Description

The business network XING is the largest of its kind in Europe. Xing  actually also offer their own official Android application, however thus far the official app cannot sync contacts from the users XING profile onto their Android smartphone or Tablet. Thus here is XING Sync, which as the name suggests offers exactly the service the official is lacking.

Functions & Design

To get started the user will have to go to “Account & sync” which is located in the settings menu of their smartphone. From there the user will have to enter in their login details and then decide whether they want it to automatically synchronize or if it should only be manually started each time. It’s as simple as that.

Conclusion

XING Sync is a simple and reliable application. However you will have to take care when synchronizing your contact details from XING to your smartphone because sometimes it may overwrite an existing number you have. For example it my delete one of your collegues home phone numbers for their work number. Otherwise this application does exactly what it’s set out to do, overall it is a very handy application. We tested XING Sync in version 0.5.5.
