Avoid ?Sync in a Blink? if you have 500+ Contacts

By atharkhan

I found “Sync in a Blink” in the iTunes app store. At first glance, it seemed to be a good solution to synchronize my Exchange and Gmail contacts. However, the application did not work for me. When I attempted to synchronize all my contacts, it would crash. When I attempted to synchronize 50 contacts at a time, it held up for a while. Then somewhere around 400 contacts, it became unstable and began creating duplicates and crashing again.

So, for now, I am back to using gSyncit — which isn’t perfect either but it is the best solution I have been able to find thus far. And, since it is possible to configure gSyncit to perform a uni-directional (Outlook –> Gmail) sync, I can keep my contact data safe.
