Tap the account switcher in the top left corner and you should see the option.

See my comment for a screenshot. I don’t know why I can’t seem to post a screenshot in the body of post. Every time I try it gets removed.

    You’re not paying to remove ads. You’re supporting the development and making it worthwhile for the developer to continue to create the app.

    That it happens to remove ads is just a side benefit. You can remove ads from all apps using a VPN based ad blocker anyway (on android).

      I paid €2.51 to remove ads on Sync for Reddit. I would have spent maybe a tenner but it’s over €20 for the Lemmy app. As much as I love Sync, that’s a big nope from me.

        Remember, Lemmy has a lot less active users than Reddit. Even if ALL active Lemmy users on Lemmy.world buy the app at its original $2 price, it’s still not enough to sustain full time development. Both higher one time purchase price and subscription is needed for the app’s survival, even then I’m still not sure if it’s enough for the dev to sustain themselves. I’m getting the ultra subscription for this reason because I don’t want the app to go away, and I encourage people that really like the app to do so as well.

      No, we’re paying to remove ads. And $26 CDN to remove ads feels really high when I paid $3.69 to remove ads in Boost and $4.49 to remove ads in Relay in 2019.

      I like how you bothered to speak of supporting the dev yet mentioned how to stop ads with a VPN based blocker.

        Yes it is steep for me in Quebec with taxes it is 31 $ . But I had the option to use 20$ in google play credits from Google rewards. 11$ is an ok deal. Remember that sync is the first Lemmy app from former Reddit devs and that the developer worked really hard to release it.

          I am aware of the scenario. Sync for Lemmy is not just relaunching into a fresh world here. The dev shouldn’t come in with unreasonable pricing. Not when we can use very nice apps such as Connect instead for free, and ad free.

        Paying to remove ads is supporting the dev. This is doubly true when you can get no ads without paying (though sync will still have blank spots where the ads were supposed to go).

            It’s a lifetime option. They may well make $20 over the next 10 years.

                You can keep sync when you get a new phone. It goes with your google account, it’s what the “restore purchases” option is for during the setup.

                Why does that matter? I’ve replaced my phone 4 times so since I bought sync for reddit, still used the same 7 dollar purchase to the end.

      Yes we are paying to remove ads.

      If people want to keep supporting the dev, just buy the subscription or check if he has a donations link. But this purchase is just what it says: Remove Ads.
