I prefer open-source apps (very happy currently with Voyager, see !voyagerapp@lemmy.world), but huge respect for the fair pricing!

- Voyager is the app I chose after trying jerboa and a couple other, I think it will grow up as a fierce competitor to apps like Boost

I am loving Voyager app too much. Not going back..

- I waited for Boost. But now I am so used to and satisfied with Voyager, that I don't know if I will change.

Counter-Strike 2 and Boost for Lemmy releasing at the same time. Let's go! 😁

Using it right now. Really like it.

Proprietary and actually read the privacy policy, it's really unsettling

- Yeah, I'm okay with my Voyager.

- It's 2023, we shouldn't promote proprietary apps that adds tracking and ads

- Seems like a pretty standard privacy policy, almost identical to Sync, Relay, etc. Of course not everyone wants that, but I don't see how it's "really unsettling"

  That's a concerning thought

Super excited! I had signed up in advance and saw it on my home screen today.

Great app.

Ooo has notifications too

This is the one. For me at least.

Yay! Great work, I love it. Thanks!

It should be a price upfront. Instead it bakes ads into the app, ads which aren't even present on the instances. I find it a bit disrespectful towards the hosts who maintain their instances for free and only ask for donations.

The app is nice, but you get the Google ads in the free version. Personally I think you can have mostly the same experience without Ads on some other app like Connect.

- I don't get any ads. Maybe nextdns.io removed them.

  Yes, this or VPNs suppress.

  Yea I noticed I don't get ads in it nor in Sync for Lemmy.
  
  No idea why, but I'm not complaining.

Great timing!

Trying it now!

After the astronomical pricing debacle with Sync for Lemmy... I instantly bought Boost ad free! Thanks @rmayayo@lemmy.world <3 Loved Boost for Reddit and I'm excited to keep using your app for Lemmy!

- Sync is out of their fucking mind with pricing. They were my preferred reddit app, but not for Lemmy

  Oh BEYOND out of their minds. Sync is certainly a great app. But like, I can buy a game for what they wanted. I was a Boost user on Reddit, had that labour of love feel to it.

Cool!!

Thank you! You rock! Missed Boost!

I think it would be great if the navigation bar applied material you design.

Yep

Funny to see all the Sync hate, when in that last client pole it easily took 1st place. =)

- The $20 no ad fee was a bit shocking

  As a long time Sync user I guess I already knew Sync was my long term client, and $20 for an ad free version for the lifetime of the app doesn't sound so bad. The developer is great with adding things the community wants and updates frequently. But having a choices is always a good thing!
