It's a nice app mostly but there's a few things stopping me from loving it currently
You can hide viewed posts, there's a button for it. Click the 3 dots in the top right and it's there.
You can highlight and copy text from a comment, tap the comment, 3 dots, select text.
Not sure if the swipe to hide is still available. That was a godsend in Reddit days.
Still available! You can find them at: Settings->Post options->Swipe actions
Personally I keep upvote/downvote as the first two swipe actions, third as the save post.
Edit: pro-tip I just found after seeing someone else do it: long press on a setting in sync will copy a link to that setting. And you can paste it in a comment as such:
Settings shortcut: Post options > Swipe to hide
The only one I can help you with:
Tap a comment, three dots, select text, and now you can copy anything you want.
I also prefer a one time payment. But software doesn't maintain itself.
Doesn't have to be the most expensive app I've ever bought though. While also collecting and selling data. Right? Don't get me wrong, I love Sync. I just feel it went a bit overboard.
I hate paying subscription fees to giant greedy megaconglomerations but when we are talking about independent developers charging a reasonable fee for a great app, well...
