Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

    Hey everyone. Happy to finally get this out, it’s been one busy month.

    I’m looking to add a lifetime option for ultra & option to just remove ads. Keep in mind this is the first release, lots more to follow.

    Cheers!

    Lj

      What ads are being removed?

      Edit; oh God theres ads on the app?? I thought you were talking about ads somewhere on lemmy.

      Edit again. Yes I now know there ads on the app. I thought the first edit made that clear. You can stop replying telling me there’s ads on the app. I know this. Stop acting like reddit.

        Probably the ads placed in the app to help pay for development costs of creating a free app.

              Seriously? Do you know what time is?
              At the time the app had just released and I didn’t know there were ads in the app. As time went on I found out there are ads in the AP. That’s what the first edit is. In fact I even told you why I asked in the edit.

              Fast forward to long after all of this happened, and you come strolling in “I can’t read and don’t understand series of events so I’m going to chime in with a dumb question”

                I guess I’m more so questioning your “no shit” comment then. Seems like it was shit

                  You guess? You don’t even know why you’re talking? Lol aren’t you just the brightest bulb in the box.

                  Have a good one.

        Makes sense to have a free ad-supported tier, since not a lot of people will be okay with paying money to access an unproven platform.

        On my first few runs I didn’t see any ads and was honestly confused about that. But I just now opened the app and I see a block that says “Sponsored content” with nothing filled in, so I assume that’s where the ads would normally show up. I’d estimate it’s showing up once every 10 or so posts in my feed.

      I subscribed to Ultra for a year to thank you for the development work on this. If I wanted to get the lifetime instead is there some way to refund the year and wait for lifetime?

        You can try asking Google for a refund, I did that because I did ad-free lifetime before realizing there was an ultra lifetime. I suspect the sooner you do it after the purchase the better, though mine is still under review so we’ll see. I also tried to make sure to explain that I was basically just trying to swap for a higher tier of product in the app as part of my refund request.

      Cool! Gonna buy Ultra for a year and then switch to the ad-free version. That’s all I can and want to afford. Thanks for your great work!

      Really excellent so far! I bought the lifetime ultra for SfR and I’ll do it again for SfL! Especially if you bring back the comment restore function.

      Purchased Ultra on one phone and was hoping to use it on the other. Doesn’t seem to sync up yet. Hopefully that’s on the roadmap.

      Feels good to be using sync again. Hurry up with the lifetime one so I can give you my money!
