I haven't tried Boost, but I swapped over to Summit and have been pleased with the experience. The thing I liked most about Sync was the amount of customization; Summit fills that space quite well.

Boost is nice but I can't deal with the lack of swipe gesture actions at this point in time. No other app has been a perfect substitute for Sync but after trying basically all of them I find Summit to be both the best right now but more importantly - the most promising for the future. Very active dev who is responsive and accommodating user requests.
Don't see how its better than sync. Just looks like less features.
I don't plan to switch but sync now has significantly less features since most are starting to not work. Sadly sync will be dead soon unless he comes back and does a pretty significant update. It's only going to be harder after that since people are dropping the insanely priced subscription which was meant to help maintain the app. He's lost the trust of his subscribers since it looks like he just took the money and dipped.
With that said its not uncommon to see him disappear then push an update quietly and become more active again. Without a doubt he's still watching what we are saying.
