    TrackerControl is amazing. It is what I use to kick out or keep apps. Yeah, sync gave me the chills. Deleted it right away

      Unfortunately I did the same after reading the privacy policy and seeing that there are 2 versions of the app for GDPR compliance. Like, obviously GDPR is the most user friendly of the two and yet it’s minimally applied where only necessary, even though the capability already exists.

      I get needing money because you wrote the app, but it rubbed me the wrong way and I uninstalled even though I use an app on my phone that blocks this stuff anyways.

        I liked Sync for Reddit, but the fact that the dev decommed the old app and made people pay a 2nd time for the ad-free version means I’ll probably not support them going forward. That sort of GDPR shit just adds to that feeling.

      Same here. It was both the fastest I’ve ever downloaded an app and the fastest I’ve ever deleted an app.
