This is in opposition to Outlook that creates a publicly shareable link and put it in your message. One way that Mail Pilot differs from the other email app that came out this week is that Mail Pilot downloads the files you want and makes them proper attachments. I also attempted to attach multiple files from different services in the same email and it didn't skip a beat. Each service worked just as you'd expect. In my testing, I attached files from Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Transmit, and Box. Utilizing the new features introduced in iOS 8, Mail Pilot has a document picker built into the app that allows you to browse not just your phone, but third party storage like Dropbox. I'm happy to say that Mail Pilot has one of the better implementations I have seen on iOS. This is a wild card when it comes to iOS email app you never really know how one app is going to treat them. I don't send a ton of email, but when I do, I'm almost certainly attaching at least one file.
MAIL PILOT 2.3.1 REVIEW HOW TO
I always feel like I can get where I need to go quickly, and I'm never confused about how to get there.įor a more detailed look at the navigation concept, Mindsense has a blog post explining the thinking behind it. I don't know exactly how they could do it, but a horizontal implementation of this same concept would be a welcome change.ĭespite my minor frustration, I still enjoy Mail Pilot’s navigation. This makes Mail Pilot a two-handed app if you have one of the latest iPhones. While this may not have been a problem on the iPhone 5S and earlier, it's a challenge on the iPhone 6. Let's take an example, if I'm in my inbox and want to go back to my list of folders, I have to swipe down from the very top of the screen. I like this concept quite a bit, but the implementation is a little off for me. The basic concept is that every screen is always there, and you can swipe one screen out of the way to get at the screen below. In addition to a nice email triage experience, Mail Pilot also brags about their use of the z-axis for navigating around the app. Once I was able to convert to this style of thinking, I came to peace with this system (although I have to admit that I would welcome time-specific reminders in a future update). The goal is to get your inbox clear by the time you go to sleep. Your Today View in OmniFocus shows you everything for the day, even things that aren't supposed to happen until later. And if you think about your inbox as a list of things you need to get done today, then it doesn't matter what time messages appear. You don't mark emails "read", you mark them "completed". Mail Pilot treats your email more like tasks than messages.
MAIL PILOT 2.3.1 REVIEW MAC
Additionally, if I want to set a reminder for more than 4 days, I have to move over to their Mac app. This is some thing that other apps like Outlook and Mailbox give you more freedom to do, and I do miss it in a mail Pilot. For example, I can't get an email in the morning and set it to remind me about that email that evening.
You can't set one for even longer in the future, or for a specific time. One of the limitations of Mail Pilot’s interface in this regard is that you can only set a reminder for 1-5 days from now (or 1-7 on iPad). Swipe left to mark as completed (or "read" in typical email jargon) and swipe right to set a reminder for that message on a later date. Mail Pilot still has its original email swiping interface. Let's get the basics out of the way first. So how does Mail Pilot stand out from the crowd when everyone has adopted their interaction model? Let's take a look. Frankly, if an email app is released today and it doesn’t have this interaction, you have to wonder what they're doing. Mailbox gets the credit for really popularizing the idea, and you can even see it in Microsoft's and Apple's apps today. Back in January 2012, the concept of triage get your emails by swiping them was a new concept (and OMG look at that interface!).
