Review summary

Overall, users praise DAVx⁵ for reliable syncing across various CalDAV/CardDAV servers and strong, responsive support, along with good value and Google-independent operation. However, recurring concerns focus on reliability issues and inconsistent performance across devices, a lack of visible progress or status in the UI, setup/compatibility friction on some devices, and missing/awkward features like TLS client-certificate prompts and local birthday syncing. Despite these gaps, many reports remain positive when the app functions correctly.

Pros

Works well across multiple servers (Nextcloud, Baikal, Fastmail, etc.).
Excellent, responsive support that resolves issues quickly (license moves, troubleshooting).
Good value for money; affordable and time-saving compared with building a solution yourself.
Not Google-locked; supports self-hosted and independent services, giving data independence.

Cons

Reliability issues and flaky behavior reported across devices and servers (crashes, failing syncs, auth problems).
Lack of clear UI feedback and visible sync progress; users often don't know what the app is doing.
Setup and device compatibility friction on certain devices (e.g., MIUI) and installation problems on some phones.
Missing or awkward features such as prompts for client certificates and local birthday/calendar syncing.

2026-05-26	Ja*****	I opened DAVx5 today, for the first time in ages, only to be confronted with a screen asking me to agree to something in French... which I do not understand. EDIT: I have sent through the screenshot as requested by the developer.
