Our Rating: ★½☆☆☆ :: BELOW AVERAGE :: Read Our Full Review >>

Unfortunately this app has been released before it is ready. I could not get it to work with any POP3 email accounts (and have read customers saying that IMAP didn't seem to work), and I also could not get it to work with GMail. I also tried Hotmail accounts and other generic accounts. None worked with this application in my experience.
