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. You can find a full guide, support information and tips at http://solubleapps.com/Mailshot-support.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MarkNote at none against MailShot Pro's 1. MarkNote also leads on price ($1.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). MailShot Pro's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 5). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
