SOHO Notes Reviewnot trustworthy - Version: 7.0.2, 4/29/2008 02:57AM PST

Trying to synch your data leads to mass confusion: your data is repeated a number of times and is never properly synched. A total disaster if you try to synch any data especially to .Mac.

The global search function is inaccurate and is unable to locate data that is clearly within its own database. Linked to this is the password function which is temperamental and complicated to actuate.

Tons of features which are redundant. Moreover, most of the features do not even work properly or consistently. This app. is a total disaster and is not even a shadow of what Sticky Brain was.

Two thumbs way down!

p.s. Charging 60% of the price to upgrade is just insult to injury for those who have stuck with this app since its inception. Time to jump ship.

SOHO Notes ReviewGreat improvements, high price, destructive SOHO Sync - Version: 7.0.1, 4/27/2008 06:59PM PST

Some great additions in this version, though the upgrade price may be 60% of full price, come on folks, $25 is not much for a product running off a commercial strength database engine, OpenBase.

What is a DISASTER is SOHO Sync. I already run a program based on OpenBase called DayLite. DayLite is pretty expensive and very complex. It had great potential but if you want to sync any significant number of contacts from that expensive program with FREE Address Book on Mac OS, it is the expensive DayLite that crashes EVERY time you try to sync more than 1000-2000 contacts. (I have 6000 in Address Book and it runs fine!)

Anyway, it took me MONTHS to slowly synch my 6000 AddressBook contacts with DayLite by slowly building the Sync Contacts list. All was well and then foolishly I clicked on SOHO Sync in Notes and disasters one after the other.

Among MANY destructive things I saw happen after clicking that NOTES Sync button...

- permissions on Unix executables deep within OS X got corrupted preventing even previously working iCal from synching with iSync/Truth/.Mac ,

- Despite my picking iCal and AddressBook for EVERY conflict Conflict Catcher reported for NOTES, when all was said and done, it had forced 1200 duplicates into my Address Book.

- Even worse, it inserted text "other as email address in nearly 3000 records. So, 3000 contacts had their own correct email addresses, and then one more just "other". I had get help on .Mac and someone kindly wrote me an AppleScript to manually run and delete the 3000 "other" text entries.

- EVERY time I made a change to a contact card, there goes the hard disk, with Activity Monitor showing SOHO Sync running thousands of operations over and over, hogging the CPU.

- Have spent the whole weekend getting Address Book and iCal to be FULLY in synch with just NOTES. When it looked like it was finally stable - I clicked on .Mac to sync and.... I went for a long walk. Came back. According to Synrospector app, iCal .Mac sync was cancelled. Checked the logs and found it happened at exactly the same moment when a SECOND SOHO Sync instance ran, reported it had found SOHO Sync already running and stopped. But, Activity Monitor shows that it actually killed the .Mac iCal operation and SOHO SINK is still running.

What an ugly "feature". Again, I am not cursing the whole program for this evil annoyance, but, what a waste of time and energy, CPU cycles and hard disk revs.
