Update on 8/9
Well, this is my last update. Im moving over to another app. The level of bugs just come to a stage that is unbearable. I started using AirMail desktop app so early on. The iPhone app was fine. Its said to see it comes down so quickly to this level.
Ill give you two stars this time , simply thanks to the good old days.
Update on 7/21
Downloaded for less than 24 hours and already crashed 4 time, including one losing a long draft. What can I say ... After this many times of trying, I think its not that they dont care, its because they are not capable for doing it well ...
Update on 6/16
After apples design reward, I decided to give it another try. I do like its feature set after all.
Within two days, I already had several crashes. One of them is after composing a long email, and everything got lost. SAME AS BEFORE. After this long, developers NEVER looked into this crash issue. I just cannot believe how careless they are.
Just in case you are wondering how to reproduce these crashes, its easy. Get an iPhone 6/6+, create a long email thread, and it will crash soon.
ONE STAR FOR CARELESS DEVELOPERS.
Update on 4/13 ----------
After using Spark for weeks, I noticed AirMail got an update. So I decided to give it another chance.
First, I have to say the recent release makes this app slightly better -- search is faster, the most recent conversations pop in first (come on! Why originally the oldest emails showed up first?!) Hence one more star.
But as to crash, still the same. I have a thread with 70 emails and it crashes every single time. Also, developers, please stop asking me to send you video. I assume you do have crash logs on your server, do you?
Finally this release was really badly organized. My app simply couldnt start. I had to delete and redownload. Dont say you are doing maintenance while most likely you messed up your server side.
You better catch fast -- once Spark has native gmail label support, Ill drop AirMail in a heartbeat, if it still doesnt improve.
Original review --------------
If you have a long thread, it crashes; if you have a bigger attachment, it crashes; if you tap around, it crashes. And these issues have bee there for years! Hello? Any developer here?
To AirMail Developers: you are so detached from your users. Just get an iPhone 6/6+, create a thread with a few back and forth replies with attachments, you will see the crash. I see it in daily basis.
Also, the search is really really slow, and bad result. Already move to Spark. Way better.
