SyncML LITE 4 4.5

SyncML LITE 4 is a specialized application designed for synchronizing iOS contacts with servers or services utilizing the SyncML standard. It is important to note that this app exclusively supports SyncML-based synchronization.

Users should only consider installing SyncML LITE 4 if they are certain that SyncML is the required synchronization method, potentially based on recommendations from their organization's IT department. Successful usage of this app requires knowledge of specific details including the sync server URL, login credentials, and the server path for contacts. These details must be obtained from the SyncML service provider; the developers of the SyncML client app do not offer support for configuration.

While SyncML was established in 2000 and once commonly supported by feature phones, it has largely been replaced by more modern technologies such as CalDAV and CardDAV, which are natively supported by iOS. Nevertheless, SyncML remains viable for certain legacy systems, and for these scenarios, SyncML LITE 4 is a suitable option.

SyncML LITE 4 represents an update to the original SyncML LITE app, providing compatibility with iOS 10 and later versions (the prior version was limited to iOS 9). For users needing calendar synchronization, alternatives like SyncML PRO 4 or Tasks+Cal+Sync 4 are recommended.

Key features of SyncML LITE 4 include:

• A free application focused solely on contacts synchronization—users seeking calendar synchronization should look into SyncML PRO 4 or Tasks+Cal+Sync 4.
• Utilizes a robust and extensively tested SyncML engine (libsynthesis) that powers numerous SyncML client and server products across various platforms.
• Enables synchronization of selected iOS contact stores to any SyncML-compliant server or service accessible over the internet or local network.
• Functions as a SyncML server within a local Wi-Fi network to facilitate synchronization with older mobile devices.
• Introduces a contacts list feature that allows users to quickly assign or remove group memberships for contacts—a new capability in this version.
