I already made this post a year ago, and indeed: Sync has been left to die, and we have been scammed.

Please give Sync a bad rating so unsuspecting users don’t use, or even worse buy, an abandoned app.

    I switched to Summit a long time ago and haven’t looked back. I just updated my review to 1 star. Thanks for the reminder!

    Still using sync daily lol, am I missing out on features of other clients? Any ones with as good of design as sync?

    What exactly is so bad about sync and what makes the others better? I’m not trying to be a jackass I’ve heard this before but I’ve never really understood it. I started on a couple of apps like I think probably jerboa and Voyager when they first came out and they were kind of buggy. Sync came out and it worked better than the others.

    So what am I being a fool about please educate me, are we just giving it bad reviews cuz it’s not updated and seemingly poor as hell communication by the creator?

      A lot of people paid money for it, only for the dev to go AWOL pretty soon afterwards. Most people probably wouldn’t mind him abandoning the project, except for the fact that they paid a subscription (or a large one-off payment), only to get abandoned without any communication at all.

          I kept using it until about two months ago, when votes stopped showing (presumably due to some API change), but there were plenty of minor things before that - for example, it stopped being able to save images almost a year ago.

      The Lemmy API has started to change, causing some features to not properly work anymore (e.g. Marking as Read hasn’t been properly working for months) and some content to become inaccessible (some posts and some comments just don’t load anymore, especially noticeable with “error 17”).

      That’s not to mention that new features simply won’t be available, e.g. all the new stuff mentioned in the last release notes.

    Yeah this sucks. Loved the dev and the app back on reddit. I paid to remove ads and never had another update. Fucking sucks. I wish he would at least say something!

    Done, should have done that a lot sooner. Also make sure to go into the reviews and mark ones calling out the abandonment as helpful to boost them.
