Iridium Mail & Web for Android
Lost emails every time I used it. Worked extensively with iridium support and they acknowledged there was a problem but couldn't or wouldn't help recover info about the emails. Maybe other things work but email is full of bugs. Be careful.
I have tried to use the email function on this device and a note 2. It will not send or receive on either device. It connects with the Iridium GO, but says there is no inbound or outbound mail. I know there is because I have emailed the address for the account and have mail in the outbox. Solution please! In addition it will not open mobile website that are suggested on the Iridium site.
Very happy with it. Yeah some bugs and running in background is annoying. But hey we are talking worldwide calling, email, sms and much more in a device the size of a sandwich. Think to many people glance over this amazing feat and vompare with the www
Works but to read first few lines in email you have replay or forward that message. Also status bar shows notification that checking for email but it's fake because the only way to get email is manual send&recive. And there is no UTF-8 support
Never once been able to send an email. Failed to connect to network every time.
Runs in the background when you are not connected to iridium.. can view the first few lines of an email. User interface is well.. terrible. You have to go to menu to hit send once you finish writing an email...
I'm grateful to have the app, but annoyed by the bugs and limitations. It keeps notifying me every 60 seconds or so that it is checking my mail, but I'm not connected to the GO! I have to actually kill the background process to make it stop - it shouldn't be running in the background. Also, the fact that you can't check iridium mail from a normal internet connection is a frustrating limitation.
This app works, but the header of emails covers the first few lines of the body on my Galaxy Note 4, a workaround is to click Forward and read the email in the draft window.
Cool
Reminds me of running programs on DOS. Produces a notification on my status bar when I am not even connected to the Iridium Go. Iridium Go is only good for text messages. It is too slow to browse or anything like that. I can only connect to the Email account with the Iridium. You should be able to check/ clear the queue through a regular Internet connection.
Will not show MENU or CREATE buttons. Older phones OK. Please fix. UPDATE on 8/14/14: I found that on the G5 the "multitasking" key can be long pressed to bring up the menu. I now can "create" & "send" emails. Took about 1 minute to send via the GO a short email. Changed rating up to 4 star and I'll continue to test out the app.
