    - The paid version syncs more fields than the free version.
-   - The Android platform is deliberately broken in several ways in order to push users toward use of proprietary services;  one side effect of this is to use a third-party backend you also need to install a third-party contact editor.  But you can easily make this your default editor.  The recommended editor is "Contact Editor Pro"; either the [free](http://dmfs.org/editor/?free) version or the [paid](http://dmfs.org/editor/) version.

    - It requires that collection paths end in a "/".
    - Requires that contact collections publish an "addressbook" resource type.
