Everyone is talking about how great sync is, but i tried it (and lift off, connect, summit) and all of them are literally the same. the only one i find to be unique is thunder because thunder feels like an app not a compact webpage interface. for example the leading in the sync posts is super jarring and feels like its from a 2008 forum and thats the same for most of the other apps.

except i did notice sync added ads which is a feature no one else has yet. and ad free is 20 bucks?? so from my perspective its the same (kinda worse than liftoff) as the other apps but it costs money

what is everyone liking about sync compared to the other apps? folks could just be used to sync which makes sense

also saying its more ergonomic or it just feels better isnt an answer however if that is ur answer thats cool id like to know why its more ergonomic or whatever tho

    i will say summit and connect suck more than sync. tbh I only like Thunder. liftoff is second (but its not close) if theres any problems but i havent had problems in a while.

    for me the minimalism and sleekness of thunders ui is more readable and less overwhelming

    i have nothing positive to say about lift off aside from i can scroll thru it and not complain too much which would probably be the same for sync if i tried hard enough

    summit and connect are pretty ass tho lol

    and theyre also not all the same like i said i was more going for a exaggerated change my mind kinda stance

      I get that. A lot of the differences are only going to be evident as you continue to use the app. If you’re already set with Thunder then that’s great and I’d encourage you to donate to the dev.

      If the ads in Sync aren’t an immediate turn off/deal breaker I’d also highly encourage you to give it a real shot over a week or so. There’s a bunch of customization options to tweak it just how you like and the app runs smooth as butter, for me anyway. The app was super popular on Reddit for a reason.
