Exchange Contacts & Calendar sync app gets price-cut

Microsoft Exchange support for Android is one of those things that can’t come too soon for many enterprise users, but until then there are apps that promise at least partial functionality.  Wrike’s ContactsCalendarSync is one such program, bringing contacts and calendar synchronization between an Exchange server and your Android device.

Up until now, though, it’s been a not-inconsiderable $24.95; more than many would like to pay, especially as it doesn’t include email support.  Wrike have answered with a limited discount: from Thursday April 2nd through to April 16th, ContactsCalendarSync will be available for $9.95 through the Android Market.

Obviously you’ll need an Exchange server and the Exchange Web Services feature enabled in order for this to be of any use.  Back when we tried it in October we found it pretty straightforward, though not without glitches, but a more than 50-percent price cut certainly takes the edge off them.

  1. Naturally their price was too high at $25. Touchdown is a well-supported application at about the same price that added email. If you're going to offer a lot less features (and email is a MAJOR feature), then you need charge a lot less.
  2. Agreed that the price is too high with no email functionality. I don't know why you would even spend $10 and not have email sync. I would think email is a pretty significant feature for most Exchange users.
  3. Why is it that articles keep saying they can't wait for full Outlook support when users keep saying it is here? nobody in the press, blogs etc. is paying any attention apparently.

    I am currently running full push outlook email, contacts, calendar, appointment reminders. Yes the app is in the market. It's called Outlook by Touchdown. Support Echange 2005 and 2007.

    Chris Davies... please read the comments. Kittens are crying

    It's called Touchdown by NitroDesk :-). http://nitrodesk.com/

    It supports Exchange 2003 (which is what we're using) & Exchange 2007. I don't think there is an Exchange 2005.
