Doesn’t work
This seems like an awesome service but just keep getting an error when trying to set it up.
Great idea, but doesn’t work well with iPhone in my case
It’s a really great idea and I wish it worked well with iphone. Unfortunately, in my case, since synching with iphone I have contacts disappearing and some events on my iphone calendar broke the sync with my desktop app. E.g. a contact I used just yesterday disappeared and there’s no trace of a change in the app changes log. Reinstalling and starting fresh new contact lists doesn’t solve all the problems. I reported the problem but it’s very difficult to characterize when these things happen so difficult to reproduce. It’s 5++ stars for what they’re trying to do, but it least in my experience it’s not there yet.
Only one issue so far, otherwise it works
The setup is bit odd, but that is mostly because of Apple’s restrictions and other nonsense. Once setup, it works but I hav one issue: it doesn’t auto sync for some reason.
Good on android, disaster on iOS
The app works well on Android, but tried on my Wife’s iPhone and it is terrible. Constantly crashing, does not work well with calendar or contacts. It is completely useless.
Love the Concept, Just Couldn’t Get It To Work
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to sync my contacts and reminders privately without having to have to use iCloud and feed Apple all of my personal data. I just couldn’t get it to work after many hours of trial and error to successfully sync. Perhaps some updates and it will work flawlessly and I will certainly come back to try again and very willing to pay to have the service work swimmingly to sync E2E between my devices. Love the concept!

Wonderful tool
Works as expected. I’m looking to move away from self hosting and tools like this make it easy. I don’t want service providers to have access to my data at any point so EteSync is a great solution. Priced well and works well. Hopefully they eventually figure out automatic background syncing but I’m happy with manual in the meantime. Sync works well between iOS and Linux devices.
