You can't change the primary background color outside of theme presets? That means I can't make it dark and pink, which is a deal breaker when I have such a gorgeous Sync theme going. I'll keep it downloaded, though. There were things I liked about it for reddit. I may come back around.

Thank shit lol. I'm a kbin guy so I'm still gonna wait a while for the kbin API to come out before I can use it with my main account, but at least its out and I can use it with a compatible one in the meantime! I left Sync for Boost (with Reddit lol) and I'm glad this is here now.
No thanks, I used to use boost for reddit and I loved it.
But now on lemmy, there are FOSS apps that are just as good I'd rather donate to.
I wish it had swipe to up vote and downvote but other than that I love the aesthetics.
Hell yes! Been waiting for this
I love Boost, I bought it for Reddit. However, I got used to Connect now. The swipe to upvote and hide are intuitive to me now.
the old app that still retains its old feature from Reddit that have been reborn and it is first Lemmy client that support widget. wow!!
I was waiting for this app to release before I even signed up to be honest!

Has anyone figured out how to change the default feed? I'm not subscribed to any communities, so I always open to a blank page before switching to all.
Restore purchase feature needs to be added, couldn't "rebuy" it on a second device.

First post from Boost for Lemmy! π
And thus begins my journey into lemmy
Like it so far, will save up rewards to get it ad-free
I was a Boost for Reddir user, now I'm using wefwef. Works for me, not sure if I have a reason to go back to Boost.
Best app. I want it on iPhone.
I'm really happy with the interface to be honest, I was using Voyager up until now but Boost is my new go to!
Alive as their abusive data collection.
The dev has responded on that issue
What did he say?
"Dev here.
The dialog and its content is not created by me, it is a standard solution from Google to comply with GDPR and other laws. More info here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/10114014?hl=en
The consent dialog is also required by Google AdMob to show ads, and it is shown when the ad network is initialized.
When the app launches, first it checks for the remove ads purchase, and if it is not present, it will initialize the ads sdk. The ad network is not initialized if the remove ads purchase is detected.
Boost for Reddit was using the very same ad networks and consent dialog. "
