It's great, I bought it. Looking forward to address book sync.

Mmm ... it works fine indeed. But ... syncing 2 macs means buying 2 BusySyncs ... that's
$ 40,- ... to much I think!

This is a great app. Care to explain what you don't like about it?

As a full time graphic designer I find it really useful as a way of viewing lots of images at the same time and sorting them.

Yea it seems like a good app but the price has completely turned me off.

Great future alternative is: http://www.busymac.com/busysync2.html

The google feature is coming in Feb. and the price is right.

When the beta was over I said I would never pay (at least not that much) for a service like this, something Google will offer for free soon. Google hasn't yet launched anything. I've tried gSync and BusySync both with duplicate entries and lots of hassle. SpanningSync GETS THE JOB DONE. It's so easy even my grandma could use it, I love this app. Downside is still the price, I think it could be dropped with 5 bucks at least but hey, we all want to make money and the creators of SS deseves it!

Works like a charm. If there was not that price tag. I have been using the program for almost a year now and have to decide whether to continue the subscription, extend to lifelong membership or take a look at other products.

There were serious problems with Spanning Sync and Leopard. These were supposed to be resolved by the Leopard 10.5.3 update. However, it still doesn't work for me -- I get continual conflicts when syncing. If you value the integrity of your calendars, steer clear of this -- it just isn't worth the risk.

I agree with the previous posts, the developer needs to reconsider their pricing. It does, however, do what it does well. The latest version (beta) syncs Google contacts which is a huge deal for me, so I'm happily using it for now... and it's working great (on Leopard even). I only paid for a year (and not the lifetime subscription) as I am hoping the developer will adjust their price or another similar product will come along that also syncs Google contacts.

Or, instead of spending money, you could sync through ical by following these instructions...

riluske: CalDAV is currently read-only on the iPhone, so not a solution for me and many others.

BusySync is doing the job nicely for me, and at considerably lesser cost!

Thanks for the heads up. I want to make it clear though that I am not simply after a free bit of software but instead something that has a price that reflects the product. I was very much keen on buying this, even though it is still in its infancy – I think it's a good product.

HogBay is willing to provide an academic discount (25% off, as remarked at the forums for students, so that should alleviate the issue of cost to a certain extent.

very slick. integration with Leopard's task-server on the horizon? sync with iphone?

This is a great little program. I'm a big fan. It's nice and simple so you don't waste too much time getting it set up how you like.

Am I missing something? I tried to use this for a few days, but dropped it. Should you be able to get a list of all projects without tasks? I really want that.

I do certainly like the idea. And I especially like that the files it creates can be edited in any text editor. But... I guess it's just not quite enough.

@patlaj - Keep an eye out for the next version... maybe next month or two... development versions can be downloaded from my forums now. Among other things it will give you a number of ways to show all projects in a single list.

Great app, I've tried all of the Mac IRC apps and this is by far the best. However, I do find the pop-up notices annoying when you join a server/channel, and you don't seem to be able to disable them? Can anyone help?

IRC + Mac-style.
this is simply the best IRC app for Mac ever!

Nice interface, but it's a resource hog and completely collapses when you're connected to channels with high volumes of chat. Needs optimization and fine tuning.
