## What is MailShot Pro?

Easily manage and send email to groups from the app, or share documents directly to groups from other apps, or forward email to a group.

This version of our popular app will create up to 100 groups, each with typically 100 contacts. (Limits depend on your email provider.)

Create groups in many ways: add from Contacts, import an address book group, enter addresses directly, or paste strings of names and addresses.

MailShot creates its own groups, which can do several things which regular address book groups cannot...
• Contacts can use different email addresses for each group. (Add work address to a work-related group, and home address to a sports group etc.)
• Contacts do not need to be present in your address book.

An optional plugin is available to check all the email domains for the addresses in a group, as an error there is a common cause of group email problems. It will also check any new addresses you add.

TIPS
• Protect privacy by placing addresses in the Bcc: line.
• To forward an email (with attachments), “Copy to clipboard" then paste to the address line in your Mail app.

SUPPORT
We pride ourselves on the quality of our support and are always happy to hear from you. Please use the "Support" button in the app, as this includes diagnostic information.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-03-29, version 10.2*

This app is an absolute life saver. Trying to make groups on my Gmail from my computer was an absolute pain. This app is so easy to setup, and I can easily make groups and subgroups on the fly.

### 3/5 — Search function is lacking

*2025-11-05*

This app would be so much better if the search function was more versatile. Right now, if you search for a name or email, it shows you which group that name is located in but doesn’t give you the ability to go right to that name. You have to go into the group and scroll until you find it. You should be able to search within a group and it should take you right to the email you are looking for. At the VERY least, the names and emails should be organized alphabetically. They are just thrown in a group.

### 1/5 — It does not work!

*2024-02-05, version 10.2*

Just purchased Mailshotpro for my iPad which is running iOS 17.2. I had watched a U-tube video and it appeared to do exactly what I wanted for sending group emails. But it does not work as it does not create a group contact in “Contacts”. Rather a waste of £3.99.
SO BE WARNED..

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2023-03-10, version 10.2*

Love this app. So easy to use. If issues arise the support is above and beyond. Highly recommend.  Super pleased.

### 3/5 — Format doesn’t work.

*2022-12-12, version 10.2*

There’s no way to increase font size. I can’t format my email.

### 5/5 — Catriona

*2022-03-29*

This app works great for communicating with a group. I use it for a golf league and it works very well. Peter the developer gets back to you immediately if you have a question or a problem. Both times i reached out to him his quick answer solved my problem. I would recommend this app very highly

### 5/5 — Excellent support

*2021-10-02*

Started using the app to manage my client list. Then recommended to wife to install it on her pad to manage golf women’s club members, since she wants the list readily available when she is at the club, the app was added to her iphone as well. We then noticed the lists between the two devices are not in sync. After emailing the support, Peter promptly provided suggestions for us to try, with Peter’s help, we eventually fixed the problem, now the two devices are perfectly in sync.
It is a hit and miss to get good software support even for pricy ones.
The app is simple and easy to use, for a price of a cup of coffee, you can’t go wrong!
Suggestion for improvement- a simply duplication check will make it even a better app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your great comments. Please drop me a line from the Support button in the app to explain your suggestion, if you haven't already, I'd love to hear it.

(Mailshot does spot duplicates if you try to add the same email address to a group more than once, and will also remove duplicates automatically when you use Multi mode to send to two groups at once. The next update will also let you search for a contact among your groups)

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-06-15, version 9.3*

It does perfectly what Apple fails to do.

### 5/5 — Thank you for all your help.

*2021-04-28*

Many thanks to you, Peter, for all your help in solving my problem with being able to send a group email from my iPad. I’m amazed at your expertise and willingness to spend time, even on Saturday, to help fix this. I love the configuration if your App. and, having previously used another, find it infinitely superior. I’m looking forward to using it for a long, long time. Certainly, knowing that help is always available is fabulous in itself and your caring and dedication is phenomenal. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ruth Dry North Palm Beach, Florida

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind comments and appreciation. I hope it continues to meet your needs.

### 5/5 — Pro MailShot

*2021-04-02*

Heard of this app just yesterday.  I wanted to be able to send emails and files to my Google Groups from my iPhone.  My larger Groups number up to 200 so involves working with a lot of addresses. I read this inexpensive app should really help and it did.  The support was great. I sent a question email and got the answer within a few hours. I am pleased with Pro MailShot
