Everyone is getting bent out of shape. Just use whatever app you like best. I have 5 apps installed that I'm testing including Sync.
That being said, my 2 cents regarding Sync: I don't mind paying for a great app like Sync, but I'm not crazy about subscription models. I know there is a one time option but $100 for a mobile app is beyond nuts.
EDIT: $100 is for the lifetime "ultra" plan. It's $20 to remove ads.
100 bucks is only for the extra features. Just to remove ads is $20, which is admittedly still high
I just noticed some other comments mentioning that and didn't realize there was a different one-time fee to remove ads. I only initially saw the "ultra" subscription options. You're right though, $20 is a bit high but not too far off. I would pay $10 if I was sure this was the app for me. It's honestly a nice looking app. I never used Sync for Reddit. My favorite was always Relay.
Whatever you do, it's important to support app developers. Definitely don't navigate to https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html and follow the easy instructions to block ads across all your apps
I paid 8 bucks for sync pro back in 2012. I got 11 years out of it. He earned more of my money
I have 10 in a folder on my home screen right now! I lover the amount of development taking place in the Lemmy ecosystem.
