replying in Wide Email

So is there no way this app can reply to emails?

If so how do you do it?
Thanks.

It's explained in the description of the app in iTunes and on the app's website (lizzardwerks.com) ... Basically you start replying in Apple's Mail, and once the compose window comes up, you switch to Wide Email to type the text. When you tap "send to Mail" it automatically inserts the text into the reply, ready to send.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Pat

Meh, I don't send that many e-mails on my iPhone, but I text a lot. Landscape SMS would kill it!

This is Pat, the developer of Wide Email.

Just wanted to let everyone know that a new version of Wide Email that fixes the problem with accented (é, ü, etc) and non-English characters (like Japanese) has been sent to Apple for review, and should be available as a free update for all Wide Email users in a week or two.

For those of you who haven't checked it out, here's the app store link:

Cheers,

I emailed the developer of this application 2x. I had specific questions concerning the functionality of his product. To date, I have not received a reply. This seems to be habit with the app. developers I've dealt with thus far.

If you want to sell your product Pat, pay attention to your potential customers. With all of the iPhone and iPod Touch users clamoring for a landscape keyboard, there's a good chance it'll be added in the next software update.

Hey Pat (or others),

I've read in several reviews on itunes store that some people are having problems with crashes after typing up LONG emails.

Has this issue been resolved?
Is there a character limit in what Wide Email is able to handle?

thanks in advance.

This is Pat, developer of Wide Email. The problem with sending long emails was a bug in an earlier version of the app. The current version (1.2) has no problem with sending long emails .. I've tested it with a very long email and it worked fine.

Also, I've listed below some new features that are coming in version 2.0, which I've already submitted to Apple for review and should be available soon to all Wide Email users as a free update. But first, let me reply to hamiltonrrwatch:

Sorry about that hamiltonrrwatch. I went through a lull in responding to help emails for 2-3 weeks because I was off getting married! I normally reply to help emails within a few days (I have a day job that keeps me busy) and I've since replied to every help email I've received. Again, sorry for the temporary silence.

Now, those update details for version 2.0:

• Users can view more of the message at once while typing: subject line moved into top bar, and iPhone status bar hidden when in landscape mode.

• Shortcuts can insert multiple lines. For example, "adr" could insert your whole 3-line mailing address. Also enables shortcuts to insert multiple paragraphs.

• Drafts in the auto-saved, "sent drafts" list can now be deleted one at a time as well as all at once.

• Fixes bug in which using the ampersand (&) would cause everything after the ampersand to be cut off when transferring text to Mail.

• Other small bug fixes and improvements.

Cheers,
Patrick

Thanks for the detailed reply Pat. Congrats on getting hitched, btw.

I like your responsiveness in these forums. I like the looks of your app. And I like the coming features. Gives me confidence that if we (users) run into issues, you'll help address them. You seem to listen to your customers.

I'm buying it for my wife and my iphones. Keep up the great work!! Thanks.
