SyncCell - Outlook/Lotus Sync for Android
This is a simple app that works every time with Outlook and Android. I run it in the background 5am every day and my appts. are updated perfectly. I would give 5 full stars - but their support is lacking - I had one issue, still unresolved, three emails and no response.
Worked well right off the bat and with some tweaking in the settings, have it behaving just as I would like. Relatively pricey, but well worth it if you are using Lotus notes. I do wish it would synch the personal journal in Notes, since Lotus Traveler abandoned that feature. Having the Notes calendar in the android calendar is far superior to the Lotus traveler calendar since it will actually get your attention about appointments instead of just barely letting you know Update: I have since reported a problem. When synching Lotus entries with no reminder, it always puts in a 0 minute reminder. Thus is wakes me up at midnight nearly every day to let me know about my "all day" entries that I have entered for the next day (with no reminder in Notes). This is very annoying and I have reported it twice to the developer with no response
Bought this after being frustrated with Syncing my Samsung and the Program worked a treat! Easy to use and unproblematic!! Thanks SyncCell!!
Highly recommended for Droid Razr. Being a bluetooth idiot and gun-shy from past experience, I was worried. After working through the bluetooth issues with Verizon tech support (didn't need help afterall), I installed and ran this application with zero issues. I bought it because the vendor "guarantees" that my calendar and contacts won't be trashed, unlike the others (including Verizon's recommended favoriate). It's true, and I can't believe how quickly it synchs my huge contact database. In fact, I'm still double-checking because "it can't be that fast."
The answer to years of frustration with complex & ineffective sync solutions for Outlook & Droid. Hands down, best app I have purchased this year.
Syncs my PC Outlook to my phone via my Google account. It took a while to setup as there are lots of sync options - but got there in the end. No need to connect PC to phone as it syncs direct to my Google account & my phone syncs contacts & calender via Wifi/3G. Highly recommended.
Worth knowing that when setting up the time zone on an Android phone it is the Google calendar settings that govern, not Outlook or the PC' s.
But definitely making my life easier! Not sure if it is syncing my tasks or email. I'll try and figure that out soon. Overall, pleased!
Just plain works!
After doing a lot of research this app seemed to be the most effective and it is! Android have big issues syncing outlook and Google calendars but this app bridges the two perfectly. Small improvements could be auto sync after outlook calendar has been modified or auto sync when closing outlook. But setting to sync every 90 mins works well for me too. Love this app!!!
Dont buy

Google has changed its calendar on the 17th of November 2014 by getting rid of V2 of the Google calendar. This app is written to the V2 version of the Google calendar, hence it no longer works. An update is required immediately to rectify the problem so syncing can resume. PLEASE UPDATE THE SOFTWAERE AND RECTIFY THE ISSUE!!!
