Sync for reddit

This is a good app with a great UI, but a recent update seems to have severely impacted the performance of the interface. Things start out normal, but after a few mins of use any animation, scrolling content, or watching videos will stutter heavily on my device. Closing and relaunching the app fixes this briefly, but it'll begin stuttering again soon enough.

This was the best app for reddit. But suddenly it embraced full screen pop up ads, which for me is deal breaking. I know that the previous ad provider company has closed so the developer is testing other ad alternatives, but this one is the worse.... if someday it got back with the old ads style (they were sweet af) and get rid of the full screen pop up ads and footer ads, I'll give it 5 stars for sure.

Adding ads has ruined the experience. Going to uninstall and get a different app. Response to developer - You know exactly which ads I am talking about. The new full screen pop-up ads that were added in the most recent update. Got one when I opened the app after updating. These new ads are a deal breaker for me.

Latest update has issues with ads. I purchased the ability to remove ads years ago, even says "You already own this item" when I press Remove Ads in the side bar of the app underneath Settings. There's still a banner ad at the bottom. If the dev is trying to force people to buy the Pro version, that's not cool.

I used Sync for about a year, the ads weren't bad but I found navigation annoying, the UI poor, and overall it lacks some basic Reddit functionality. The app definitely could be better. In the end I switched to a different Reddit client.

After a recent update, ads are automatically launching the Google Play store with no user input. I'm just reading a post and suddenly the Play Store is launching. I like this app, and I understand the need for ads, but I will 100% have to stop using it if this isn't patched soon.

I've noticed the app crashing a lot more recently. It seems to do so when just scrolling through the feed, not when doing anything in particular like opening a link or something. A recent update appears to have made it quite unstable. On Huawei P30 Pro.

After signing in with my credentials to this app reddit no longer accepts my credentials on the website nor the official reddit app. UPDATE: Looks like it was reddit who flagged my account because I sign in out of their domain. Although is not Sync's fault, it was definitely the trigger. It was eventually resolved on Reddit's side. It would be great to be able to swipe from one post to the next; instead of having to go back to the main view and pick the next post.

Recently, I started getting animated ads from AppLovin that slow my phone down to a crawl — scrolling through comments is choppy and it's nigh impossible to watch videos. It's a terrible experience, but I guess it's a way for the dev(s) to incentivize users to pay to get rid of the ads.

Loved the app for years but ruined now by a constant impossible to ignore permanent banner on the bottom. Previous ads were fair and not intrusive. Sad that now I gotta find an alternative. Edit: bumped from 1 to 3 stars because the dev responded at least. Hope they find a better solution.

I hated it, personally. It's a nice looking app but so far in basic functionality and look from normal Reddit. I hated it. The last straw was that there is a default option to collapse comments by swiping on thenlm. Took me forever to figure out what was happening. Maybe there's an option to disable it but it's cumbersome to use and I don't like how it lays out anyway. Having to click a comment to up or down vote is asinine.

Best Reddit app I've used and I've tried a few. For my needs it makes the official Reddit app obsolete. Nice features, good design, and it makes more sense out of the comments section. As a result, Sync has become my portal into the front page of the internet.

The previous versions were great, but the latest update introduced massive lag that comes and goes. The app is borderline unusable in its current state.

Edit: I tried this app again 1 year later and they still haven't fixed the flair issue. Wow.... Unable to submit a post without a flair but there's no option to add a flair before posting Edit: Still no fix for this basic issue. Time to find a new app.

Needs better share capabilities. When I want to share a link to reddit post, you should be able to tap on "share" , then sub menu you should tap on "post (+comments)" or something like that. Thank you for the help finding it.

update: (4/28/22) v.redd.it videos will not work in the app, most of the subs i view use these videos, so reddit is unusable with this app. my settings also did not stay the last time i uninstalled and reinstalled so i lost all my filtered subreddits/phrases/whatever, so im unwilling to do that again. will be trying other reddit apps, which is sad bc ive used this one for years.

My only issue with this app has been a recurring bug where opening images or videos from any post will result in just a greyed out screen until closing and opening the app again.

Used to be great, now it's slow. 1 meg pictures take 20 seconds to load over WiFi. App takes 10 seconds to load. Ads somehow getting past pi hole. No thanks.

Many gifs or videos won't load. This can happen all the time. If you open the same video on chrome it works fine.

This used to be great, but a recent update tanked performance. It hangs for a solid 5+ secs just when launching, this has never happened before. Uninstalling.

app has not loaded at all since most recent update. I've used the app for like 5 years without issue, really hoping an update comes out to fix it.

So slow for a while now. GIFs, videos etc take a while to buffer yet have high internet speeds. Looking for alternative!

New update now has adverts that take your entire screen, more and more lag the more posts you view (maybe it doesn't kill adds?) It now absolutely devours battery like no other app, not even cod mobile. And it makes my phone feel like it's on fire. Is this app mining crypto on my device? I've reported it just in case.

Would appreciate if the content I'm trying to view (or even scrolling through my pages) didn't get constantly interrupted by a pop-up ad to some Google play store app, It's killing the experience

Ads for the app are atrocious, featuring hate pieces from Fox news constantly streaming across the app as well as regular force scripts that autotake you to foxs app page to try and force you to download their app. Utterly worthless now.

Used to be a good app, although now constant crashing issues and gif/videos constantly no longer load. Install Joey instead.

Tried this to use hide posts I've already read, there is an option, but it doesn't work, so going back to the official app that doesn't ask for money or display ads

App was working good untill recently, now it crashes everytime I go into the comments on certain subreddits and it says it can't go to posts with YouTube links because it says YouTube isn't on my phone, even though it is.

Way better than the reddit app, actually keeps my progress and doesn't get stuck not loading unlike reddit. Took a bit to get used to the layout but definitely better way to browse to the memes
