Yea I’ve tried every app and there’s just nothing as smooth as the sync app. Tossing an independent dev $20 a year for something I’m getting thousands of hours of use out of is a no brainer. I give Netflix more every month and don’t get nearly as much value. Too many people expect to get everything for free.
This paid vs open source thing is silly. They are not antonyms. You can still charge for an open source app. But being open source would make it user auditable so that we know what they are doing with our data.
The point is that with a closed source app your only support for that statement is trust in the developer, while if it was open source we would actually be able to confirm that.

It’s true. I just view it as a donation or a convenience fee for not having to build the app yourself from source.
Sync dev has made it incredibly clear what data is being recorded and it’s only because of Google ads
