iClink

I have used this product since it came out about two years ago and the last guy who said it was horrible was being really generous One of its problem is you have to pay Championlink 100 a year for it to sync wirelessly which in itself is OK but not when it doesnt work stops working and there is no support except for support tickets you get but are not answered Then you fell like you were scammed Another problem is the interface is not really easy to read and its more PC like than Apple like Never happy with it but as it was the only fix for the problem of syncing with ACT at the time had to put up with it Do not buy this unless you enjoy disappointment and being robbed     Buy this if you like feeling stupid

Some effort would be nice     No updates since 2009

After a few intial set up issues Ive had no problems syncing in both directions Though I really would like to se alerts              Use it Daily

Works very well I am 100 more organized and MOBILE than before Well worth the money ICLink Programmers 1 Please add audible alarms on iPhone 2 Faster startup would be nice 3 Day of week lable on day view would be a plus 4 Add ability to schedule activities directly from day view ie Clicking on a time slot opens a new activity window                 Real Estate Broker

After spending a day trying to sync my goldmine database to my Iphone I was finally told that they dont recommend over 3000 contacts I have about 5000 The problem is that every time your phone rings or you do anything with your phone your sync is interrupted and you have to start all over I even put my phone in flight mode overnight and connected via wifi I still could not get a stable enough connection to get through an entire sync I was never able to get my initial sync done If you dont start all over you get duplicate records By start all over I mean purge and reload your data from your iphone It was a real hassle Despite my hope for this product I will have to stay with my USB cable        Probably OK for NonBusiness Users

Horrible horrible product Continuous problems with syncing data and long waits for customer support I have missed personal and business apointments due to the inaccuracy with syncing between my iPhone and ACT If maintaining your schedule is important do NOT use this product     iClink

For those of you that have too much to do and bill out accordingly while trying to remember everything THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU Running my company and being a single parent now I know what Im doing when Im avail And my business and personal items are in one place AND I NO LONGER COMINGLE my record or double book Worth the and time it takes to set up                 The Boss

Never could get all my appointments synced Tried my best but support is poor and slow After repeated attempts to explain my problem I gave up     Poor customer service and loss of data syncing

This software is worthless if you use Microsoft Outlook with BCM Business Contact manager It will only sync wireless is limited to one catagory of contacts BCM or personal contacts and the cost is 99 you must use Pro plus 900mo to sync wirelessly The cost would be fine if it did what it should but it does not Support lady was rude condesending and unhelpful After spending 30 minutes trying to make sure my data wasnt blown away I finally discover that the program exports your data from Outlook into the main contact section of the iphone However if you have contacts in the main personal folder and the BCM folder you must choose Their answer is that it would work fine if I had a different phone Blackberrys supposedly work fine Thats great I own an Iphone Pass on this one if you use Outlook with BCM     Not if you use Outlook with BCM

Potential Buyers Please understand that in addition to this software you also need CompanionLink Pro which costs about 100 and only runs on Windows and you have to signup for a 995 sync service with CompanionLink I was looking forward to this in hopes that CompanionLink had fixed some of their problems with their software as it relates to its interoperability with Lotus Notes However they have not 1 Address Book ignores updates on iPhone and adds back in the addresses from Lotus Notes I finally turned this off it was so annoying This may be because CompanionLinks sync service is not in a real time push service but is a twosided sync intermediary that occurs at certain intervals Also it is placing numerous No Name entries into my address book I have no idea what that is about 2 The software still does not recognize Lotus Notes appointments only meetings I also believe certain repeated meetings do not get translated properly This is really a longstanding issue with their CompanionLink Pro software as well as CompanionLink for Google Still has not been resolved 3 The Calendar sync does not place the calendar entries in the iPhone calendar but in iClink itself Could be an advantagedisadvantage depending on your point of view 4 The ToDos are also placed in iClink This is understandable since Apple has not included a ToDo app as part of their base software Bottom line this has a LONG way to go I am hoping that CommonTime will eventually port their mNotes application to iPhone as I consider that to be the gold standard for Lotus Notes email and PIM support to handhelds        Needs Work

Ive been using with ACT for almost 2years with much satisfaction I recommend Hoping for iPad version              Good for me

I got 15 categories and over 3000 contacts that sync wirelessly from Act 60 I love it The problem I was having is the whole categories to groups sync that hasnt been addressed by Apple For my calendar I use google calendar and I get free push exchange But google doesnt sync contact groups Hopefully they fix that Meanwhile if Companionlink can offer push or some exchange server access that address the categoriesgroups that will be a smart move Something that I can enter the settings on the iPhone directly and have push contacts with the categoriesgroup sync Also the company should focus on upgrading the iclink sync software and abandon their Deja Office app I know of many apps that out perform Deja Office by miles Stick to what you do best Finally many companies offer exchange for free or as little as 5 per month Its only around the corner that they will support proper categorygroup sync So drop the price on the wireless service                 It Works For Me

If continuing to use your iPhones built in Calendar etc is important please note that this app does not read that data Youll be working with two separate data stores        Does not use the native iPhone data store

I Use iClink with CompanionLink Pro to sync my ACT 2009 corporate database of 13000 contacts I also use the CompanionLink wireless service I sync changes both directions between my Iphone 3gs and Windows server 2003 based ACT database This is the best sync system I have found during the 15 years I have been using ACT If you need the most up to date info in the field and at the office you cant beat this system                 Best Sync System

Damn it It was 39 when I got it and now its free WTF I use it with ACT and love it Syncs well 89 out of 90 days Once a qtr it may be down a few hours              Been with it for months
