Will there be a pro version without in-app purchase like there was before? If I could avoid the in-app purchase I’d prefer it. There where weekly threads on Reddit when the in-app version failed to work correctly and I never had any problem with the pro version.

Not planning to. Last year Sync for Reddit had issues with Google as they’re clamping down on apps that are similar from the same developer.
Does that mean there’s only going to be a subscription based “pro” version?
I was a Pro user on reddit, but I’m not really interested in yet another subscription, even though I understand that may be financially attractive for you. I’d be happy to make a one-time purchase, though.
It’ll be the same pricing model. Ultra is a subscription, pro is lifetime. It’ll just be an in-app purchase now.
Makes sense if that’s the case. Thanks.
OK, that’s good. I was kinda worried that subscription would be the only option.
Will Pro become available as IAP, though? I’d maybe specify this. I did read this whole thread as if Pro was cancelled altogether.
Can you do a separate app that acts like a licence key, they way apps like FX Explorer does it? Or does that have the same (or other) issue?
I’m in support of a separate pro version of the app. As a compromise, this could work, too. Though, I would prefer an app without any ad libraries whatsoever.
Why do you think this is? Are they pushing for IAPs instead of pro/lite versions of apps? Do you think this is a good or bad move?
Not really sure. Took over a month to resolve last time though
Guess the other issue is that IAP bypasses family library so each member of your family group needs to cough up.
That’s a shame. Fuck’s sake google :(
Probably a good idea, so many people gave you misdirected grief over that
What was the point of having two different versions anyways instead of having one with an IAP?
I like the feeling of a clean app that doesn’t have any ad integration at all.
If I remember correctly pro came out before IAP was a thing.
The in-app purchases can be buggy with amnesia hitting them once a while, making you install/reinstall just so google remembers you purchased pro. This happens when you have more than 1 google accounts on android.
Another reason may have been due to the in app purchase stuffing up sometimes. I believe it was a Google thing, but iirc sometimes it would just forget you’d bought pro within the app and start showing ads again.
I remember gravity box had a Paypal donation link and pro would be unlocked with your payment code. Not sure if Google Play allows this as it bypasses their 30%
Donation links are a violation of Google’s T&C and will get an app banned.
How does it work for apps that are a part of other services?
Say a company has an app available to all customers that pay for some unrelated service, it would be weird to require them to do the transaction over Google Play?

Apart from removing ads I don’t really need anything from ultra. I’d be happy to pay one off fee, but I won’t be doing subscription.
This. I want to just pay a one off fee and remove the ads and donate as necessary.
If and when pro becomes available, I’m in. I’m in regardless, but will pay for pro if available.
The subscription model is a turn off.
