The built-in actions have undergone significant updates as well. I use both Dropbox and Droplr for sharing screenshots and files with readers and coworkers, and I like the idea that the Dispatch developers had: I can save taps because I don’t have to move between apps and then paste URLs in Dispatch, and I can use the app to quickly reference files that I’ve already uploaded without using the Droplr app or Boxie.
For Droplr, Dispatch will ask you for your login credentials and it’ll then display a Droplr popup with thumbnail previews for all your previously uploaded files tap one, and the Droplr short URL is inserted into the message. Switching between apps is automatic and you only have to pick the file that you want to share through a URL with someone else. Tapping the Dropbox button will take you to the Dropbox app (if installed) so you can tap a file, generate a shareable URL, and place that URL back into the message – all with two taps. For Contacts, this means that you can scroll your contact list, pick a contact, and choose the field that you want to send over email.ĭropbox and Droplr integration is interesting. When composing a message, you can now tap the arrow button above the keyboard to insert a contact’s information or a link from Dropbox/Droplr directly into the message. The other big addition of Dispatch 1.3 is direct integration with Dropbox, Droplr, and iOS Contacts.

Because of the issues I’m having with Exchange and the Archive button on iOS’ Mail app, I can enjoy the push notifications of Exchange through Apple’s app, but fire up Dispatch to quickly archive messages and create reminders for them. Thanks to Dispatch’s settings for folders that are synced via IMAP, I set the app’s quick move feature to archive messages into my new /Archive folder, and the menu worked reliably from the unified inbox for each account. I am moving away from Gmail this week, and, in my tests with the beta of Dispatch 1.3, the app correctly configured my new accounts via IMAP. From the All Inboxes view, you can manage and respond to messages as usual, but you can also search and compose a new message without switching to an individual account’s view. With today’s 1.3 update, Dispatch gets even more powerful and versatile with the addition of a unified inbox: a feature that I had been asking for since the first version of the app, unified inbox is a new top-level item in the app’s sidebar and it groups all, unread, and starred messages from all your configured accounts’ inboxes. Thanks other several minor features and details (such as custom salutations and link actions), Dispatch became a fantastic alternative to Apple’s Mail app for users who wanted more out of their iPhone email client. In September, the app was updated with iOS 7 background fetch, message search, and a change to individual message links that allowed iOS apps to open specific messages directly in Dispatch. Released in June, Dispatch stood out from similar apps as it implemented a powerful feature set that took advantage of native iOS apps to bring inter-app communication and snippets to mobile email. Dispatch is my favorite third-party email client for the iPhone.
