Sync can sometimes be buggy upon new updates, but it is, by far, the best in terms of customization. AFAIK LJD is still a lone dev for the app, so understandably, there are some gaps before major updates if the app isn’t running well. He just rolled out a lot of major fixes, and I’m happier than ever. It’s definitely worth a try. There are a lot of settings to play with. Don’t just dismiss it overnight.
