TouchDown for iOS: A feature-rich Exchange applicant for iPhone and iPad

Not continued ago there were few options for accessing a Microsoft Exchange server from an iPhone or iPad. While the iOS Mail, Contacts and Agenda apps accept the adeptness to affix to Exchange (via ActiveSync), abounding appearance aren't accessible in the first-party Apple apps. Things were so bad for a while that I had to backpack an Android buzz in accession to my iPhone so that I could run Touchdown for Android to analysis people's availability for affairs and assets affair apartment in Exchange.

If you reside and die by the Exchange server at the office, you should analysis out TouchDown for iOS ($19.99, App Store) from NitroDesk.

Another additional is that your claimed mail, contacts, and calendars in the Apple apps aren't backed up to the accumulated Exchange server (depending on your configuration).

Using Apple's Mail, Contacts, and Agenda apps you can't abstracted abbey and state.

• Adeptness to disable/enable GAL search

TouchDown aswell has a amount of abundant aegis features:
