Dispatch: Email meets GTD Reviews

Crashes on startup

TerraDogToday

I used to depend on Dispatch for all my emails. Now, I can't even open the app.

Responding to messages on the iPad is still a memory exercise - there is no way to see the message you're responding to. And the message typing area is cramped. Not a pleasant experience at all. And I've been trying to give Dispatch another chance on my iPhone, but even thought I have background app refresh, cellular data, and notifications turned on, I never get any notifications. That's a shame. Apps like Spark are now making it east to respond to messages from the lock screen. Dispatch is getting left behind because of this.

Deeply flawed notifications

This is an almost-great app. It's got a lot of great workflows and concepts that no other app I know has, but is a little clunky and seems in some ways half finished. It's biggest problem, though, is notifications: it doesn't use push, which means that notifications can't be as instantaneous as some apps. That's fine by me, so long as I'm notified reasonably soon (within half an hour) of getting new mail. Not so with Dispatch. When set to notify with fetch in background, background app refresh, etc. all set, I get notifications *at best* once or twice *a day*. Better to not even offer notifications than offer such poor behavior. This is a total non-starter, which is a shame, because as I said, I think it's got a lot going for it.

Notifications don't work, crashes all the time

It's a good app but the new update still has so many issues. - notifications don't work even if you have background app refresh enabled - unable to attach files. Only images are possible. But this should have been mentioned clearly - crashes a lot, especially when viewing emails from other folders - share sheet doesn't work. Email gets stuck in the outbox and it doesn't get sent at all. Not sure if the developers are reading these reviews, but I hope they do and fix this good app. It has a lot of potential.

Love it

It's great !!

Support non-existent

Contacted support team over 5 times with same simple question over 8 month period. Never received any response of any kind. No acknowledgment of any kind. Nothing. Nada. I double-checked to ensure I had correct address, I searched everywhere in my email for a response (inbox, my spam box, etc.). Nothing there. They just didn't care to respond. And it should have been a really easy question for them to answer.

I love this almost all in one app

I personally love the way that it works with Evernote and Due obviously some of it has a few minor issues but I don't think you can blame that on the developer. I'm so very grateful for this app and I own all apps made by this developer that provides so much integration with other apps.

Not the Email App you are looking for

JWean

Crashes and freezes constantly. Horrible integration with Evernote, stripping all relevant content. No response from developers. No ability to save images from email. If you want to constantly restart your email app then this is for you; otherwise keep looking.

Buy airmail instead

No support, the team doesn't answer emails. Probably because they're using this app and never realized they receive any mail.

Great for email triage on iphone -- freezes on iPad

I have mixed feelings about this app. On one hand, it's great for doing triage on email while away from my Mac. It's easy to delete, forward, file in Evernote, or send to OmniFocus. Makes quick work out of processing that long morning email queue. But trying to do the same thing on my iPad pro often results in the app freezing. I then quit the app, and continue email processing in iOS Mail. Kinda defeats the purpose. I'm deleting it from my iPad, but keeping in on my iPhone.
