Let’s face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It’s no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there’s no indication the dev is still active.
Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn’t change as much.
Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They’ll possibly buy this app before noticing that it’s subtly broken.
Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don’t fall into the same trap.

This post is a link to an image rather than an image uploaded to an instance like the one you linked - in sync, you can just press the thumbnail to see it full screen (not at full resolution, but high enough). Voyager correctly loads the thumbnail, but I don’t see a way to expand the image without opening the webpage.
I assume that’s what they’re talking about. I’d also like the same…
Ah, gotcha.
So sync is pulling the image from the page, since its not a direct link to the image itself voyager goes to the page.
Thats fair. Has it been brought up to @aeharding@vger.social directly? I agree thats handy.
