Boomerang : Email myself

Good successor to Captio that has not been updated & no longer works with several apps. Nor does Captio respond to requests for help. Boomerang was simple and working good but has stopped sending photos. One of my primary uses is sending pictures of receipts to my computer for expense tracking. App support link is a dead end. Feedback link in app gets no response. Maybe this review will prompt a response. Edit-developer did respond & mentioned poor upload bandwidth being a possible culprit. Subsequent testing on my part was successful & I’m back in business & giving the thumbs up for Boomerang. Changing my 2 star rating.

Have tried 4 times to launch the app, but it sends the 4 digest 12 hours or not at all! No support site or support email. — — — Tried again after developer responded to my problem.... and it worked fine!! Two feature requests: 1) add capability to assign a pre-fix and suffix to the subject. So if my subject was “Buy Flowers”, a pre-established suffix of “ on today” would result in a subject of “Buy Flowers on today”. There are some productivity apps ( GQueues for example ) that allow email based adding of tasks and they key off of certain phrases in the subject line. 2) allow multiple email connections. Most of us have Multiple email accounts ( personal and work ) and it would be nice to have a default account exile optionally selects an alternate account when needed.

Upgraded from an older App that did the same thing (Captio). This does the same thing, and does it with a better interface and more options. Look forward to trying Siri integration! It would be nice if the app offered a widget for the Today screen. Not sure if iOS allows it, but if you could type and send a note to your self from the widget that would be pretty useful.

It may be simple, but Boomerang is one of the most indispensable apps on my phone. I use it many times a day to capture ideas, reminders, notes, etc., to deal with later as part of my email processing. It’s being actively maintained, too... in fact the developer just put out a major revision. Much appreciation for this app!

This is one of those apps that fill a much needed void. It allows you to keep a track of things most important to you. Of course there are 100 ways to remember things and also saving internet links. But this app simplifies all of that for you.
