Let’s face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It’s no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there’s no indication the dev is still active.
Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn’t change as much.
Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They’ll possibly buy this app before noticing that it’s subtly broken.
Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don’t fall into the same trap.
Hmm that must be something different then, I can refresh a bunch and it will finish loading in under 1 second (so it doesn’t seem like it’s timing out or it would take several seconds at least) and it will just say “There are no comments”, even though the comment count will show comments. I can go to any other thread and see comments and go back and the bugged threads stay empty.
