After GoMarks has started up you have to enter your Google login data; the first Full Sync will then begin. There are two types of synchronizations: Full Sync and Fast Sync, although I have to confess that I don’t quite see what the difference between the two functions is. There’s no help button and no app website that explains what the difference is. I generally used Full Sync during the testing period, and it worked really well for me.
Once the first sync is completed you’ll be able to see your Google Bookmarks and can access them within GoMarks by clicking on them. If you click on a bookmark for a long time the following options will appear:
Open
Edit
Remove
Rename
Edit lets you change the name and tag of a bookmark, as well as add notes or, if the bookmark already has notes, to change these notes. You can save or cancel the changes you make by pressing one of the two buttons – Save or Cancel – at the bottom of the display.
You can see options related to your tags within the main display. Click on a tag (a category) for a long time and the following options will appear:
Add bookmark
Remove bookmarks
Rename label
Remove label
The following options pop up when you press on the menu button:
Fast sync
Full sync
Stop (wenn gerade eine Synchronisation läuft)
Add bookmark
Settings
More
Download favicons
Clear local data
Clear local data and logout
Exit
If you want to Add a bookmark simply enter the URL, name, a tag, and notes (if you want to). One of the most useful features is that you can forward bookmarks so that they become part of your Google Bookmarks. In order to do so, select GoMarks in the menu, enter a name, tag, and notes and save the bookmark.
You can switch both options for synchronizing on or off under Settings, as well as set up an interval for automatic synching. You can also decide whether the Favicon should be downloaded each time you sync new bookmarks, and also select which theme (Black or Light) you want to use. Finally, you can create a name for the Default Label.
Bottom line:
One could say that not being able to sort the bookmarks is a small drawback. However, it is possible to display them according to alphabet or date within the browser. Therefore, anyone using Google Bookmarks should be pretty happy with this app.
Seit der letzten Aktualisierung (war da eine?) wird das Google-Passwort nicht mehr gespeichert, so dass man sich jedes Mal erneut anmelden muss.
Lästig.
Ich habe nun die automatische Aktualisierung deaktiviert.
- Und schaue mich nach einer Alternative um, wenn das so bleibt!
