I used Sync Pro for years but I’ve found the connect app to be pretty close.

So yeah I’d probably have used sync for lemmy if it was priced similarly to the Reddit one but I’ve no interest in paying 10 times more to remove ads or any type of subscription.

The prices are super harsh. >€20 just to remove ads. €19/year for the subscription.

I get that they have much less potential users to spread their costs on, but that’s too much for the added benefit over e.g. connect.

I am on the free version and it looks and feels exactly the same as my sync pro for reddit.

That’s more than I’d pay for an operating system.

I’m alright with connect for now, Boost is the only one I’d pay for

Is one of these free (license-wise) and open source?

A bunch of them are. The ones I know of: Jerboa, Thunder and Voyager. I am currently mainly using Voyager, its pretty nice

Edit: Removed Connect, as it is not Open-Source

I don’t think Connect is open-source. To my knowledge, it’s similar to Sync and Boost, a single developer working on the app as a passion project.

Also using voyager at the moment but it doesn’t feel quite right on Android as it was mostly based on Apollo for ios. Even with the slight android theming it’s still ios-like.

I was disappointed it wasn’t on iOS, but once I saw that privacy policy I was kinda glad. Good on the dev for making a living, but jeeeeez
