I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra and that’s also fine.

But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.

Now I really don’t mind the ads in apps if it’s the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.

This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent…

    There’s also a cheaper ad-free version without the ultra features. Tap the profile picture in the top left, then “remove ads”.

      It’s not cheaper at all sync ultra is €3 a month and add free is a €20 one time payment… If he doesn’t have the €3 p.m. for ultra, what makes you think he can pay €20 upfront

        I mean, you cannot really compare monthly payments with one-time payments. Since ad-free is only available as one-time payment it only makes sense to compare the one-time payment prices for each of them. The one-time payment for ultra is ~180€. The one-time payment for ad-free is ~20€. Is that not cheaper?

            Exactly! Comparing those two prices to eachother is dumb and only makes people more confused…
