From Spanning Sync:
Synchronize Google Calendar and Apple iCal. Share calendars between multiple Macs. Share calendars with your coworkers, family, and friends. And while you're at it, connect Google Calendar to your iPod, mobile phone, and other devices.
The Best of Both Worlds
What if you could combine Google Calendar's powerful sharing features, Gmail integration, and notifications with iCal's beautiful interface and offline operation? Now you can.
With Spanning Sync, your iCal calendars are kept in sync with Google Calendar, which means you can use the best features of both to manage your schedule.
Supports Google Apps for Your Domain
Spanning Sync offers full support for Google Apps for Your Domain. So whether your organization is a one-person company or a 40,000-person university, your enterprise calendars are seamlessly connected to your Macs.
Multiple Macs, One Set of Calendars
If you're lucky enough to have more than one Mac, keeping your data organized can be a challenge. But Spanning Sync makes it simple to organize your calendars. Just sync your iCal calendars on all of your Macs to the same Google Calendar account. That way whether you're using your Mac Pro at work, your iMac at home, or your MacBook on the go, your calendars are always up to date. And since Spanning Sync is licensed per-person not per-computer, you can install it on as many Macs as you like.

"Used to be Reliable"
Version: Spanning Sync 3.1.2
Pros
I used to swear by Spanning Sync - it was seamless.
Cons
Over the last 2 months it has been unreliable. The developer swears it is a Google issue, but the fact remains that my CalDAV syncing works and the Spanning Sync does not (most of the time now).
Summary
Save your money and search Google to see how to sync for free.

I've been using spanning sync on Snow Leopard to sync iCal with Google Calendar. It works really well and allows me to organise my life at home and at work. To save $5 on the price of spanning sync use this discount code: E9P3TM

"I disagree with the support comment below"
Version: Spanning Sync 3.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've only been using Spanning Sync v3 for a short time. Tested it, and then bought it. I use it to sync my MacPro and my MacBook Pro and my Blackberry (SO much more reliable and less time consuming than troubleshooting Missing Sync!)
During the testing process I had several questions for the developer that received responses within 24 hours - maximum. I got a couple of responses within a couple of hours! After my purchase, I had one more issue - a corruption of my internal files (not a fault of Spanning Sync, but rather, Apple's Sync Services). The next day, I got a response from the developer with specific resolution instructions, and a request to contact him back, if the problem persisted. The first suggested resolution did solve the problem.
I can't completely attest to Spanning Sync yet - I don't use it for contacts yet, only iCal, but I've found that so far it's reliable. BUT, the customer support is superb, IMO.
I just had to make sure people saw the other side of the story. -
"DO NOT UPGRADE TO VERSION 3"
Version: Spanning Sync 3.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been a user for nearly a year and was happy with the product. Version 3 does not work properly despite removing and re-installing. I have attempted to contact developer now four times and have had NO RESPONSE!!! do not upgrade at this time!!! -
"Spanning Sync has made me much more organized"
Version: Spanning Sync 2.1.3
Pros
Works in the background and consumes no extra resources. Contacts are backed up and if phone is lost you may restore them. Possible discount of 5$ by using spanning sync discount code TRNNXX. ICal, Google Cal and Spanning Sync love each other. Ideal!
Cons
To-do sync is not supported. It is google's mistake as they have not facilitated this option.
Summary
I love Spanning Sync! I downloaded the trial version and after using it for that period was so pleased with the program that purchased the yearly subscription. Not a single problem! Works perfectly with google, and mac. Furthermore, if syncronising with a cell phone live becomes much more organized. I recommend it! I found a discount code for spanning sync and used it to save 5$. Now I'm sharing my discount code for spanning sync to save you 5$. The discount code is: TRNNXX.
Best wishes,

"WARNING - Will not uninstall completely!"
Version: Spanning Sync 2.1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Did not work all that well. The big problem came when I wanted to remove it. The uninstaller leaves the Spanning Sync icon in the system preferences. When you click on it, you get Preferences Error: "You cannot open Spanning Sync preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac". Searching on Spanning finds no files to delete.
And the final straw, there is no email link to ask questions at the site. Just useless FAQs. -
"Good but too expensive for me!"
Version: Spanning Sync 2.0b352
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
No question that this is nicely implemented, but the price is not warranted. Have been testing BusySync http://busymac.com/index.html and I have to say I am more than happy with it AND the price. -
"Simple, Easy, Quick and It Works!"
Version: Spanning Sync 2.0b347
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It works flawlessly for me. It syncs the Address Book with GMail Contacts better than anything else I have tried. The ability to sync multiple iCal calendars with Google Calendar counterparts is brilliant. I can't say enough good things about it. If you are like me and you organize yourself around Google Mail and Calendar, this is the product for you! Bravo! -
"Great product before Google offers native syncing"
Version: Spanning Sync 2.0b346
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've used Spanning Sync without a problem for a couple months now. I swear by it and think it's definitely worth the price of admission -- at least until Google supports native iCal syncing! -
"It works"
Version: Spanning Sync 2.0b335
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
And the developer is very, very responsive when it has issues.
