Last week was released iOS 13 and it comes with new exciting features that are now available for all users around the world. The new Email Me version 3.7 is now taking advantage of them. Here's a short summary of everything that this release includes.

Dark Mode

The new iOS 13 comes with one important addition which is Dark Mode. Email Me had already themes including Dark Mode in previous versions but now it takes the possibility of selecting the option to automatically switch to Light/Dark Mode whenever the OS switches. You can select this option in the Settings -> Theme Sreen.

Iconography

Email Me now comes with a brand new set of icons for the different Settings screens making it now more clear for the users what each action is suppose to do. This iconography is backward compatible all the way to the minium version that Email Me supports iOS 9.0.

Refactoring Settings

I've been wanting to reorganize the settings screens for a while. Now, adding the new icons was the perfect chance to do so. All the information and different settings options are now grouped more readily. I've added new shortucts and more information for the users making it more clear and easier to find what they need. Check them out.
