Synker - The Sync Widget

Turning on auto sync was absolutely unnecessary for me. I just want my contacts to get synced once in a while and I did not want to go through all the steps to manually sync it. Synker gives you better control and helps a lot to save battery. My total screen time has increased by atleast an hour now. You can also integrate synker with Tasker for this to be done automatically. This is a must have for saving battery. Highly recommended.

I've never had a problem with this app on KitKat or Lollipop (knock). It was probably the first plugin I used for Tasker, and I still use it (once an hour). The fact that it hasn't been updated in so long can be a bit worrisome. But as long as it keeps working, let it ride!

I paid for the key hoping to find a way to turn push notifications off based on location or connection to certain WiFi. It didn't work but before I Uninstalled it a minute later I didn't change the auto sync settings back. So I had to re-download and pay to see auto sync as an option to click.

Now it crashes when I try to select what to sync from my long list.

Turn off battery-killing auto sync and use this! Even syncs Contacts on my Samsung tablets, which I could never get to work right.

I believe there may be an issue with the Play Store and installation.

It's great. It does the job simply and effectively. I used to keep tapping it because I thought it wasn't responding but actually it is - you only need to tap it once!

Settings not user friendly. Lots of errors without global sync off. Waste of money. Simple but those few options are difficult to navigate. No option for refund?

A splendid app indeed - especially good for devices which are either a bit slow or long in the tooth. We've used it with great success on a Cubot P9 and an HTC Desire C, both of which struggle under mild loading when the default account sync settings are left enabled. Now both devices are a whole lot more responsive because they are only synchronising when we want them to - as opposed to leaving the system to figure it out. ** Just remember that the sync notification service is not required for some devices e.g. HTC because it's already built-in.** Thanks for publishing this app .

Works great AFTER you figure out that you MUST create a new widget on the desktop that actually does the sync. The widget that appears on the desktop after installation is useless and really only needs to be on the apps screen. Once you create a new widget, you can configure it up to selectively sync whatever you need.

I believe there may be an issue with the Play Store and installation.

Used to be good --- Developer not updated since 2013 --- Can't even put a titled shortcut on my Note3'es screen anymore. Off to look for an alternative that still gets updated.

Good way to save battery by turning off auto-sync and manually syncing everything using a single tap on the widget.

It's always been such that I keep my auto Sync option switched off to conserve battery. On a click of this widget on home screen of my kit kat phone could Sync data instantly esp Gmail. Excellent app to conserve battery so that I can sync only when I require. Sync Animation of widget on home screen is an eye candy.

I can't seem to force my email account to sync if syncing of the account is disabled in the android settings. That is what forcing means, right? I am on Android 5.0.1 on my Galaxy Note 4.

More data! Quick easy, only get stuff when I want it!

Trying to control sync settings for individual accounts with tasker, which partially works, except for with my Outlook account, which is the only thing I actually wanted to control the syncing on.

DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO BE DUMB???? BRILLIANT MISTAKE.....

seems to work fine but, no complaints here but, when was the last time you updated this app?? 2013?

Been using it for years. Would love to see more animations

App is fine, but mortification service not working stable on 5.1.1.

Using Synker & AutoLocation as Tasker Plugins, my phone only checks my work email when I am close to or at work. Great plugin so I bought the unlock key. Thank you for a great plugin!

obviously with the KitKat OS there are some issues that need addressing. but that aside, shouldn't the widget be given the ability to override the system and temporarily enable the device's auto-sync in the event that the user has it disabled to conserve battery? love the sync animation of the widget immensely though. just think this what i mentioned may improve the functionality of the widget.

This is a slim wrapper around features you already have on your phone. It is not an alternative to the built-in sync. It's another way to get to the same checkboxes you already have in your system settings.

It does all just try and add it to main icons instead of home screen

Why Google has not made negative star for such application. After 10 days of usage it doesn't syncs and asking to Pay and use. Also the application is 3rd class. the developer has built nothing in it and uses android own system to sync.

Pretty good integration with Tasker. I use it to disable work email sync while I am at work, so I don't get notifications on two fronts. Could maybe do with a option to toggle a single account on/off, rather than having to set them all.

Doesnt work

This Widget works great. It does what it says it does. I would recommend using this widget if your phone doesn't have it's own sync widget.

Cool

THANKS!

Especially with addition to xposed services WE don't want, but overall always been a good tool even without this.

Most of the features in "Description" are completely unavailable without purchase of unlock key. Deceptive practices = 1 star.

Even basic functionality needs a key... Don't mind paying for a good app but this needs to be made clear on the store. Uninstalling on principle.

Does what it says

Latest update screwed everything out doesn't work anymore io error both in Nexus 7 and Nexus 5

Great

Great app

Must have
