Doesn't do much or give me advanced view. Needs premium subscription it seems. Uninstalled.

The Chrome app itself is great - makes it really easy to add and update contacts. So why one star? The backend system is horrible, and about every three months I have to file a support ticket because of failed synchronization with my Google accounts. I pay for a synchronization service - that doesn't reliably synchronize. And what's worse than a service that doesn't work? A service that doesn't reliably work - because you can't trust it. Support tickets go unanswered for a few days. Then some low-level rep responds, and doesn't seem to understand the issue - despite the fact that I have this same issue about four times a year. Emails back and forth, each from them takes a couple of days, in some cases a week. They'll then promise to "talk to engineering" - which never happens. Again, this is something I pay for. Apparently the company was acquired by Benchmark. I got a nice email from their new CEO talking about the acquisition. I emailed back, congratulated him on the acquisition, and expressed my sincere hopes that under new management they would step up their support game and deliver a functioning service I can trust to work. So far, this hasn't happened. I'm going to finish out my annual subscription, then move to another sync service. The Chrome web app doesn't make up for the backend support failures.
