I don’t like the lack of transparency with how the Google Play Store doesn’t list the permissions if one pays for the app and instead only shows the permissions if one doesn’t pay.
I generally prefer it when devs release two apps – a free version and a paid version. This way it’s very clear on the Google Play Store what is being tracked in the paid app.
This won’t affect me personally, but I am curious if others would be more likely to use and pay for Sync if the permissions were more clear for the paid usage case.

alternative link to same comment. I really wish there was a better way to link to comments that’s instance agnostic…
Thanks. Didn’t realize it didn’t work
I’d settle for more transparency from the dev about what happens with your data when you pay. Is it still collected?
LJ has stated nothing is collected once you pay as the ad library is no longer initialized. Other users were able to confirm that no more tracking requests were made after ad free/ultra were purchased.
I saw a post somewhere saying he personally doesnt track anything. Im guessing all the tracking is likely being done by whomever his ad provider is.
Google. It’s the same privacy policy that was in Sync for Reddit and is in the Play Store
I tested this yesterday. There were zero hits in TrackerControl with ads removed.
Nope
