The reason I did not get the desktop version of MLO is because while testing it alongside the android version, sync did not work as it should.
When I say "as it should", here's the standard expectaion: when using Google Photos, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Gmail, Box, Dropbox, Skydrive or Google Drive (all various different services that provide "sync" between multiple devices), the expected outcome is: I changed the file/service here on my laptop, so, within a few seconds (or minutes, if your file is very large and your internet connection is very slow), I should be able to access that file/service from my mobile device/any other device, and it should be synced. Also vice versa: changing it on a mobile device will sync within seconds at most (sometimes minutes, except if your mobile only syncs over WIFI, in which case it will autosync the moment you enter wifi). This is, to me...and probably the rest ov our little planet, "normal" operation when considering a sync service. Here's what I experienced with MLO: It syncs either when it "feels" like it, or when you force-sync. That's why I stopped using the desktop. I would rather schlep froth just using the phone version, and workaroudn as best I can, than (which happened to me several times during the testing periods) miss tasks/loose info because I changed it on my mobile while standing at our reception, and then, walking to my desktop to continue working, and finding that the changed/updated task is not there/not changed/updated. So, that was my experience around the end of 2015. Any news if this is now working like a normal, expected sync: ie: when I change something on a device, it is synced within seconds (at most a minute ortwo) AUTOMAGICALLY....not when I force-sync? I would so like to use the desktop version in combination with the android, but this non-syncing is a major deal-breaker obviously! I am not interested in "checking" or "making sure" that my device or my laptop is synced every time I quickly wish to use MLO. It should auto-do this.
