UnisonSync

Even upon first install and setting up everything perfectly, it bombs with a lock file error. Which is impossible to remove on non-rooted devices running android 6. Beyond this, the UI is very basic and limited, as others have noted. To add insult to injury, I was unable to get a second refund because I refunded once and rebought in a short time to try again.

Stay well clear doesn't run on Android 6.01 on a Nexus7, referencing files that don't exist. The author also doesn't appear to be around either :-(

UI is way too primitive, functions too limited, no way to preview before syncing and no option to sync local dirs. Nice idea, but you've got a long way to go before arriving where this needs to be.

usable, if you already know unison but be careful, the ocaml version used to compile unison on the server has to be the same as on android it's not good enough to have the same unison version my first unison version on my server was compiled with the latest stable unison version 4.x and I got constantly errors they vanished with an ocaml 3.x version used for my unison on server side please detect and remove stale locks within the gui, or you have to use -ingnorelocks, not a sane default for everyday use perfect, if I'm able to use more than only *one* profile

I was expecting the ability to set up multiple profiles for different directories (like in 'rsync backup for Android'). But apparently it allows only a single account to be set up an run at a time. Am I missing something here?

The opposite of self-explaining.

I have been generally happy with the app. However I updated to Android 6.0 recently and it is no longer working. It throws an error about a locked archive file, which as far as I can tell, does not exist.

Unfortunately, I think the intentions were in the right place, but one must know how to decode most of Unison's options as command line arguments to the program and supply those in the "GUI interface". The biggest drawback is the lack of profiles. Using the command line version of the program, it may be possible to use profiles, but this version does not allow for such. Moreover, it would seem if GUI version were simply designed to create "a profile" from the setup screen as opposed to creating each element to pass as a command line argument, this would have been a much easier task to implement. Have tested using multiple paths, multiple ignore paths, ssh to a specified port, and using a key, and the program does work; so at least there is that. Unfortunately, the interface could use a serious overhaul.

After the last update I forgot to generate/update new keys. Afterwards it is working perfectly fine. The one profile could be improved but if you want to sync your files without sharing them with any other service/server and keep your private files really private, then this is the way to go.

Thanks for creating this. Couldn't find proper place for reporting bugs. Loses output on rotation and screen blanking which is a bit annoying but not a showstopper. Automatically creating and sharing the key would be handy. Had issues with "Uncaught exception Sys_blocked_io". See https://alliance.seas.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/wiki/?n=Main.UnisonFAQTroubleshooting in older version.

Works well, but is crippled by its inability to create multiple profiles. This should be an easy fix, since it's built in to unison itself. If this changes, I'll change my rating to five stars. $6 is rather pricey for an app without this feature, especially considering that this app *doesn't* reproduce the lovely item-by-item conflict resolution of the desktop GUI.

The configuration is somewhat messy but that is a unison problem. You do need to know how to configure the far end to handle the ssh authentication, but I would assume that anyone running unison could do that. Having got it working I didn't want to alter anything, but is it/would it be possible to use a standard .prf file for the config?

Crashed on launch.
