I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

You've been able to pay for ads to go away for about the last 16hrs, the update to B25 dropped last night.

The original plan was not to release version like that until it was more polished, but the masses have spoken and been listened to almost immediately.

In terms of data collection, LJD is literally just bothered about Crashlytics.
