His full response follows:Īirmail for iOS is now free and new users can use the app with a single account and no push notifications.Ĭustomers who purchased the app can still have access to multiple accounts but not push notifications which, is a side service of the app and is not preventing the use of the app's core functionality. Update: In a statement provided to MacRumors, Airmail developer Leonardo Chiantini said the change was made due to "increasing backend service expenses" and argued that making push notifications a subscriber-only feature does not affect the app's core functionality.Ĭhiantini added that existing users will continue to have access to multiple email accounts. In the meantime, other popular third-party email apps for iOS include Microsoft Outlook, Spark, Polymail, and Canary Mail.īloop also recently raised the price of Airmail for Mac from $9.99 to $26.99. If you swipe from the left, more options emerge, including access to folders for to-do lists, snoozed emails, and attachments. The app has a straightforward, minimalistic design with a single unified "All Inboxes" view for quick email management. Paul Peelen July 15, Airmail now requires a subscription without any prior notification and from an app I’ve already paid for? What are you thinking? Bye bye Airmail! #airmailĪt face value, the change appears to violate Apple's App Store Review Guidelines, which state "if you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for." We've reached out to Airmail and Apple for comment.Īirmail for iOS won an Apple Design Award at WWDC 2017. IAP and subscriptions should be used for new func not existing. Especially when the feature itself didnt really work well from the beginning.
In my opinion it is bad practice to suddenly remove a feature and make it paid one (on an paid app).
You lost me.Īnd so came an end to using #Airmail. Just tried it out and it feels great!Īnd for the record, I would drop money for new features but not for that. #airmail if it bothers you that email client you paid for wants you to pay subscription for *existing* features, try. Push notifications now require a subscription.
