    Yes it contains ads. I’d rather have a single purchase.

    But, DNS adblocking does remove the ads, just leave a grey box. It’s also definitely far more polished than any of the other Lemmy apps right now.

      Oh I thought it wasn’t implemented. I forgot I have dns ad blocking :) :)

      But this app is worth paying for if you like it. It’s also very cheap, something like 3 dollars or less per month.

        Haha yes me too. I thought “hmm guess he hasn’t quite implemented that yet” but of course I have DNS AdBlock. Nice to know that works (:

        It’s $1.99/month or $16.99/yr, which is waaayyy less than $3/month. Less than half that, if paid annually.

        I personally just don’t believe in subscriptions for apps. I’d rather just pay a fair amount up front. Especially since my usage patterns aren’t consistent (I may not use something for a good while but return to it later). Perpetual licenses are why I own such a large library of paid apps and why I’m okay with paying even if I might not really maximize my use of it today. It’s also why my Steam library is filled with games I don’t play… 😅.

      Beta update released within the last hour adds the option for lifetime ad removal.

      I don’t even have any grey boxes either. Where does the ad appear in the app?

          I don’t know why. I don’t have anything like that. 😅 I had been using sync pro for reddit. I have a similar look here. I am running adguard dns private dns for adblock. But it never removed the ad spaces in any app.

          Yeah I don’t even see ad spaces. I don’t think it is because of dns adguard. It never removed ad spaces. Just the ads. But right now I am having a clean experience with no ads or stuff.
