## Description

Autosync helps you save battery by controlling when your device and apps sync. Instead of constantly syncing in the background, it pauses syncing until your chosen conditions are met, then automatically enables it so apps stay updated without draining power.

Choose from modes like Charging, Wi-Fi, Charging + Wi-Fi, Interval, Manual, or None. It includes quick controls from the notification bar, a clean Material Design 3 interface, on-device privacy (no accounts, no data uploaded), and support for 15 languages. Perfect for extending battery life, reducing data usage, and having full control over when apps sync.

## Review summary

Users praise Autosync for strong control over when syncing occurs and for keeping devices synced continuously via Wi-Fi/charging, with a handy widget and data-saving benefits. However, multiple reviews report reliability problems (sync stopping/crashing), confusing UI with unclear options, and missing features for newer Android versions. Some also note issues with manual sync not functioning. Overall, the app is valued for its concept and practicality but needs reliability improvements and clearer, more up-to-date UI/feature support.

### Pros

- Excellent control over auto-sync (start/stop, on/off, scheduling)
- Keeps the device synced 24/7 while charging and on Wi‑Fi
- Useful widget and overall usefulness for syncing
- Data-saving benefits during syncing

### Cons

- Reliability issues: auto-sync stops/crashes and won’t stay connected
- UI/UX is confusing and settings are hard to understand (single window, unclear what/when to sync)
- Missing updates/features for newer Android versions (quick tile, mobile data syncing)
- Manual sync often not functioning in practice (unable to select or initiate)
