    This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.

    This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.

    Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

    This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

    Sync apps have been my go-to for 10 years. Here’s to 10 more 🍻

    In the play store description I noticed you refer to “subs” but they’re called “communities” here.

    Excellent work boss, as always 👍🏻

    Edit: Wow the messaging section is looking good, Sync for Reddit never looked that nice!

    Thank you so much for the continued updates!

    Something about the fixes for usernames not showing up appears to have undone the fix for #122. I can see my username in plaintext for the current account even though I have hidden the display names.

    Notifications! Yes! Thank you.

    (Can someone please reply to this, so that I can test if they work for me? Thanks. 🙂)

        Thanks. It doesn’t seem to work though. I’ve set it to check for messages every 10 minutes but I get no notification. (The app was closed during that time) 🤔

        Does anyone have the some problem? I’m on Android 14 on a Pixel 7 Pro.

    Great work, thank you. I’m wondering if you’ve put any more thought into displaying downvotes on comments? Now that post editing is fixed that’s basically the only thing I keep going back to the PWA for.

    Much preferred the old inbox. If I get 5 replies to a comment I dont need to see the post title above all of them (I dont really want to see it above any of them.) I clicked the “show post titles in replies” option in the messaging options section to off but it made no difference.

      I’m wondering that also. The extra functionality is nice but it’s going to take some getting used to. I’ll adjust though
