Same. But mark read has been broken for a while and at $20+ for no ads or ultra dev really needs to be on top of these updates to justify the price. My ultra expired a few weeks ago, but I'm not paying again unless he stops treating this like reddit. Reddit was pretty stable so didn't mind the long gaps with no updates. But at 5x the cost ...update
Yeah, that's a fair complaint. I didn't know mark read was broken but that's not great. I also wish it properly supported all markdown formatting. Especially with the Media Bias Bot being prevalent the broken spoiler tags are annoying.
I honestly regret buying Sync for Lemmy. With the higher price I expected better communication, but it's continuing the same as it was - going AWOL for months at a time, with very sporadic updates.
He does a years worth of updates in like 3 or 4 weeks and then takes off for like 6 months. For me that's acceptable. When he does get around to it, he pushes updates like the Flash on speed and fixes nearly all flagged issues in addition to adding new features that have been requested.
Yes, which means that issues stay open for 5+ months, with absolutely no communication from the dev. Every time you have to pray that they didn't abandon the app, and that they will come back and fix your issue.
This wouldn't be a problem if they communicated more often or did smaller releases. And it was fine when I paid something like 2€, but it's no longer fine when paying 20€.
