    ive never got to use any third-party app for reddit, just the official one… as matter of fact i just discovered that such thing existed when the current crisis began lol. since i decided to flee of that dictatorial ship and now found myself here, kinda lost, id like to ask u guys if this “Sync for Reddit” was good and if we can expect the lemmy version to be as well (ofc, taking into acc the differences between both platforms).

    im asking that to be able deciding if i should watch it up close or nah. thanks guys

      Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don’t think it’s shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

      It was the best. I have tried most reddit apps but that one could be customized exactly how I wanted and it was great. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

      Good? The best one. I started to use Sync in 2013, there was no official app, only a couple of 3rd party ones. I tried them all a couple of days and Sync was vastly superior. I bought it and used it almost 10 years!

      It was my favorite app for a number of years. Pretty easy to use out of the box, but it came with an overwhelming number of things you could customize so you could have precisely the reddit experience you wanted. Pricing was fair at US$1.06/mo for the paid version. I can’t recall ever running into any bugs in the time I used it.

      I’d say it’s worth keeping an eye on.
