• without multiple calendar sync it's pretty worthless.

  igig425/21/2012

  Pros

  seems to work well for the primary calendar

  Cons

  Doesn't sync secondary calendars from google calendars, nor does it sync tasks.

  Summary

  Will be great once they add the ability to sync secondary calendars and tasks

  jgdryan5/16/2011

  Pros

  great for syncing your calendar to many devices

  Cons

  wish there was more control over calendar selections. Support of multiple calendars would be good

  Summary

  Great tool as is, could use more options

• Unreliable

  lnfitz1/2/2011

  Pros

  When it works it serves a very valuable service for me.

  Cons

  Doesn't reliably sync. I arrived home and checked the laptop for an appointment I made on the road... no show.

  Summary

  I guess why bother if I have to remember to add the appointment to my Outlook anyway.

• Works OK..... but for a while only :(

  anonymisverige12/25/2010

  Pros

  Great idea. Good when it works.

  Cons

  It does NOT do what it says on the tin.

  Summary

  - It works for a while (about 1-2months) and then it fails to replicate most new events and updates. - This is not a "once of", neither is it related to one machine or one account only. NOTE - I work in IT so I am very technical. I have done all troubleshooting I could ever think of for a few weeks, but I have still not been able to resolve it. If I (a strong technical person) can not get around it, then what about "Average Joe"? My conclusion up to now being through all my research is.... there are bugs in the solution and they have failed to address the issues.

• Shoddy product

  jennifer_dent10/21/2010

  Pros

  Easy to configure

  Cons

  Works sporadically

  Summary

  I've had this product work fine some of the time, then . . . not so fine other times. After syncing, some events from my Outlook calendar would not appear in my Google calendar. I've fiddled with settings, uninstalled/reinstalled, checked how appointments appear in my Outlook calendar and a variety of other things and no joy. There are tons of people having the same problem I am, and it seems to have been going on for a while -- like over a year -- and Google seems not to want to address it. If this product works for you, great, but based on my experience I wouldn't recommend it.

• Rock solid reliability!

  greghaz9/19/2009

  Pros

  Easy to use, perfectly reliable and non-buggy, which is why I now use this wirelessly with my iPhone instead of the very unreliable MobileMe service from Apple. Apple builds fabulous products but seems inept at internet applications.

  Cons

  The only improvement I can think of would be for Google to add contacts as well.

  Summary

  A rock solid solution for those needing real time wireless calendar sync capability.

• Great Idea But......

  docgregn8/18/2009

  Pros

  Works most of the time,

  Cons

  If You have the New Pal Pre creats conflicts with the normal sync between the Pre and Google Calendar ..You must delete and re-instal again for another sync. Second Problem when you have more than one computer with Outlook, duplicates the data.

  Summary

  Try it,
