Users may choose to install the Touchdown™ device app in order to obtain the additional functionality that TouchDown provides.  A TouchDown license can be purchased from Notify Technology Corporation and the application downloaded from the Google Play Store (formerly known as the Android Market).

NotifyLink and TouchDown

Why should I use TouchDown, a third party application, on my device to synchronize with NotifyLink? 
The TouchDown client enables any Android device to achieve a consistent level of functionality and security. 

The variety of Android device models available, while giving users options, often results in differences in functionality across devices.  A sampling of Android devices are regularly put through a certification process for use with the NotifyLink ActiveSync Solution (see a list of tested models on the potral at http://notifylink.notify.net/Android.asp).  This often reveals a lack of consistency in functionality and security across models.  Use of the TouchDown app, provides a way to maintain a standard of functionality for email and PIM synchronization, as well as device security and management.
