Sparrow for Mac changed the way we interact with email clients. And the company has now debuted the iPhone version of this email client for $2.99. The company teased that they are working on an iPhone app months before, and today, the app has finally landed on the App Store today. But this version of the app does not come with Push Notification since Apple mailed them that the app is using VoIP service on the device to get push notifications.
Talking more about the App without Push notification, which is probably the most essential feature of any mail client, Hoà says that the company has to setup a separate server containing the login information of the users to provide push notifications, which the company is a little reluctant to do, considering the security issues involved. So right now, you have to refresh the app manually to fetch emails from the servers.
