Emailing photos from your iPhone is a chore, as you can only attach a single image to each message - go back to the camera roll to add another and you're rudely thrown back to your composition, forcing you to send it before sharing another.

Multi-Photo neatly eradicates this problem.

After a one-time step to specify your outgoing mail server settings, you're presented with a blank wall where your selection will be stored. Rather than pinning each photo as soon as it's selected, your selection is built up and then saved to the wall, and it's here that Multi-Photo's most disruptive flaw may rear its head. An unsaved selection is lost if you take a call or leave the app, which is a strange oversight when recipients and saved photos are preserved between sessions.

To send a message, you simply type in the recipient's email address, select one from your contact list, or use a list of recently used contacts. The subject and message are optional and, if omitted, Multi-Photo falls back on customisable values in its settings. Here you can also tailor image compression or disable it altogether, but you can't manually set exact dimensions.

A warning reminds you not to close Multi-Photo until the message has been sent, since it can't run in the background. Despite this, Multi-Photo performs well in resolving the way the iPhone emails photos.
