••• 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).

Honestly, I could not manage without this app. I have had it since it was first developed, back when Mac and Google Contacts never played nice together (for a non-tech type). I have literally 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.Now, suddenly, Apple (I’ve had Macs since they were first invented - that’s how old I am). Apple has figured out how to play nice with Google Contacts. But I don’t care. From the very beginning, ZenDesk has created ContactsSync for The Rest of Us (remember that, from Apple?). I did not need an advanced degree to make it work. It JUST WORKS. Loyalty seems to be a thing of the past, but not for me. I am loyal to THIS product in the same way that I am loyal to APPLE. Except that ContactsSync has always worked, and I’ve never needed to call and expert, whining for help.I really dislike Apple’s explanation of how to make contacts from different sources work together. Even if Apple figures out how to make this easy For The Rest of Us, I’m not turning away from a product that has made my business and personal life easier for so many years.ZenDesk is highly responsive with replies, bug fixes, upgrades as needed. Superior.

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.
One of the most necessary and best apps I have!

I wrote this review quite a while back: "I use this app all the time to keep my Google contacts in sync on my Mac. It works very well, and I’m extremely happy with it. Furthermore, if I ever have a question or need assistance the developer is responsive and thorough.”And today I’m just following up to reiterate how great this app is. It’s helped me keep all of my contacts organized now for quite a few years. I’m still a happy customer and certainly plan on using this one for the foreseeable future. Way to go Playa Apps!!
