Subject: Re: [GNC] Sync with Mobile

I've got that app installed.  But the last time I actually used it, "synchronizing" the data involved exporting the mobile data, importing it into the desktop.  Clunky at best and not what I would call synchronizing the data.

When I read that in the book description, I was hopeful that in the few years since I last investigated gnuCash, someone had made improvements.

Thanks anyway.
