I like many among you loved sync and am frustrated with the bugs and lack of updates. It seems LJ has all but abandoned the app, so I did some looking around on the business of sync apps Ltd and can see from public records in the UK that he is keeping the business up to date. So it seems he is fine with collecting passive income from ad revenue.

@[email protected] please just open source this app so the community can fix these bugs.

I myself have moved to thunder, very similar UX, lots of customization, and it’s open source.

    I’ve just installed thunder.

    Pros setup was super easy although it initially said my instance didnt exist then suddenly found it

    Cons Long pressing a comment and getting an overlay popup in order to upvote a comment is very annoying

    I’ll leave it installed but its not for me right now.

    Has anyone found anything else good ?

      I recommend Voyager. Also has an app. Same feature set as sync. Also with hide item on scroll.

      I tried Thunder but never vibed with personally. The by far best app for me after giving up on Sync was Summit. Which also, if you’re annoyed with ljdawson’s absence the Summit dev is like the polar opposite.

        I’ll second summit. Been using it for about 6 months or so. The app gets updated regularly and the dev is active.

      A lot of the long/short press stuff is configurable and gesture based (swiping left and right) is the fast way to interact. Which I was using the swiping on sync. Also configurable.

        OK so that works but is awfully clunky - swipe partway right to upvote and fully right to downvote as opposed to tapping on the up / down arrow.

        Yeah if that’s not configurable I’m out. And I’m damned if I can work out where to configure it

        EDIT

        OK, it’s settings, appearance, comments, show comments action buttons.

        With that usability hurdle cleared, OK, I’ll give it a burl

          Thanks for detailing where to find that.

          I was put off by the description of the app, but knowing that some customisation is possible means I’ll probably give it a go now.

        OK maybe I’m thick but that’s not what I see on my menu - I’m on android in case there’s an ios thing happening here.

        From the main screen there’s 5 buttons along the bottom - right hand one is settings.

        There is no comment option listed. If I go to general then there is a comment subsection (opposite order to above) but it only has comment sort, hide parent, enable comment navigation and combine fab & nav buttons.

        So is it one of the last two I need to change ?

          I’m on Android, too. I copied the link to the setting but it does indeed have the wrong text. No idea why and sorry about that!

          Clicking on the link in my comment using Thunder should let you jump straight to the setting.

          If that doesn’t work, it’s in Appearance, then Comments.
