Email It Later: Never Forget To Send A Message Again

Has this ever happened to you? An important email HAS to go out first thing in the morning-- and you can't send it tonight (at 4 a.m.) without looking really unprofessional. But somehow, exhaustion takes over; you never hear your alarm clock, and you never manage to get that message out on time. As a result, your house burns down, your spouse loses their job, your kid doesn't get into the school they wanted, and everything is just awful.
Well, maybe it's not always that bad. But, stepping in to help is a nifty new app called Email It Later. It does exactly what it says; it postpones delivery of your message until the time and date you specify. You compose messages inside the app and it stores them until the time is right. Then, like magic, away they go.
For just $.99, this app could get a great deal of use from a lot of people. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to compose their messages at 2 a.m. and know that they'd go out during more normal hours?
There is just one problem: Email It Later appends a "Sent By Email It Later" to each message you send out. So much for being professional. In addition to being awkward and unnecessary, I also have to mention that, grammatically, it's a really strange sentence. Let's hope they get rid of it!
Email it Later is 99 cents, but no amount of money will remove the signature it attaches. Still, it's worth a shot if you find yourself out and about at odd hours. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
