User Reviews

• Works well.

  surfinglife20December 24, 2017

  Pros

  Works with my Galaxy S8 when Samsung's own app didn't.

  Cons

  When testing this app I could not figure out how to sync notes. Not a big deal to me.

• Not perfect, but probably as best as you can get

  dnetNubyDecember 7, 2017

  Pros

  From all that I've read, syncing between Outlook on the computer and different smartphones is very hard to get right, especially if you want to avoid the cloud and the internet for security reasons. AkrutoSync seems to have gotten it right in terms of reliable functionality. It works when it has to...almost all of the time, which is way better than most alternatives. There is, however some oddity with syncing Outlook notes. The font on the phone becomes microsize Times Roman rather than normal-font sans-serif, thereby detracting significantly from legibility.

  Cons

  Some challenges are just hard to overcome, even with the concerted effort that Akrutosync puts into its product. Some of the challenges have more to do with the products that it tries to provide a conduit between, e.g., Microsoft, Apple. I don't feel too bad about pointing these out, however, because in order to make the claim of being such a conduit, one must be able to conquer these challenges. For the most part, Akrutosync has, but there are a few stubborn ones that remain. One is that Aple doesn't permit the user to trigger a manual sync with an Exchange Server from the phone or from the Exchange Server side. I've sat with my thumb up an orifice trying to will the sync to take place, and it does...almost all of the time. The one time that it doesn't, however, is when you simply don't have the time to mess around. Isn't that always the case? If anyone runs into this, reboot the phone. Might not always work, but it seemed to have done so for me. The second unconquered issue

  Cons

  I wish it could sync text messages

• High Maintenance

  tenser333October 8, 2017

  Pros

  1. It does work to sync Outlook and your iPad/iPhone 2. Tech support is responsive, which is great 'cause you'll be needing them 3. Price is reasonable compared to subscription services like g-sync

  Cons

  1. Extremely tedious and time consuming to set up Internet syncing. Requires port forwarding, obtaining a Dynamic DNS account, and then setting all of that up with the software and your device using an onboarding process with a good deal of outdated information. Very frustrating. 2. WiFi syncing is easier but you have to reconfigure every time your IP address changes. If you have a static IP address already, and are not on the road a lot, this is the way to go.

  Summary

  Do not attempt the setup process unless you have a free afternoon, a high tolerance for aggravation, and a good grasp of tech issues. Service has worked well overall, once you get things set up.

• Product is great. Support was very helpful

  hollyhamanJuly 15, 2017

  Pros

  Works wonderfully. Very easy. Automatically updates all my outlook information to my phone.

  Cons

  I do not have anything negative to list.

  Summary

  I spent 3 hours on chat with Samsung trying to get their program to transfer my outlook contacts to my new phone. They couldn't figure it out and it's their program. I use my phone for work and needed to transfer immediately. I did some searching when Samsung wasn't any help. I am not technically savvy, so when I downloaded the free trial, I had some minor snags. I was concerned because the online chat was not available at the time, so all I could do was send an email. I suspected it would be ignored or I would get a response in 3 days. The customer service response was immediate and they were quickly able to identify what I was doing wrong. This program so far is working perfectly and I think it will make my life a lot easier. Even when using Samsung's Smart switch on my old phone, it worked with transferring contacts but never worked correctly with my calendar. AkrutoSync does both! I highly recommend this product.

• Smooth App and marvelous support service

  TuxzhyJuly 3, 2017

  Pros

  Seamless installation. Secure

  Cons

  Problem syncing notes without third party App

  Summary

  Pros: The name Akrutosync may not sound fanciful or romantic but what it does gives you some peace of mind about your important appointments in your Calendar which Akrutosync make accessible across all your devices. Your contacts and sensitive notes created on your PC are also shared across devices without compromising privacy in external storages. With hackers lurking around you can go to sleep knowing Akrutosync keeps your files always securely stored on your PC after syncing. The external storages provided by the big outfits simply make it easier for hackers to have their haul in one or few places almost effortlessly whereas programs like Akrutosync make it harder if not impossible. Right from the installation of the App you begin to feel something great is about to happen. It's so seamless and fast you don't realize when you reach the finish button. Speed of syncing depends on your network connection and the size of your files but sync time is quite tolerable. There are links at the website for every conceivable question you may wish to ask. Not only that, the human angle in their support service is simply marvelous. Prompt responses from Support Team and the professionalism put into it reflect a touch of class by itself. Akrutosync protects your privacy and gives you peace of mind. Cons: can't sync notes without a third party app which is an added cost, quite unnecessary in my view. Go for it! I give it five stars Samuel Ajayi

• Great when it works

  pamwpamwJune 28, 2017

  Pros

  Seamless sync between Android and Outlook 13. Runs in background and syncs both ways: from phone to computer and computer to phone.

  Cons

  Won't sync two or three times a year. In previous years, I would have given Tech Support a five+, but recently, they aren't as good. They used to make an appointment by phone, but no longer do. All support is by email. I find when I email them the problem, they start by asking questions, asking for screen shots, and wanting copies of the logs. That's no problem, but as I send more and more information, they ask over and over for the same things. They ignore the email history. It, also, takes a long time for problems to be fixed because I can't set at the computer waiting for them to get back to me and then follow through with the request. My last problem started in March and was fixed a several weeks later. Then another issue took several weeks. Then a Windows update caused another issue. We're working on that one. Out of the last three months, the sync has worked a total of a couple of weeks. If they would go back to phone appointments, the problems could have been solved in a day.

  Summary

  Great concept, but less than great support.

• Fantastic Product

  JennyGW2January 16, 2017

  None. Just buy it.

• easily syncs outlook with my phone

  MobilePC1July 12, 2016

  Pros

  I live in my outlook calendar - using it to schedule all of my jobs. This program syncs with your phone without having to export to google. Works on my wifi so as soon as I'm within range - the sync starts - no cables required. I've used the program for a couple of years - the new version has added more stability to the syncs starting automatically. Simple to setup for your wireless LAN with step by step instructions for Windows phone, android and iPhone. (not so simple for internet syncing) I had an issue where it stopped working and support actually wrote a new version to fix my issue!

  Cons

  - Cannot run as a service, so if someone closes the program (which has to remain open leaving an icon on the taskbar) syncing stops. This has surprised me several times when I get into the field and have no appointments on my phone. I'm not the only user on the PC that runs Akrutosync so I try to check my phone before I leave.

  Summary

  Works as advertised - simple wifi setup.
