      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

      Ppl said the same about Sync but I’m still using it after using my play credit to pay for the ad free version 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Lol I’m sure you have an app on your phone that does worse

      Hell, Android itself probably does worse lmao

        We do what we can. Privacy is not go full on paranoid or go home. I might have worse data collecting pos apps that I definitely need on my device but I at least use FOSS softwares from Fdroid whenever I can. It helps.

          And? It’s silly to bail on an app you’ve been waiting for months for because “data collection” lmao (Data collection that was probably in the original boost anyways lolol)

            Why is that silly? It’s an individual choice, but for many of us that’s a huge turn off when we are striving for less of that in the world and there are alternatives.

            rofl one can still try to minimise data collection as a whole. Because one party spies on me, I don’t have to let everyone do it. Lmao. You’re just bringing whataboutism to a legitimate concern. Lel
