Please improve sync time with Google Contacts or give us the options to push a button and do manual sync. In addition, the syncing breaks down a lot when making changes
The most intuitive way would be that I can keep my contacts in Google, and updates to phone no/email/etc. are bidirectionally synced.
As I understand it, currently I need to manually sync contacts via the iOS contacts app if I want Google -> Dex not the other way around?

This would make me come back and pay for Dex. Right now not syncing to Google is what’s keeping me from using it.

Happy to vote this up. It would be even better if there would be an automatical sync after every edit to a contact. If something was edited in DEX - it would sync this change to Google contacts and vice versa. It is important, that only the newest changes are synced or even change the data as, otherwise, you will have changes on two systems and you aren't sure which one is the most up-to-date one.
