Contacts Sync for Google Gmail 4+

Where has this app been all my life??? Perfectd for iPhones!!

I’ve now been using this app for almost two YEARS. If you use an email app tied to Google but keep your contacts in Apple’s Contacts app, it is essential for them to sync, since new or revised emails addresses that you load into your Apple Contacts are fetched by your iPhone from Gmail, not from the Apple Contacts. This app makes this constant self-syncing a piece of cake. Be sure to backup your Contacts before using this in case you screw up (I did backup but didn’t screw up), but you’ll be very pleased with the results. It syncs everything in your Apple Contacts including your notes, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. I also couldn’t be happier!!

Licensing Issues

First, I'll say that the application itself works wonderfully for the most part. The only quirk that you must get used to is the fact that it doesn't show as an "application" in the dock, such as other applications would. It only shows in the top status bar, along with other icons near to the clock.

Now, on to my problem related to the licensing. I will revise/remove this rating if the developer fixes this problem. But just recently, the app began to request my purchase of an additional unlock on the already full-version purchased application. Unless I give in to the demands, it will only synchronize 40 of my contacts. I have attempted to contact the developer for support on this, but I wanted to leave this review for anyone else who may be in the same boat. It is somewhat confusing because there is another application, Synctastic, by the same developer. This app appears in the "related" list and may lead one to believe that they didn't really purchase the full-version.

And the developers response that the licensing issue is fixed with 7.1.2 is not correct. I'll be forced to pay for it again if I want to use it.

Developer Response ,

I take every customer support request seriously, as I really care about helping each and every customer. It's my honor to help my customers. I'm one of the few developers that responds to support requests. So within days of Josh's initial email, I took prompt action and updated the app for Josh to fix the licensing issue. After that, Josh still said that he was having trouble, and so I offered to diagnose the problem further. It's most likely a simple issue, such as Josh mistakenly confusing Contacts Sync with one of my related apps. Josh has not responded to my offer for additional help.

Almost Perfect, Pretty Close

I love this app. Especially with the ability to sync contacts between my two different Google Contact accounts is phenomenal. Still don't understand about syncing with Apple Contacts since I think Messanger uses that but not sure.

The "almost perfect" a killer additioin would be the ability to delete the same address that show up multiple times within contacts that have gone through a lot of syncing. For some reasons these just show up. That would be a great app.

I view this app is indispensable. Thank you Folks, great job!
