Every time I launch OmniFocus for iPhone, it tries to sync.
Getting the database synched up when starting to use the program is generally a good idea, but on my iPod Touch, the wi-fi is sometimes slow to connect and the alerts that it can't connect to the internet do get annoying every time I power up.
I use OF so frequently that the constant calls for syncing are overkill and (I suspect) a battery drain.
For iPhone users with limited data plans (hello, Canada) this could cut into their data usage depending on how much data is exchanged in a sync.
Maybe you could add a restriction that it won't automatically try to sync the database if it already has sucessfully synced in the last 'x' minutes. The timeframe could be adjustable by users, unless you think this is drifting into "preferences bloat"
Thanks for your consideration.
