eNotify provides private and secure direct local notification for incoming email, phone calls, and battery and cellular data usage. Highly configurable, eNotify supports complex rules with custom alert sounds for different accounts, senders, subjects, recipient addresses, callers, battery events, and cellular data events. Easily silence day-to-day background noise and stay aware of those important emails and calls! Never worry about a low battery or running over on your data plan!

- OVERVIEW -
Want to be notified in a unique way when certain important emails arrive? Find yourself constantly checking your email each time that ding announces itself? Want to make sure an important phone call can pull you out of a meeting? With eNotify you can configure any of 150+ built-in custom audio alerts (including subtle professional tones as well as entertaining ones) to help you stay aware of important messages, and even purchase new tones in our market! In addition to the built-in sounds, you can add your own mp3 files via iTunes file sharing or record your own voice notice within the app for specific needs.

Unlike ALL the other "push email apps" which require you to forward all your email to their external servers or provide them with your email account login information, eNotify does its work *entirely* on your device, working in the background. Your email is safe and your data never leaves your device. None of your information is ever sent elsewhere. Period.

In addition to email messages, users can connect eNotify to a VoIP phone service to help those important phone calls reach through the static. Special phone numbers can be configured to override the device silent switch, making sure that you respond when you need to.

The best way to configure eNotify is to set the standard Mail app to check Manually, with Push disabled, and to disable the built-in new mail sound. This allows eNotify to alert you when new mail arrives and the Mail app will download the messages when you open it. This conserves battery life and generally provides the best possible user experience.

Pros and cons of eNotify app for iPhone and iPad

eNotify app good for

Works with my company gmail, regular gmail and hotmail no prob. I love the push notifications, configurations (inbox, sender, subject...) and the schedule. Occationally the appz needs to be restarted but it notifies you of that as well!

Josh I very responsive to feature requests and bug reports. And the program filter are not the most flexible, but Im able to get different notifications for different folders in my Exchange account (via secure IMAP) which helps in my off-hours work tremendously. And, most importantly for me, this does NOT require you to forward your emails to an intermediate server!

The features are great and, more important, the support is excellent! Im not the brightest when it comes to installing apps, and when I experienced a "duh" moment, Josh was right there to answer my super-dumb questions. What a huge relief it is to know someone is at the other end of my email who actually cares--customer service, and then some. I highly recommend this app! Its easy to install and works like a charm.

Definitely worth it if you need to actually hear your email notifications or are uses to a blackberry. The pop up is super helpful too. The shutting down automatically problem seems to have disappeared with a new update (although even before it was better than the stock notifications). If you are having it shut down you are probably running 15 apps in the background that you arent using. Just turn them off and all your apps will work better (google it if you dont know how. It is easy). Also, support was amazing! Ridiculously fast reply. Buy this app if you need to be properly notified of email and respond quickly.

This app runs perfectly, you just need to get the settings right. I use it every day and it works. It is worth the 4.99.

For those who miss the Priority alerting of Blackberries for mail, this will easily fill that gap! Get this !

Some bad moments

This app only works when it feels like it. Support was available but not super helpful.

Fun. Lots of sound effects to chose from. But only works somewhat. Not reliable if you NEED to know when mail arrives. Tends to shut down for unknown reasons. I get notices that iPad is running low on memory (when its not). Sometimes it tells me the accounts are not configured properly, when nothing has changed.

I have an iPhone 4 but I used to have use blackberries so I was excited to install this app but it was a huge disappointment! It always says my phone is running low on memory even if its not running much apps. Then when it works, it only notifies on some emails but not others. Always need to shut down after a couple hours. Fail!

Here are a couple of reason that I am uninstalling. This will be a good app when some of the bugs are worked out. 1- only works about half the time. Not very reliable if you are using your phone for business. As a result, you end up spending more time checking email just in case you missed one. 2- loves to eat the battery, even when Polling every 20 mins or so.

... now it crashes all the time on my iPhone 4/IOS 5.1.1. Wont play sounds, wont flash updates. I really hope this gets fixed soon!

Except that this program drains my battery and cut my battery time in half. The settings are not very good labeled. Have to try out a lot. Some stuff is disturbing. When its working its working good. Look forward to updates. The price is way to high. I regret the buy half way.
