Is the subscription the only way to remove ads? (lemm.ee)

Is there a one time payment option to remove ads?

Or is sync ultra the only way to remove ads?

I would love to support sync, but the subscription fatigue is real.

Honestly I would prefer to be able to buy a separate "Pro" version from the Play Store, without an in-app purchase. There have been issued in the past where in-app purchases didn't get recognized or when ads suddenly started appearing for people who bought the ad removal option.

He said that this won't happen because when developers publish "copies" of apps Google sees it as "abuse".

That doesn't mean it won't ever happen again. I just have less trust in an IAP model. It's inherently more fragile because it does a license status check with Google every time you launch it, whereas a one time purchased app doesn't need to ask permission.
