I see that Spanning Sync Tools are out of beta and now cost $9.99 for Spanning Sync subscribers. I'm a little peeved by this cost for the following reason. Spanning Sync should sync my google contacts and mac address book, even if I don't enter my data exactly as the Spanning Sync developers want. Unfortunately, there are contacts entered into address book that don't sync at all to google and vice versa. So Spanning Sync Tools "clean up" my address book (i.e., format entries into a way that works for Spanning Sync developers) to sync those contacts. That functionality is fundamental to a synchronization because without it, all my contacts don't sync. If all my contacts don't sync with Spanning Sync, the onus is on them to fix it either inherently with Spanning Sync or by giving a tool like Spanning Sync Tools to fix the problem.
In other words, if Spanning Sync worked properly without Tools, then charge for the extra program. But Spanning Sync doesn't work properly for me without Tools, and even leaves out some contacts from syncing even when Tools says all my contacts are ok. (Yes, I've submitted troubleshooting reports, and the only response I got was to use Tools). I don't mean to be abrasive or ramble; in many ways, Spanning Sync is very good. But charging for extra software to make the original software work almost properly isn't right. -Ara --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Spanning Sync" group.
