Thrilled to see FastMail tastefully and respectfully grow their ecosystem. I can see that, at least for the iOS app, it's pretty much a web view wrapper; I'm willing to give it a pass for the most part because FastMail's webapp is one of the best I've used… ever.

Even still, as a green-fields iOS app, I'd expect to see a little more in the way of embracing features that are now native. We have notification actions, extensibility, file sharing, and a Pebble SDK too, y'know.

Still, keep up the good work! You'll have my dollars as long as you're not Gmail.

Apart from the Pebble SDK, most of those landed in iOS 8. We were already in testing at the time it came out and our lead developer was preparing to travel, so we decided it was better to release rather than wait a few more months.

Of course there will be updates. We want to do lots more with the app; this is just the beginning :)
