If hating this software is wrong then I don't want to be right. - Version: 2.0.2, 11/16/2009 11:43AM PST

To oversimplify things by saying that "It just doesn't work" doesn't quite give a full picture of the frustration and pain associated with this product. I rely on my calendar for business and when this software randomly deletes data from my iCal I lose records of my time which means I lose money. Thankfully I backup , but having to restore my info every time I sync isn't my idea of software that works. I've been back and forth with their tech support numerous times and even paid for the 2.0 upgrade to the software hoping that it would eventually work.

Don't buy it, don't try, and if you have time send them hate-mail.

Stick with the official Blackberry Desktop software recently released for mac. It has its flaws but it works a hell of a lot better than this...thing.

I've tried and tried, but as others note, this is a product that gets worse with every release. At this point, the client simply doesn't run on my BB, making syncing impossible. BlackBerry should be supporting Mac by now, but in the meantime, this "solution" is simply an overpriced boondoggle. One of the worst experiences I've had with any software product.

I have been using this software for several months now, and wow, does it suck. Seriously. I have been patient with tech support, but like other reviewers have said, response times are seriously lacking. I love my blackberry bold, but without a reliable way to sync, I'm pretty much stuck. I'm going to try Google's blackberry sync app, but if that doesn't work, I guess it's off to the iPhone. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY Missing Sync for BlackBerry.
