Sync your Mac with your Android and iOS devices with ease

Syncing devices other than Apple products with a Mac can be a problem. SyncMate, however, allows Mac users to sync Android devices, other Macs, USB drives, and online accounts easily.

This is a useless application on the Mac. Doesn't sync on file change only according to time interval, and is very, very slow if file is in a large folder. You cannot find out this limitation from the trial version as it doesn't include file syncing capability, and the information is not contained on the website. A waster of money, and like others have found, they DO NOT give refunds. AVOID this product. Goodsync is much better although I do not like its new subscription model. I'm reinstalling V10 which has a life license.

NEVER BUY FROM ELTIMA. NO REFUNDS.The software was an utter failure at its supposed purpose, and it mangled my computer to such an extent I had to boot it up from an emergency disk and spend hours picking out the bits of garbage they installed and deleting them.

In this case, I was trying to sync and transfer music files between a Mac and an Android-based music player. I installed the free version of the software on my Mac, and it only did a limited number of things, none of which were what I wanted it to do. So I paid, via PayPal, for the Expert edition of the software and installed it. It was a disaster. This Expert package installed pieces of itself all over my operating system, without including an uninstall routine.

The new software immediately upon launch began to play havoc with my machine, turning the monitor on and off in a rapid fashion without pause. When I managed to get that calmed down (though the monitor image was crazily askew), I tried to sync the computer with the music player in all three ways on offer (USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth). IN ALL CASES THE SOFTWARE FAILED to sync the music player and computer. Nothing I tried worked. Just kept getting error messages. When all their garbage was off my computer, it went back to normal operation.

great for personal data sync.
wanted to sync contacts on my MacBook with Galaxy phone and Syncmate did this perfectly. No duplicates or errors. Thanks for making this option free:)
Pros: possibility to sync data for free
wide range of data you can sync
Cons: no complaints for now

Do not buy!!.
THIS SOFTWARE IS TERRIBLE. It locked up on my Mac and they will not offer a refund. Their software is apparently designed to generate an activity log after the sync is complete, but of course no log is generated when the software locks up your system. They then say too bad, no refund for you. I had this problem within an hour of downloading their software and request a refund 65 minutes after purchase. I strongly recommend finding a different option. Eltima software is unhelpful. Once they have your money they couldn't care less about your problems with their software.DO NOT BUY!!!!
Cons: Software locks up on a Mac
No customer service whatsoever

Where have you been all my life! .
Using Android and Mac for a while, and I can tell you it was a real thing to make these two work together. A year ago came across SyncMate. I've read a lot of comments and had some mixed feeling about this app, but then found a discounted version and got it. If I only knew about it earlier. This thing works great!
I had some connections issues but support team helped me and all my problems disappeared.I should warn you, you should check carefully the needed devices, and better do it on publishers website, else, there's a lot of outdated reviews and issues here and there. Pros: Impressive list of features
Wireless connection
Adequate technical support
Cons: Paid upgrade policy

Pros: NOTHING
Cons: Pull off the market

Waste of time.
Tried the free version and thought it was ok. Tried the paid version and it won't sync calendar or contacts. The program appears to use a lot of plugins running in the background; the plugins aren't functioning. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with so many plugins running in the background. Is my data safe? I would avoid this product. Pros: Worked once
Cons: Stable programming
Needs developer access to Android

Useless, poor technical support, no realistic refund policy, stay clear !.
I paid for Syncmate and the product constantly crashes and will not maintain a regular sync.
Customer support is useless, they just constantly ask for activity monitor sample and logs and never resolve the issues.
Getting a refund is impossible as they just say you have not helped them enough (I have spent over two weeks sending reports etc etc)All in all a useless product sold by a dishonest company, not recommended
Pros: great specs list, but its not real !
Cons: the sms syncing doesnt work !
the program crashes or hangs

Cons: none

Don't waste your time or money with SyncMate or Eltima Software.
SyncMate doesn't really do what it is advertised to do. It doesn't "sync" Android phones with iTunes, actually. What it does is very clumsily transfer files from your iTunes library to your phone, but should you decide that you don't want a playlist on your phone anymore, you've got to take it out manually. Syncmate doesn't sync, it transfers.
It backs up SMS and calls, but forget those backups being of any use. Use a nandroid backup if you actually want to be able to restore SMS or calls.
Eltima don't respond to emails - you have to pay for the privilege! - and they certainly don't respond when you point out to them that their marketing is fraudulent. They don't even have an answer.
Pros: Kind of syncs iCloud and google Calendar.
Cons: Doesn't sync with iTunes.
Runs (with MacFuse) in the background, damaging sync settings
Support - there is none
Money back policy - they don't offer money back because they can't back up their own product.

sync solution for Android.
I've tried several sync tools to sync my Motorla Xoom with iTunes and iPhoto, but syncmate is the best sync companion for me.
Pros: WIFI sync
playlists and albums sync
mount android tablet as a flash drive
Cons: has no background autosync

Expensive, and offers nothing I can't get for free. .
I can drag and drop for free from my mac through finder. Google will sync my calendar for free. When I tried this app, it made multiple copies of the same songs on my Droid. All this for $40. Yay.
Pros: Um...it saves me about four minutes of drag and drop,
Cons: Expensive, music sync is glitchy and wastes space,

Worst syncing tool. Download at your own risk!!.
Not only does it have terrible and limited syncing capacity but once you get sick of this POS app, you can't get rid of it and the stupid pop up boxes appear every few hours reminding you to sync after you've dumped all the files multiple times and no files show up in searches. I've had to download multiple apps/uninstall downloads just to get rid of the stupid popups for this terrible program.
Pros: none
Cons: everything about it.

bad download, a silly bait?.
After 4 or 5 misfits of downloading the program correctly, I discovered that there was very little possibilities to synchronize my HP-iPAC to my Mac: only Ical, contacts and SMS-messages. I wish to transfer specific files from the PDA to the Mac, but then you need the paid version of course, a silly 'I could have known it'-feeling remained... Disappointed about the loss of time and its results, I'm not quite eager to buy the paid version.
Pros: Concerning the free download version, can you tell me?
Cons: Bad downloading, there's barely any usage possible of the free download version. That's no invitation to buy the paid version.

New ver 2 pushed to me now wont work with OS 10.4.11.
I was a subscriber to Syncmate--running MAC OS 10.4.11 and an upgrade was pushed to me and I stupidly said OK, only to find out after installation that it requires MAC 10.5--now I've uninstalled it and am searching the net frantically for an older version to reinstall. I've contacted Eltima but it takes forever for them to respond.The bigger issue is this--they should push an upgrade to u if ultimately the upgrade isn't compatible with your OS. I want a refund.
Pros: When it worked, worked ok if u are syncing between apple's suite of services (iCal, Address Book, etc) with google and then to your Droid.
Cons: I originally bought it to sync with Entourage and it didnt work well--ultimately had to leave Entourage and use Apple suite of services instead.

SyncMate review.
I've found this app recently and I must say I like it. I'm a newbie in a Mac world and was looking exactly for such a tool.
The installation was quick and very easy. I've upgraded to Expert edition in a few days as expert offers more sync options.
And currently I use syncmate to sync my Mac with HTC and Google (BTW, Google sync is free which is great as I've used another paid app for google sync before).
Pros: - many devices supported within one app
- free version is available
- wide range of sync items
- I like its SMS manager
- one more advantage is that you can sync all these devices directly
Cons: -I'd like to see iPhone support as I'm going to purchase iPhone in a few months
