Hi, I am on day 2 of my trial period and I have noticed the following couple of things.
The Nickname field does not sync with Google. I can enter a nickname in VueMinder and one in gmail contacts and they remain completely independent. This may be a simple case of the cross-reference fieldname being wrongly defined.
gmail contacts allow a contact to belong to multiple groups, but does not have a "Category" field. So groups in Google tend to be used as categories. VueMinder only allows on Group per contact, but does allow multiple categories per contact. Can I suggest that it may be better to cross-reference VueMinder's Category field to Google contact's Group field?

Re: Incompatibilities with Google Contacts
Hi IngeJones, thank you for the feedback. I'll fix the next version to properly sync the Nickname field. I'm also planning to better integrate the Category and Group fields. I'll post a reply when an update is available.
Thank you for trying VueMinder. Please let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.

Re: Incompatibilities with Google Contacts
Thank you for replying. You may be interested to know that my favorite feature of this application (which I downloaded purely for the purpose of handling my Google stuff offline) is the whole-year calendar view. I find the Google one month at a time views impossible when it comes to planning things like booking annual leave and counting up how many days I have already booked
