Comments
- Works perfect. I love the fact that the app is light weight and does its job perfectly. Note to the developer, please don't make the app bulky in future with more themes and images and stuff, keep it simple as it is now. The only additional feature I want to see is in the windows program to display a pop up when there is a syncing conflict to manually chose entry from device or outlook. Also adding more views/ sorting options in tasks app would be great. Edit: 09/08/12: 2 improvements I would like to see: 1) Easy way to mark the task as complete. With current implementation, I have to open a task, and select completed from within the individual task to mark it as complete. If I have to mark 5 task as complete, I have to open each task and mark it as complete. It will be useful if I can mark them with a check-mark from the main tasks window. 2) The current search functionality searches among all tasks, pending and completed tasks. I mostly want to search only within uncompleted tasks. i.e. search for "pending calls" within uncompleted task and not with task that I already marked it as complete. This might not be issue with people with less task but I have 700+ tasks.
- Just use it to sync Outlook Tasks and Notes - it's smooth and works! Tasks has a straight-up, logical interface - tried many others (no, don't want to share my tasks with others, don't want to see a minute by minute edit log, no don't want to sign up to yet another service-- and google tasks just does not cut it). One can control what syncs (eg not contacts or calendar, just tasks and categories). Sync by usb or wifi. App required on PC to sync - read developer's instructions - straight forward. No ads.
- This app is great! Thanks dev! One word of caution, though: be sure to check your sync settings carefully before you start. If you have a mistake, it will sync perfectly but the wrong way if you don't pay attention. I was an idiot the first time I used it, not paying enough attention to the directory direction and lost all my contacts that I wanted to sync "from" instead of "to" :-( Definitely my mistake, not the developer's, but I now make sure to check and to backup first;-)
- August-2012: Updated to 5 stars from an initial 3 stars and an upgrade to 4 stars in May 2012. This app has gotten much better once it is installed. Looking at other reviews, I believe there may still be work to do in helpfully instructing people on how to install and run this. It wasn't very intuitive for me and the videos did not help much to me. It took a lot of effort to get it up and running, but now it works very well.
- Very useful on Galaxy Nexus. Because the default MTP usb transfer on Galaxy Nexus is plain stupid, for changing the date modified of files. While this app, is using ADB to transfer, and it works without changing date modified. It's super useful for photos gallery thing (stock gallery is sorted by date), and it wont messed that up. 5 stars, and recomending this app to everyone, especialy Galaxy Nexus users.
- I have S3 with Outlook 2010 and works perfectly. May be for a dummy (novice) user will not so easy the set up...but It is worth, even better than commercial or proprietary solutions. the sync trough wi fi work excellent you do not need usb connections. I tested many solutions to sync outlook with my Android...but I am sure that Local Sync is the best.
- Changing from my old Palm to new phone systems was always postponed due to limitation of standard pim apps. Now I can use again tasks and notes with categories. Only request is cycling through categories having at least one item by a simple button like in Palm. Easier than always setting filter.
- I need to sync contact and calendar info with Outlook and don't put data on cloud services. Samsung Kies has always been unreliable. This app works every time. For installation, read the whole page before starting. Some info out of order.
- Was looking almost everywhere for a seamless, stable calendar, task, memo app and almost gave up...until I found Local sync. Thank you for providing an app (via usb or wifi) that syncs Outlook to my Samsung Galaxy S 2 X without fail !
- I like it when an app doesn't have too many extra bells and whistles. No ads no wizards nothing you don't need. Gets the job done simply every time. Favorite feature: scan QR code to initiate sync. Fast and easy.
