Please give Sync a bad rating on the Play Store

2 years ago by FooBarrington to c/syncforlemmy

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.

I've been using Voyager for nearly a year and have no complaints.

Same here, though I do have one thing I miss from Sync: press+hold on an image in feed to make it full screen. Happen to know if there is a voyager setting to enable this functionality?

I don't believe I've set anything specifically for it, but a single tap on an image goes full screen.

Hmm, maybe I need to take another look through my settings (or perhaps I didn't clearly enunciate my issue), because when I click a thumbnail in my main feed it opens the link, rather than a larger version of the image.

I miss Sync for that singular feature of press+holehold on a thumbnail in the feed to show a full size image of said thumbnail.
