PPCG Review: BookSync


I had the opportunity to take this little app for a test drive. For only $0.99, how could you go wrong right? Well, unfortunately this app needs some work. The functionality worked great. It automatically matched up my contacts with my Facebook contacts (by matching names), and I had the opportunity to sync birthdays and names. It’ll automatically sync the profile picture as well. If you have someone saved as a different name, you can easily do a manual match and pair them up yourself.

The GUI, however, needs major work, atleast on my VGA Touch Pro. Things were overlapped and hard to read and its not very finger-friendly at all.

You can download the beta versions for free, or buy the final release versions for $0.99. From their website, it looks as though they’re working on improving the GUI, which is much needed.

Some of its features include:

  • Auto matching
  • Manual matching
  • Sync profile picture
  • Sync birthdays
  • Sync name
  • Quiet mode – call booksync from a schedule app with the -q switch “booksync -q” to perform a background sync

I will give this a 2 out of 5 stars for the time being, in hopes that the GUI will be improved very soon.

Buy it from the PPCG Store here for only $0.99!!!
