I decided to try this app and now all of my Google contacts and groups are successfully syncing with my iCloud contacts.

This app distinguishes itself with its reliability, ease of use, speed, and with a true 2-way sync that merges changes made to both your Gmail Mac contacts.

This is the 1 app for syncing Google contacts with Mac both in terms of downloads reviews.

Also of significance, this app syncs contact groups with Google.

For instance, you may have organized your Google contacts into groups such as friends, family, and coworkers.

After syncing, your Mac groups will match your Google groups.

With the customizability that this app provides, it can be used in a number of creative ways.

For example, you can backup your Mac contacts to Google, you can sync iCloud or Exchange contacts with Google, or you can perform syncs in one direction only (such as Google to Mac).

If you use an email app tied to Google but keep your contacts in Apples Contacts app, it is essential for them to sync, since new or revised emails addresses that you load into your Apple Contacts are fetched by your iPhone from Gmail, not from the Apple Contacts.

Be sure to backup your Contacts before using this in case you screw up (I did backup but didnt screw up), but youll be very pleased with the results.

It syncs everything in your Apple Contacts including your notes, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc.

The only quirk that you must get used to is the fact that it doesnt show as an application in the dock, such as other applications would.

It only shows in the top status bar, along with other icons near to the clock.

I will reviseremove this rating if the developer fixes this problem.

But just recently, the app began to request my purchase of an additional unlock on the already full-version purchased application.

Unless I give in to the demands, it will only synchronize 40 of my contacts.

I have attempted to contact the developer for support on this, but I wanted to leave this review for anyone else who may be in the same boat.

It is somewhat confusing because there is another application, Synctastic, by the same developer.

This app appears in the related list and may lead one to believe that they didnt really purchase the full-version.

And the developers response that the licensing issue is fixed with 7.1.2 is not correct.

Ill be forced to pay for it again if I want to use it.

Im one of the few developers that responds to support requests.

So within days of Joshs initial email, I took prompt action and updated the app for Josh to fix the licensing issue.

After that, Josh still said that he was having trouble, and so I offered to diagnose the problem further.

I was keeping all of my contacts only in Google so this presented a problem with Messages and other Contacts dependant apps.
