Hi all. I am searching for something specific and it has been hard to find a reliable solution.

I am looking for an app that will:
1) sync my PC computer's outlook (calendar, tasks, notes) - don't need email sync but if it has that, then that is fine
2) the sync should be local via direct connection or via wifi to the computer - not over the cloud
3) needs to be from a company that still exists and still supports the product (I already paid for an app from a company that no longer exists [moffice from mobisynapse] and I see there are paid options out there where the company does not respond to any emails at all [task/todo - outlook sync by galaxy-sync]) - so that I can reinstall on my phone and PC for free if I have to reformat.
4) not too expensive either.

Does anyone have a program they use reliably and can recommend?

Thank you!

What app(s) on your Android phone are you wanting to sync to?

Which Outlook are you using on your PC?

Would running the Outlook app on your Android phone be acceptable to you?

MS
I would've thought that having it on both devices and logged in it would do it on it's own. I use OneNote and it syncs instantly on it's own between a windows phone and an android phone. They do need to be online of course.

Hi,

Phone is samsung galaxy s5, s7, or s8.

Outlook 2007.

Running outlook on the phone is fine, but they don't actually make an outlook program for the phone that has tasks and notes - they only have the calendar and email. (That being said, I don't need an all in one solution. As long as they all link with outlook locally on the computer, then that is fine).

Thanks!
Juggernaut

Maybe take a look at the other Microsoft Office Apps available on the Google Playstore. (For instance, MS OneNote is excellent for notes, and integrates tightly with Outlook on the PC. I don't know for a fact that it tightly integrates with Outlook on Android... but one would think so...) Other than that, hit the search engines with your question... there are a number of solutions for sync'ing, but as you indicated they are mixed bag on suitability for your criteria.

Yep! You log in on the same MS account and it keeps the notebooks in sync.

One Note is the bomb
Wifey decided her next phone based on how One Note worked (liked it better on Android)
It syncs between our phones and PCs in real time. She has seen me checking off items at the store and updated our shared list on her PC. Love that program

Juggernaut, I believe you need to create an online Outlook account.
It syncs between everything. And you can use Outlook 2007 to pull info
Also it's free.
Go to www.outlook.com and create a MS account

Hi Bill.

Just to clarify, are you saying that if I download the outlook app from MS onto my phone and create an MS account with it, then I will be able to locally sync ALL of outlook from my PC to my phone, including Tasks and Notes?

Please clarify.

Thanks!
Juggernaut

Using Outlook.com the app on Android will save your contacts to your Outlook.
The calendar syncs. Don't know about Tasks.
MS is updating the Outlook App constantly. (now that Windows Phone is done)
Free to try!
You can use the Outlook App or Outlook.com to make updates.
