This Swiss Army knife of apps provides an extensive list of features to enhance your efficiency on a daily basis.

New features in v2.0:
- Power Tools is now free to try with In App Purchase for $2.99 USD

- Email Spam Filter and Ringtone - Be spam free and get ringtone when email arrives at your inbox. Supports GMail, Yahoo, Outlook/Hotmail and IMAP servers. Note: Power Tools pools the server for new messages and spam filtering. You can set the interval to check for new messages
