I personally prefer (and do) copying all of my transfers recorded in Financisto, into a desktop GnuCash file, by hand, each week at weekend.

Since Financisto to me is mainly quick-noting, I don't create too complex category tree in it. But I do have very detailed category tree in GnuCash, so copying by hand is necessary, since I often have to re-categorize some transcations, add notes, etc. If there's a sync method, I would be forced to have detail info in Financisto, which is not quite what I want. But it's all a matter of taste and habits, I certainly don't think this usage fits everyone.

BTW, I do quite concerned on Financisto's database structure, since IIRC when it displaying a blotter, it's UNION'ing two SELECTs which doesn't use index well (and the UNION itself require twice table scan and a full sort, indexing doesn't help), and my ~4200 transactions aggregated in ~1.5 yrs would take ~1.5 sec on HTC Sensation to display blotter of an account. I plan to try something radical modifying the db structure in Chinese lunar new year holidays to see if there's any help :p
