Apple overhauled the email experience with iOS 6, but there are some new apps around that have managed to gain a considerable number of users.

iOS is a pretty user-friendly mobile platform, and almost anyone can use it without having to be a geek. Having said that, this simplicity can, at times, cost the OS in terms of functionality. To keep things simple on the surface, there are areas of iOS that can become annoying for users due to their lack of certain capabilities. One such feature is the restriction on sharing photos via email. By default, iOS allows users to attach a maximum of 5 photos with a single email. Even if the photos are a few KBs in size, you will have to keep sending new mails to share more than 5. Instamail Photo is an app for iPhone and iPad that counters this issue by letting you attach as many photos as you want to emails. The mails will still be sent by the default mail client configured on your iPhone, but there will be no hindrance when you try to select more than five images to attach to the mail. Read More
