We’re super excited to announce that our latest app, Better Webmail, has just been approved and is now in the App Store!
One of the reasons we’re so excited is that we’ve been using this app ourselves for over a month now and absolutely love it. If you emailed us anytime in the past month then your email was received, read, and replied to in Better Webmail.
Who is Better Webmail intended for? People who…
- Share their iPad / iPod Touch / iPhone with others
- Use multiple Hotmail / Gmail / Yahoo webmail accounts.
- Wish to secure their webmail, while allowing people to continue using Safari?
- Want fullscreen webmail, with no toolbar or address bar.
Better Webmail allows you to have multiple, fullscreen, webmail accounts on your device, all sandboxed from each other so they can be used simultaneously. Every account is encrypted and isolated, meaning that users in Safari, or other accounts, cannot access your email. A PIN number can optionally be added to individual accounts to prevent prying eyes.
Here’s what our testers had to say:
"Fantastic! No longer do I pick up MY iPad and find that my wife has logged me out so she could read her GMail!" – Keith O.
"Being able to use a fullscreen view for Yahoo’s webmail is simply great" – Kurt P. "The whole family use the iPad, but we never set up mail because none of us wanted the others reading our email! This app has made every body very happy!" – Terry.
Features:
- An optimized and secure webmail experience
- Create an unlimited number of secure accounts, each with an optional PIN.
- Choose from one of the default providers, or add your own.
- Fullscreen browsing – no address bar, no buttons
- Universal app – buy once and run on any iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch
- Support for BoxCar / Push Mail apps.
- Full support for Google App accounts.
Let us know what you think!
Just bought the app and noticed a couple of issues. The local url crashes Boxcar when I try to add it and save. Also even though the app is mostly full screen it still shows the system status bar at the top even with the “Toolbar always on” switch set to off. Feature Request: Could you put a badge of unread messages on the icons once you open the app so that we can see what apps have unread messages (similar to Multi-G).
Thanks
Hi Jim,
Thanks for buying! The Boxcar situation is unfortunate – there is a horrible bug in their app where ANY URL will cause Boxcar to crash (e.g. even http://www.google.com). When we submitted to Apple we believed a fixed version would be available, but so far it is not. I have checked in with them but had no response yet.
As an alternative I can personally recommend PushMail – we have no affiliation with them but I have used it myself for over a year now and it’s been flawless. Unlike Boxcar it is not free ($2.99), but it is significantly more reliable and offers nicer options for message previews.
Just had to comment. I think I’ve tried every Gmail client in the AppStore – and yours is the handspan winner. Love the full screen, the integration with Pushmail is great – and the multiple account feature is perfect.
Well done!
Larry
Thanks for the kind words, glad you’re enjoying the app.
We always appreciate reviews on iTunes too
