Hands on: Evomail offers a small twist on Gmail for iPad
Evomail, a $3 Gmail client for the iPad, launched Thursday morning in the App Store.
Evomail lets you share messages via social networks.
While the creators—who also developed the once-much-loved Boxcar notification service—promise that Evomail will be beautiful and innovative, at launch it looks and feels a lot like Gmail’s own free app for iOS: Both apps let you access multiple Gmail accounts, both let users search their entire mail archives, both let users see threaded conversations and profile pictures, and both let you send attachments more easily than Apple’s native Mail app.
There are some differences, however, between Evomail and Gmail for iOS.
The biggest of those is the use of gestures in Evomail. In Gmail, users tap onscreen buttons in order to perform actions. However, in Evomail, a swipe to the right, for example, lets you automatically reply to the email on your page. (And you can set the app to “send and archive,” disappearing an inbox item as soon as you’ve replied and moving you closer to Inbox Zero.)
