MilkSync BlackBerry App Review

MilkSync is a utility app that lets you wirelessly access your BlackBerry tasks via the “Remember the Milk website”, as well as any internet-enabled PC. The internet connection can be made through your wireless services’ data network or WiFi.

 A trial version of MilkSync is available for a free download, while its licensed versions cost $25/year. Using the app is quite similar to the Tasks application in BlackBerry, but with an added choice “Sync with Remember The Milk”, once a task change had been made. Alternatively, users could Sync directly from the app by selecting “Synchronize Now”. The default setting activates manual synchronizing, even though one could set the app to synchronize automatically, once in five minutes (say). Further, users could choose to sync the entire lists or just the specific ones, as they wish, with the website.

BlackBerry MilkSync app also lets users perform one-way or two-way synchronization. That is, users could add the changes in the computer, and then sync it with the BlackBerry. The MilkSync app for BlackBerry also lets users receive notification of tasks by email, text message, or instant message. Further, you can also choose to share your information with select contacts in the address book or keep it all private. Also, by entering the location, users could get mapped directions, thanks to MilkSync’s association with Google Maps. Conclusion MilkSync for BlackBerry is certainly not the complete application that is available for Apple’s iPhone.

It is more of a synchronization app that enhances the utility of the BlackBerry Task application, by facilitating for wireless synchronization with the RememberTheMilk portal, as mentioned above. However, the app does comes with some additional task features, and makes it a lot more easier to keep track of your tasks over the internet.

Overall, MilkSync is quite a useful app to have in your BlackBerry. Now, try out its 15-day trial version first, and see how the app appeals to you.
