Quite simply put, never has an application caused me so much trouble in so short a period of time. As desperate as the next guy to be done with Palm Hotsync, I gave The Missing Sync a fair spin... several weeks.
What I got was:
• garbled categories on everything
• events that wandered from the right date to the wrong date at random
• duplicate and triplicates of events
• completely lost telephone numbers & addresses
• other bad stuff that I haven't even begun to figure out
• less freedom and flexibility in using iCal because each calendar HAD to correspond to a Palm category
• an even more horrible experience that took hours to rectify when I tried to uninstall and swith back to Hotsync.
What I didn't get was:
• any method whereby my cell phone could be included in the mix
• anything at all better than iSync with Palm Hotsync
• any reason why one would choose to pay for this crap when the free alternative, no matter how bad, is better.
On the up side, my hatred for Smith Micro has cooled a bit. Well, not really, it's just that I have to split my bile between FaxSTF and Missing Sync from now on.
YECH!!! AVOID!!! Honestly, don't even waste your time and possibly your data by demo-ing this thing.

Strange ... I am VERY happy with MissingSync. Since Version 5 it even synchs the categories / Mac Calendars. I had not one error anymore since 5. I really hope you find the bug to make it work for you too!Saturday, November 19 2005 @ 05:59 AM PST
