eM Client 4+

I used this program on my PC for years and really liked it. This new IOS version is close to being my new default email app. Features I love include the ability to translate content inline (I correspond with French companies frequently) and then write a reply in English that can again be translated inline. This is a really great feature for my needs. The only negative I have at the moment is it takes quite a while to check for new email. It’s still relatively fast but compared to other apps, it’s not in the same league. Anyway, I’m excited about this app.

I found the desktop app in 2012. Even back then eM Client was doing things no other mail client was doing, and doing other things better. It's all I've used ever since. There's some early feedback in other reviews about apparent issues with the first release of the iOS app. I'm experiencing some of the same things, but I think it's worth pointing out that they could have turned out an under-baked iOS app any time they wanted. Instead, they waited and gave us something that truly displayed their desire to live up to the desktop experience that made many of us excited to give this app a try. If messages or message notifications are slow to come in right now, you can trust they will prioritize a fix. Just give them sufficient time. In the meantime, go through all the settings. There's a depth of control that is surprising for a mobile mail client, and you just might find something that allows you to fix an issue that appeared to be a bug at first.

Have been waiting for EM Client for IOS for some time and have been using it for several months now. There are problems and shortcomings that should be addressed, perhaps in a more urgent fashion.

There seems to be a significant lag in what my iPad screen shows vis-a-vis the action that was just completed. E.g. Delete a message in the Inbox and it remains visible on-screen. Have to select another email to clear it.

More formatting features on-the-fly would be greatly appreciated.

There is a keystroke delay at times that slows typing an email down to a painful crawl. It's as if the keystrokes are first being sent via dial-up to a server and then bounced back as an echo.

No IOS Share Sheet for the app. E.g. Forwarding a news article that has no native button in it. This necessitates first having to copy the link manually, paste it into the email body and then copy the article header and pasting it in Subject.

However, the big PLUS is that EM Client enables me to create Local folders on my iPad and store them safely and privately while removing them off of the ISP server. This is a feature that none of the email apps I've tried offer.

EM Client is still my default email app as of now and I look forward to the app's designers releasing more updates.
