Description
SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts syncs your iCloud contacts. Due to its implementation as sync adapter it integrates seamlessly with the native contacts app and operates invisible in the background.This app is bundled with Contact Editor Pro to allow you to edit synced contacts on pre-Android 4 devices.
Also, check out SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar to sync your iCloud calendars!
Important note for Android 4.1 and Galaxy S4 users: To prevent the removal of your accounts on reboot install this app (before you install SmoothSync):

As of Android 4.2 this issue is fixed and the workaround no longer necessary (except for Galaxy S4 devices), please uninstall it.
HTC One users please check out this site first: http://dmfs.org/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Sense_issue

The app is designed to be as user friendly as possible. Just enter your account data and SmoothSync will keep your contacts in sync.
The app will not sync Contacts from other accounts (like Google) to iCloud!
Please, if you find a bug send me an email. Without detailed error description I often can't do anything especially when I can't reproduce it.
Important! If your phone removes the accounts on reboot, move the App back from SD card to the phone. Some phones (if not all) can't handle sync adapters on SD Card properly. Also check if you need the workaround app mentioned above.
Thanks to the guys at http://www.busymac.com/ for their support!!

Absolutely Fantastic These apps work flawlessly with iCloud. Pity HTC don't know how to write software but glad to say it works great on the Galaxy S4. A very good reason to ditch HTC.

Work around not working :( Marten, still having issues. I love this app, but even with the work around installed it wont sync, when it randomly does the contacts drop out if the phone is restarted. This happens on my tablet and my SG2. Tried to us CardDAV instead but it doesnt seem to work either. HELP! (when it works, its a 5 star!)

Works good If you have iCloud and like to keep your Android and Apple stuff organized, this app and the calendar app are the way to go. Worth the small price.
