the time this is valid is not guaranteed to be lifetime.
I bought Sync years ago to support the dev, and they removed and republished their Sync for Reddit app and made everyone repay the ‘one time fee’ to get rid of ads again. Don’t believe for a minute that ‘lifetime’ means anything.
You bought the reddit version, and it was for the lifetime of the reddit app. He had to rebuild the backend from scratch for it to work with Lemmy, it isn’t the same app anymore.
No, you misunderstand. They made me pay for the reddit app twice, hence why they’re not getting another cent out of me and I’m not paying for the lemmy version. I bought Sync for Reddit twice because one day the app was no longer on my phone and there was no ability to restore it, just a newly released version to download that didn’t recognize my previous purchase.
That sounds like an issue with google play store, or perhaps you bought “sync for Reddit pro” (the app) in addition to the “remove ads” (in-app purchase on the free app)
I bought redditsync (what it was initially called before Reddit made everyone rename their apps) for $3-4 and used it for a decade without issue
Removing ads in sync is $20 lifetime, not per year

Yeah, people confuse “product lifetime” with “my human lifetime” a lot.

Agreed, i had a weird issue with reddit sync, major upgrade or something. I lost the premium features, i just had to restore purchases.
I wonder if the guy were are taking too reached out to the dev at all
Maybe when Reddit Sync Ultra was released, they misunderstood what was happening. That was an opt-in cost.
