Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the "why" I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts "consent" whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the "legitimate" interest which is, let's be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That's put me right off in all honesty sorry.

Then there's me, who actively went hunting for where I could pay for this app as soon as I opened it

This dev has never been anything but respectful of his community. I have no qualms paying him the equivalent of 2 beers a year for something I have used for multiple hours a day every day for more than a decade. Easy value proposition.

The targeted ads thing I guess I get, but I haven't had ads on Sync for so long it honestly didn't really phase me because I planned to buy ad free anyway. Hopefully that bit gets streamlined.
