Sync or No Sync

Is there future plans to have the ability to change the settings for individual wallets to sync or not sync. Example. Say I want all my website info synced but not my Financial data. I would create a separate wallet and like to be able to set a "No Sync" option on just that wallet so that it is only local to my handheld and not synced to my web account.

Thanks.

Hello Craig.

There are no such plans. I sense that number of people who would get confused will be much larger than those who would benefit. We'll keep our ears open though, so thanks for letting us know your opinion.

Hi Denis,

I had just written a review on itunes saying that I had trust issues and would alleviate my concerns with web sync by choosing which wallet to sync or not sync. Only after posting that review did I discover this FAQ stating that was not available.

I don't think you give the users enough credit, if you thing that such an option would confuse us. If that is the case, then you could add the option to sync or not sync a particular wallet with the option defaulted to sync. That way, only those of us that want to use the option to set a specific wallet not to sync would search out the setting to turn syncing off for the desired wallet.

Hi Victor, thanks for posting a review and for coming here - this is the best feedback approach I could possibly ask for.

I don't mean to imply that most people will get confused, most will not and only a few will. However even if its only one in fifty that's still a few hundred upset people for me to deal with. I always answer all support requests, no matter the reason. This means (given the prices I am selling at) I have to make it so that as few questions arise as possible. I just can't afford to guide any sizable proportion of the users through troubleshooting. Worse yet, many affected people would only discover they are affected after they lose / break their iPhone. At this point it wouldn't matter whose fault it was - I will have very angry customers and bad reviews to deal with. And yes, there will be people who play with settings and leave them in the wrong position without remembering. I have stories to tell about that.

So when adding new features I am trying to make it hard to stumble and always weigh this against number of people who will benefit. I would imagine most people who have such reservations would probably not even use Memengo Wallet at all. Well now that there is two of you, I might revise my opinion. :-)

In the mean time I suggest installing any of the dozens of other apps that are without the cloud-sync option. This will also subconsciously remind you which of your data is backed up and which isn't.

While I do not always do as requested I always appreciate the requests themselves. A few requests about the same subject can also change my opinion over time, so thank you for contributing.
