Got potential

I love how the app separates the subject lines yet keeps things grouped by the sender of the email. It makes it much easier to follow threads. I deal with a lot of group emails in my business and community HOA. However I can’t figure out how to attach an image from my iPhone library. It just connects to my files. Also I love the idea of groups, however I don’t see the point as I can’t attach the email addresses in the group to an email. It would be great to click on the group and start an email with all the addresses in the group.
I’d pay for the premium if these fixes were made. Especially attaching an image, not being able to do that is a deal breaker for me.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your valuable suggestions, which have helped us better understand our users' needs and improve our product. We've taken your ideas—direct messaging to groups and support for photo attachments—seriously. Both features have been implemented in version 1.4.1, which we've submitted to the App Store for review. It should be available for update within 1-2 days. Should you have any more observations or areas you believe could be improved, please don't hesitate to share. Thanks again!

Nice!

My wife and I had been using Unibox for years, but since last big Apple Update it is broken and it does not look like developers will be updated it anymore. My wife found this one to replace Unibox since we like chat style and she mentioned it to me, I was skeptical because it was so new and only had two written reviews. I tried it anyways and to my surprise I like it very much. It is nice to have the chat contact feature back! I decided to get in on their limited low price deal - Premium Lifetime. I recommend it for those coming from Unibox and it has better features than Unibox. I also recommend it for anyone who likes the personal chat style like Messages, by the way you can easily tap/click on icon and it will switch to old style email layout if that is what you prefer and then just as easily switch back. I am using both of their Apps for iPhone and Mac. It is simple to use and appealing to the eyes on both.

Hopefully development continues

I almost wish I had waited. I thought the app would be a decent replacement to Unibox, but it seems there are still kinks in the mechanisms.
Took a few weeks for the notifications to show up and now emails are still marked unread after reading multiple times
I paid for lifetime usage, but having had it now for over a month, I think I would’ve waited for it to improve a bit. Hoping the team builds on what they’ve got. There’s plenty of potential.
