We also use TouchDown (just acquired by Symantec)… but I wanted to mention that on the Play & iTunes stores Microsoft has released an official OWA App. I believe the Droid version is still beta but the iOS version works well. However, I don’t think they support the “Notes” feature but they tie natively into an Exchange organization and they are tight and require little overhead and are similar to the Windows 8 Metro Mail App plus they are free!

Until it doesn’t. From: Michael B.

The specifications are published and quite definitive. Apple and Touchdown and Windows Phone and certain versions of Android deal with ActiveSync very well. Notes – they are another issue entirely.

Also, we needed to have the notes available as well.

So, is the lack of “Notes” being including in native ActiveSync on Android the reason you went with Touchdown? Or were there other factors?

This app uses the activesync with our Exchange 2010 server to send emails, notes, tasks, calendar, contacts, etc to the phone and vice versa. We have been using this for 2 years and it works great, so yes, we can sync the Notes folder with our Android devices using the Touchdown for Smartphones app. I am not sure about using any other app though.

After finding “Tasks” hidden within the phone’s calendar app, notes appears to be the only remaining item that is not syncing w/ my Galaxy S5 (4.4.2). Or, I guess more generally – is there a list somewhere of what ActiveSync features are compatible for different devices/operating systems? Thx! .
