MailWrangler for iPad 1.0 Released

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I’m happy to announce that Apple has approved MailWrangler for iPad 1.0 earlier today. It is now available in the App Store for $0.99.

This first release is a bit raw, but it is a first step down the path I started almost two years ago with my initial attempt at releasing MailWrangler for the iPhone. Purchasing it will support me in my endeavor to build a much more powerful app than the current 1.0 version.

MailWrangler is mostly a pet project to fill a personal need. Suggestions and feedback are welcome so that the app can evolve in a way which may make it useful to others.

I’m expecting to put out a 1.1 release later this week which should include at least:

  • fixed account sorting (ascending instead of descending)
  • a built in browser for opening links

This will definitely be a free upgrade.

Check it out on the App Store here.

MailWrangler; Take Two.

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Not one to give up too easily, I’ve decided to try my hand again at releasing an application in theĀ Apple App Store. This time I’m going for theĀ iPad.

I really wasn’t planning on building anything, but I once again ran in to the need to check a couple of different GMail accounts on my iPad. The GMail web interface is really nice on the iPad — and browsing conversations is just much nicer on the native GMail interface. If the iPad Mail.app had threading it might change things — but I’ve found even OS X’s Mail.app threading is nothing compared to GMail’s anyway.

So I’ve submitted a basic MailWrangler Version 1 to Apple. Depending on how this goes I have some things I’d like to do to improve it. I’ve also discovered that with a little bit of effort I might finally be figuring out how to properly use image editing software.
