••• SYNC GOOGLE & MAC, or 2 GOOGLE ACCOUNTS!
••• SYNCS AUTOMATICALLY!
••• #1 IN DOWNLOADS & REVIEWS FOR 10+ YEARS!
With Contacts Sync, you can quickly & easily sync your Google & Mac contacts, giving you access to your contacts wherever you go. This app distinguishes itself with its reliability, ease of use, speed, and with a true "2-way sync" that merges changes made to both your Gmail & Mac contacts. This is the #1 app for syncing Google contacts with Mac both in terms of downloads & reviews.
New for 2021, the app now allows you to sync 2 Google accounts with each other, so you can share the same contacts between a personal Google account and a work Google account, for example!
Also of significance, this app syncs contact groups with Google. For instance, you may have organized your Google contacts into groups such as "friends," "family," and "coworkers." After syncing, your Mac groups will match your Google groups.
With the customizability that this app provides, it can be used in a number of creative ways. For example, you can backup your Mac contacts to Google, you can sync iCloud or Exchange contacts with Google, or you can perform syncs in one direction only (such as Google to Mac).

Continues to be my MOST loved app.

Honestly, I could not manage without this app. I have had it for at least 10 years. Since the original purchase, I’ve never had an issue, never wanted to “shop” for a different solution. because this does everything as promised. It is, truly, THE solution to syncing contacts.No more nightmares. Since I’m not that tech-savvy, I love it. I am not required to have a PhD in Syncing. The app does that for me and my contacts are synced perfectly between Apple and Google accounts. Literally, a “set it and forget it” must-have for me.NEW USERS please note that this developer is highly responsive with replies, bug fixes, upgrades as needed. That’s what makes this app so superior.

Licensing Issues
Josh_KY
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.

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!

This app corrects a macOS bug!

At some point in the past year my Google contacts would no longer appear on eithe of my two Macs. I was keeping all of my contacts only in Google so this presented a problem with Messages and other Contacts dependant apps. I decided to try this app and now all of my Google contacts and groups are successfully syncing with my iCloud contacts. I did remove the Google Contacts connection from my settings to avoid duplicates.Keep in mind, to sync more than 40 contacts you’ll need to upgrade for $5. Well worth it in my opinion.
* Further optimized for macOS Tahoe
