Know Who’s Calling with Sync.ME

Just imagine if somebody created an app that can identify unknown callers, guard you against spam calls, and sync your phone contact list with your contacts’ social network information, all at the same time. You would be able to connect the face with the number and be up to date with what is happening with your friends, family, or business partners. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

Well, what if we told you that there IS an amazing app that does just that!

Let Us Present You Sync.ME!

Sync.ME app ensures you keep all of your contacts from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, VK, and LinkedIn in one place. This synchronized platform is available for Apple iOS and Android, so all you need to do is download the application and it will automatically synchronize the latest photos, information, phone numbers, and email addresses of your contacts.

Whenever any friends and colleagues post on social media, you are automatically updated – without having to do anything. Pretty great, don’t you think? In addition, Sync.ME acts as a guardian by automatically detecting spam calls and telemarketers and identifying any unknown calls which might come your way. Now, that’s what we call handy.

It’s no wonder that, in such a short time, Sync.ME has made quite a boom: a number of 20 million users speaks for itself.

Why Sync.ME?

The idea to create Sync.ME came to the founder, Ken Vinner, while he was thinking of a simple and efficient way to add pictures to his phone contacts. As you probably know, doing this manually is a tedious task and Vinner desperately wanted to avoid it. So, he decided to develop an app that could sync his Facebook friend list with his phone contact list.

Being a time-saver, Sync.ME spread like wildfire, and in time the service came to include other social networks like LinkedIn and Twitter. Vinner added on new features, such as social network status updates, CV summaries, birthday reminders, caller ID, block spam calls, unique ME cards (displaying all the important info about you and acting as your own digital identity card), and many others.

Who’s It For?

The initial draw for users is Sync.ME’s social integration. Similar to many attempts at creating a ‘social address book’, such as those by handset maker HTC with its ‘Sense’ customisation, or the late Palm’s ‘Synergy’, Sync.ME integrates with Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as a phone’s existing contacts, and essentially merges or ‘syncs’ that contact data into a single entry for each contact.

Obviously, Sync.ME comes with an attractive plus: social integration. It is trying to bring some sense and order to contacts scattered across different networks and platforms, and so far, it’s doing this quite well. Usually, these kind of solutions are lacking the “social” part, but with over 20 million downloads, that is not a problem.

Plus, with ME Card, you’ll keep your friends and colleagues updated with your latest contact details. They’ll be automatically updated when you change your phone, job, address or any other information. The best of all? You still have control over how your information as the ME Card allows you to choose how you appear in your friend’s phones.

Creating your ME card is really easy and everything works fast and seamless. For example, you can feature your business card! Just align the business card with the box, tap the screen to focus the image, and take a photo. Moments later, it will appear on your profile and you’ll have it on your phone too. Like shooting fish in a barrel, right?
