[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] Problems, complaints, updates

I've tried to make this program work reliably, but it often has a mind of
its own. For example it takes one-time events and makes them recurring. Even
after I change them back, every time I sync, they become recurring again.

I've never been able to sync to-do's -- it just doesn't work.

I don't even bother trying to sync contacts anymore.

It handles "too many calendar items" inelegantly, opting for an
all-or-nothing sync. Because of the program's propensity to make one-time
items recurring/repeating, I get sync failures often.

Given the known limitations of the hiptop, it seems the Missing Su=ync could
be a lot smarter about what it attempts to do. If one of my contacts is
missing a last name (thus a cause for sync failure) why try and sync it?

Plus, it does not sync automatically or on any schedule -- I have to
remember to sync. :(

I'm disappointed there's been no update to it to address the problems.

Definitely not worth the money if they're not working to fix the problems.
