dead if not by “no future updates”?
No future updates and no longer works
Good point. It could stop working if api calls change.
Lack of core function, and no sign of future updates in this case.
I’d also apply the term to other situations, such as a github page being taken down without any word from development about it, or similar.
Or, if an app is otherwise functional, but can’t be installed/accessed via apk/app store (like the keyboard app swype that works fine, but you have to jump through hoops to install on newer android versions and is no longer listed in any store)
Connect has been my go to client. Works perfectly
I still can’t find a client that works as well as sync on a tablet. Boost and summit have tablet modes, but sync lets you open several posts in tabs, where boost and summit you can only open one at a time. (Also summits post feed is a little cramped in tablet mode and I can’t find a setting to make it a bit wider).
Idk man I keep seeing people cry about no updates; I’m yet to experience something that needs updating.
I use Mlem personally.
I use the alx frontend for the site that blahaj hosts personally. Used to use sync but it got some deal breaker bugs that the developer never touched. He does tend to come and go, so he’ll probably be back at some point, but who knows when
