I purchased the year ad free sync pro for $16.99 the day it launched. I wanted to support what seemed to be a great app for a new platform even though that was an excessively steep price.

At this point I wish I hadn’t wasted my money.

After the last app update every time I opened the app it would crash. I attempted to clear the cache, clear the data, then reinstall the app. It would crash every time I tried to restore my backup. I reached out to the developer first and told them my issue. They initially replied back and said they would look into it and I provided extra information. Went several days with no update and I attempted to contact them again and got no response. I then asked for a refund because it doesn’t recognize that I purchased the Pro upgrade. Again no reply. I then tried to get a refund through Google and also no luck and that I should contact the developer.

I will never again purchase sync pro for lemmy or any other platform and I would caution anyone else from spending an arm and a leg for this app when there are plenty of equally good alternatives.

    I had this issue with that particular setting, and since it was part of my backup I couldn’t restore it as-is.

    If you feel comfortable enough modifying the backup file, search for hide_username and set to false. You’ll be able to restore your backup until that feature is fixed.
