Mine is originally using Baconreader while in the dorm community bathroom doing a deuce and seeing a mention of Sync. Installed and instantly became a user. Later on I had a problem with the app because I was running beta Android. Reached out to the dev and after a few fix attempts an update was posted that fixed the issue. To get that kind of support is rare and is why I have continued to stand by Sync all these years.
I switched from ios to android 3 years ago. I searched for apollo replacements and sync popuped up. One thing I found intersting with sync is it was the only 3rd party app (aside from apollo) that had push notifications.
I’ve used Infinity. Then I stopped using reddit and now I wait for sync for lemmy
My story is that I’ve used Relay for Reddit exclusively for years and years. But now with everything, and Sync for Lemmy on the horizon, I’m looking forward to SfL.
Good lad
I was big into custom ROMs 10 years ago (I had a Nexus 4 at the time) and loved trying beta software. That’s when I found out Laurence was working on a big redesign. I think it was Holo back then? That’s when I bought the Dev version and I haven’t used another app since.
Was using IOS and Alien Blue before I switched to Android. Couldn’t find a decent app until I tried sync and it’s been my favorite Reddit app ever since
favorite next to Apollo
A friend recommended Reddit, I signed up in 2012 but the interface was… uninspiring. Especially on mobile. Out of curiosity I tried Sync in 2013 because it was getting very good reviews, and immediately preferred it.
I’ve never been a heavy Reddit user, but did most of my usage through Sync. It was just better.
Somewhat ironically I’ve recently been thinking about doing more in some Reddit communities, but the awful behaviour of Reddit means that won’t happen now. So I’m really looking forward to seeing Sync for Lemmy so that I can pursue those goals here in comfort and style! 😉
I used to use AlienBlue on my iPod touch way back in the day haha. Eventually got an Android phone and tried out a couple of apps. I think I tried baconreader and RIF along with Sync. I just liked Sync a bit better and have been using it since probably 2014 or so.
I’ve bought 3 copies of Sync Pro, 3 copies of Sync Dev and 2 copies of Sync Ultra over the years. Will buy Sync Dev Pro Ultra for Lemmy as soon as it’s available :D
tried a few but stuck w/ sync due to biometric account locking. my kids don’t need to see my posts accidentally while they’re taking 100 selfies :)
I’ve had it for years, I don’t even know when at this point.
It must have been my most-used app week after week, year after year, phone after phone.
That dev will never see this post, and I’m just one person, but that app made my mundane little life demonstrably better. A little bit better each day.
I was using Slide for Reddit but the app wasn’t being updated for couple of months and things started to broke up.
Tried a lot of other clients and sync fits right in for me, the beta at that time was even better.
Used it since early highschool, then got really invested with the app a few years back, joined the discord and became a mod on the official Subreddit. Now I’m just head waiting for our Lord LJ to release Sync for Lemmy 😉
When I got my first smartphone with a reasonably large screen I started using Reddit apps. I pretty much tried them all and eventually settled on Sync. I’ve been using that exclusively for almost ten years now. So now I just hope we’ll get a kbin/lemmy Version of Sync soon. I’ll be happy to buy it again.
I switched to Sync after Reddit purchased Alien Blue. I used the free version for a while. Eventually I purchased the Pro version then a short while after that purchased the Ultimate version. I got way more than my money’s worth in that app considering Reddit was about 60% of my phone use.
I don’t massively remember, it was around 2012 and I had a few Reddit clients, Reddit is fun was another one… I just eventually settled on sync… my upgrade to pro was in 2013.
Same, I tried about all apps in 2012 or 2013, settled on Sync and bought it 10 years ago
