All of Wiki, because it's not just a client, it's the whole of Wikipedia (minus pictures) locally stored on your phone and that is amazing.

I forgot I installed Mailbox until this morning when I learned I can finally use it. Somehow I missed that it's gmail only though which renders it as useless to me as the actual gmail app.

i like this new thing http://forecast.io, which installs through safari and is v slick and has the info i need

so sorry if this is a dumb question but: the wifi on my iphone doesn't work anymore due to unfortunate moisture contact, so now all texts are actually text messages instead of imessage messages, which means i'm running up against my text limits for the first time. are there any apps that will let me "text message" via 3G but without counting against my actual texts? i don't know how this would work. this is dumb.

iMessage doesn't need wifi to work, iirc. it will use normal data and not SMS to message anyone with an iPhone

If iMessage isn't working for some random reason, you could always get a Google Voice number and use that app to send SMS

is there a way to make "texts" only go through imessage and not shift over to text message ever? does that make sense?

ah figured it out, nevermind. thanks!

n/a, not a dumb question at all. Did you try looking in your settings just to make sure it didn't switch off iMessage for some reason?

Actual messaging apps that only use data:

Kik
What's App

And there is another one with a ocean/reef-type name but I don't remember its name at the moment. Beluga was good but got acquired by Facebook.

no imessage was always working but i didn't want it to do the thing where it switches over to text when the message can't go through SMS for whatever reason - my wife has bad phone connection in her office and so that happens sometimes. but we only have 20 texts left for the next 12 days apparently.

Settings > Messages > Send as SMS controls that

kind of sweet, this story of a struggling young couple trying to stretch 20 texts over 12 days - kind of thing you tell your kids someday

i would

like the dying patient who rouses once every two days just long enough to whisper '…i love you…', but in phone form

feel like the rotw should get together and record a charity single for the people of america and their mobile phone contracts.

man im not sure im confortable w mailbox fucking w my gmail like this, but on the other hand im really into the idea of scheduling emails to show up later, dont know what to do

the gmail app seemed real slow and funky i deleted it

also like if you get in the flow of using mailbox then what do you do when youre using gmail webmail there is no scheduling option there

it is disgraceful that gmail app takes 15-20 seconds to load yr inbox and then usu shows you outdated inbox that you have to pull to refresh

Like liter

email is easy just get messages and reply to them, why does everyone have to make such a big complicated mess of this

don't use mailbox

Gmail app has been fast and reliable IME. It would be nice if it would snooze emails.

also like if you get in the flow of using mailbox then what do you do when youre using gmail webmail there is no scheduling option there

You can use Boomerang for scheduling when using Gmail on your computer.

gmail app sucks on my ipad, it takes forever to refresh the inbox

yeah it does on my iphone too... i dont know whats up with that

if only ios came with something built in that you could use

I was very excited about Mailbox but am underwhelmed and deleted it.

gmail app looks real nice and plays nicer w/ gmail than mail app does but dang is it slow and annoying, mailbox is way better

love the scheduling, unified inbox, gestures, its faster than gmail too

if only ios came with something built in that you could use

'mail' is fast true but it looks dumb now after i got used to gmail

support pencil thin sans serif fonts against pure white backgrounds for everything

mail.app is useless at searching inboxes

Mail has lost more than one draft of mine in dodgy network conditions. Still, it's better than the "you'll always have network" Gmail app

Sparrow is still pretty rad

i wouldn't feel comfortable using it knowing the company was acquired

While we’ll be working on new things at Google, we will continue to make Sparrow available and provide support for our users.

it's better than the gmail app! and it's... owned by the same people!

dom leca sold out, give in to the only real mail client on ios

Mail?

Because Mailbox is owned by Dropbox

yeah mail

mail suxxx

that's what i use. but then again i'm crazy and use @me for my email. i have a gmail account but it just sits there. if i were still on gmail i'd use google's gmail app

please don't tell me you're all on fantastical too

and cobook or whatever

the last post on sparrow's blog is their acquistion post

let's take bets whether or not this will be another posterous sitch where they keep it around for a bit until they don't

then again i think friendfeed is still up
