Please give Sync a bad rating on the Play Store (lemmy.world)

Let's face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It's no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there's no indication the dev is still active.

Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn't change as much.

Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They'll possibly buy this app before noticing that it's subtly broken.

Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don't fall into the same trap.

I don't believe I've set anything specifically for it, but a single tap on an image goes full screen.

    Hmm, maybe I need to take another look through my settings (or perhaps I didn't clearly enunciate my issue), because when I click a thumbnail in my main feed it opens the link, rather than a larger version of the image.

    I miss Sync for that singular feature of press+holehold on a thumbnail in the feed to show a full size image of said thumbnail.

    That happens for me for any link that can't be handled in Voyager, but I think when it comes to images the thumbnail doesnt load either....

    Out of curiosity, is it maybe your instance and how its caching? Have you tried other instances? Let me grab a random post that works for me as an example.

    https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37713149 works for me for reference. Tap and right to fill screen.

    Edit: BTW, tapping these images will also go full screen. Not sure if you have that issue with embedded so figured I'd mention.

    This post is a link to an image rather than an image uploaded to an instance like the one you linked - in sync, you can just press the thumbnail to see it full screen (not at full resolution, but high enough). Voyager correctly loads the thumbnail, but I don't see a way to expand the image without opening the webpage.

    I assume that's what they're talking about. I'd also like the same...
