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

It’s a nice app, but so is Jerboa, which does not have ads. If there was a one-time ad-free purchase; I would strongly consider it; but I’m not going to pay a subscription to avoid ads on an already ad-free website.

It’s out now, and it’s $20. Way too steep of a price for me.

That makes me nervous for how much he’s going to charge… I paid like $8 for the last one I used on reddit for ten years.

How is it “in the works”? It’s not hard to implement, seeing as how he already did it.

And no timeline when it’s coming just a promise it will?

Sounds more like he just wants to test the waters and see what he can make.

Because he prioritized his time in getting the application usable rather than implementing various tiers of payments instead.

One of the messages to the discord this morning seems to indicate he’s planning on adding the one time ad-free unlock today.

The dev don’t want to charge money while the app is still buggy. The subscription option is there for the die hard fans who keep pestering him to let them send their money. If it weren’t for people pestering him, the option to subscribe is probably not even offered right now.

If it’s not so hard then why aren’t you making your own awesome app in your free time and giving it away without ads?

I believe the developer is working on a one-time payment Pro version that removes ads. Ultra has additional features for a subscription fee.

I bought it. I want to support LJ. He’s doing a great job and really got shafted by reddit.

This is also the dev that got really hurt over his paying customers not liking when he completely changed the app they paid for under their nose with no option to roll back, and quit pushing updates for a while after that. It was a whole thing.

I’m not paying a dev that can’t handle feedback and has an entire fanclub cheering on literally every single decision.
