What a glorious day
I wanted to try Boost then saw the data collection and noped out.
If you pay for ad-free the admob library isn’t loaded
I just used my play store credit. Easy peasy lemon squeezy
It’s literally less than most cups of coffee to correct that issue forever. Ad supported software is standard practice for the last 20+ years, having the option to cheaply opt out of it completely is actually uncommon and shouldn’t be completely glossed over like it doesn’t matter.
It’s bloody brilliant. Better than any of the other apps I tried.
I’m glad you enjoy it. I’m not going to gatekeep what apps people use.
That’s bog standard admob. If you have ANY app with ads on your phone you have already agreed to all of that so it’s moot.
I just paid for it the moment I bought it because I want to support Ruben. Fantastic dev overall, anytime I had an issue with the reddit version he personal would respond and either patch it himself or already have an answer
The paid version doesn’t have admob library
Yeah I’m more than willing to pay for apps, but I hate spyware. I wish instead of ads there was just like a $5-10 price, or a subscription of like $2 a month or something along those lines. (Idk what the actual cost to develop the app is, I’m just spitballing prices)
fuck subscription services
With a capital F
If you hate ads, but you also don’t want to pay a subscription, then what you’re really saying is “fuck developers”.
Fuck developers who implement subscription services

I’d rather pay 100 bucks for something and own it for life than pay 0.99 a month and lose it when their servers go down
The data collection is just for the ad-supported version.
Ok that’s a little better than I thought it was. However it is still proprietary, so you just have to trust the dev collection is turned off.
Ppl said the same about Sync but I’m still using it after using my play credit to pay for the ad free version 🤷🏻♂️
All that is removed with the pro version, but I understand the hesitation.

Lol I’m sure you have an app on your phone that does worse
Hell, Android itself probably does worse lmao
Bad day for the flower. Bet it was tasty to mister bunny
Summarizes the hiking experience
I’m loving it, finally
I’m reading that with boost and I love it
I’m happy with Eternity
Exactly why I have this account now
Quick curious question.
Yesterday, my Android phone showed that Boost was installed by auto-scrolling to my 3rd home screen where there was space, but I didn’t ask to install it. What could’ve caused this to happen?
Pixel 6 Pro, Android 13
I use base Sync for Lemmy
Did you sign up for it. I “preordered” it off the app store so the moment it was available it installed itself.
It’s possible I did so months ago, but I can’t be for sure 🤷♂️🤦♂️
That’s the only thing that would make sense. Apps don’t install themselves without any request.
And if they do, it’s high time for a factory wipe
Pretty sure it only asks if you install via 3rd party stores like Fdroid, not the play store.
I can see it in the Play Store
Oh, then we mean something else. Idk what could be up.
And then the fox grabbed it
Fox: What a beautiful day. Shit it’s good to be alive
And then the eagle swooped in…
It’s the ciiiiircle of life!

“It’s just bog standard spyware”
You’re not making your case here buddy.
“Other people have opinions ew”
That’s bog standard admob. If you have ANY app with ads on your phone you have already agreed to all of that so it’s moot. For you to say it’s obscene levels is hilarious because no, that’s just admob. Many apps have way worse, all this is just, again, the basic Google analytics bullshit that’s already happening on your phone if you have Google software installed.
I just paid for it the moment I bought it because I want to support Ruben. Fantastic dev overall, anytime I had an issue with the reddit version he personal would respond and either patch it himself or already have an answer
The paid version doesn’t have the admod library
