• Works well for Outlook to Google Calendar Sync

  garne2t2June 22, 2015

  Pros

  Two-way sync of Google calendar to Outlook calendar

  Cons

  A bit pricey at $20 for full version.

  Summary

  I use this to sync my Google Calendar to Outlook. I am then able to view/edit my Outlook calendar on my Android phone and keep it in sync. Unfortunately the free version use to have scheduled sync but they removed that functionality some time ago. I have been using the free version for over a year (since Google stopped the free sync functionality they use to offer). I guess I'll finally pony up the $20 for the full version but I'm disappointed I have to do so for something that had been free for years (through Google).

• Horrible products, don't buy!!!

  itrushnDecember 15, 2014

  Pros

  1. Horrible support. 2. Requires to purchase new licensed every few month as old version gets disabled. 3. Company run by scam artist

  Cons

  1. Horrible support. 2. Requires to purchase new licensed every few month as old version gets disabled. 3. Company run by scam artist

  Summary

  Its 1 man shop, and as he is getting older and lazier there is less and less support available. Depending on his mood he can tell you to f### off in the email, literally, instead of resolving your request. It use to be decent software, but in last few years hundred of complaints have been received , so do not buy this product. Go with alternatives.

• Works Very Well

  vic12027December 8, 2014

  Pros

  I installed v4 to sync my Outlook 2010 Calendar with my Google Calendar and am very pleased. The product works as advertised. I got to try before I bought and the ~ $20 price is reasonable. My registration key was provided within an hour or so, even though I registered the product over the weekend.

  Cons

  The instructions are a bit obscure.

  Summary

  A good product at a fair price if you need to sync both ways between Outlook and Google calendars.

• Paid version: App syncs, tech support sucks

  lmonterosNovember 21, 2014

  Pros

  Syncs Outlook calendar, contacts, tasks with Google Can set preferences Syncs quickly

  Cons

  Difficult to set up Instructions on site are incomplete Tech support is rude and unhelpful Can only pay through PayPal Expensive for what it does

  Summary

  I almost never pay for software, but I used the gsync free version until Google changed its way of handling recurring event syncs. The free version no longer worked, so I paid $20 for the full version for one calendar. I think this is a bit high for what you get, which is only the ability to sync tasks and contacts (which I don't really need) as well as the calendar, and the ability to set certain preferences. However, I need to access my appointments on my laptop and phone as well as my desktop, so I paid. Though the product seems to work well and the sync is faster than the old Google sync, the instructions on the site leave out a couple key points: first, that you must create a new Google calendar, which appears to be a copy of the original one and make sure you are syncing to that; and second, that the preferences are not defaulted to sync Outlook to Google, but only the other way around. You have to check that box before you can sync. I had several emails with a techie because I couldn't get it to work and even sent screen shots so he could see what my difficulty was. I am sure he neither read what I wrote nor looked at the shots. I also sent him the link to the instructions on the gsyncit site that told me to do something he was telling me not to do, and again, he couldn't have looked at the site because he did not address the question at all. He finally wrote an email that made it pretty clear he thought I was an idiot, but I had gotten the sync working by then, by clicking around and analyzing what was happening. I emailed him what I figured out in the hopes that it will help someone in the future, though I doubt he will pass that on. I have examined several sync programs, and the basic failing of all seems to be that they assume one wants to enter all their appointments online and sync to Outlook for...what? convenience? That makes no sense, since Outlook is a much more powerful program and easier-to-use program than online calendars, so if you are using Outlook, it would be your primary calendar. Otherwise, you woudl just stick to the online calendar. Gsyncit also assumes this, so once you get around that, you can figure out what to do.

• SPAM FLOOD

  November 6, 2014

  Pros

  It did sync my Google & Outlook calendars

  Cons

  They sold my work email address!! I had 6 years with ZERO spam (SIX YEARS!!!) and immediately after installing this product I started getting 30+ spam a day. AND it let it all bypass my "Safe List Only" selection for handling junk mail. I am hoping, now that I have uninstalled this POJ, that the spam starts landing in the junk-mail instead of my inbox. It is probably too much to hope for that it goes away altogether. I am VERY disappointed with this company & their product and lack of email ethics.

• What a joke

  rickyazSeptember 29, 2014

  Pros

  None None None

  Cons

  I've looked at every setting I can think of. When you create a task from toodledo IT WILL NOT SHOW UP IN OUTLOOK 2013. What is the point of this? Do you test your products?! No way in hell I'm giving you $ 20 for this broken POS.

• Continuous problems

  September 9, 2014

  Pros

  Nice idea Friendly support staff

  Cons

  Does not handle meeting invitations well Creates duplicates Inconsistent handling of meeting requests across timezones Constant updates of new versions

  Summary

  Initially the product worked well but after a while, i started experiencing syncing problems between Outlook and Google Calendar. It creates duplicates (sometimes even 3-4) instances of meetings requests I receive. It then tries to remove the duplicates and sends declined notices which has caused havoc with my customers. Does not handle meetings sent from different time zones. Support were very responsive in trying to resolve issues but frankly its more hassle than its worth. My advice - avoid at all costs

• Terrible Tech Support

  Son_of_AsaphJanuary 4, 2014

  Pros

  Meets a need for Outlook.

  Cons

  Tech support is unresponsive. Purchasing process is antiquated (3 business days to confirm a credit purchase - in the 21st century - for online business!)

• perfect sync between my outlook and Gmail

  thamcoreApril 26, 2013

  Pros

  install easy does what it promises the best solution after google stopped google calendar sync even if calendar sync would still exist; this one is better for really little money if you use it on only one pc and... very fast replies from customer service

  Cons

  none none none (to get to 10 characters)

  Summary

  I lost many hours to find a solution for my sync problem. This solution is perfect. wish I had discovered it before. I do not understand way not many more people downloaded this
