Email Sign Up is the app that helps grow your mailing list by letting you collect email addresses and names to a file on your SD Card. The CSV file can be uploaded to an email service provider at a later time. The vCard file can be imported directly into the Android contacts app on the device.
Example:
Imagine you are a beekeeper that is part of a club. Your club has a booth at the county fair. You can display a beautiful photograph at your table using your Android device. Interested people can enter their name and email address and be added to the club's mailing list.
Details:
Email sign up will store names and email addresses to a text file on the SD Card. The "EmailSignUp" directory will be created. Then a CSV file will be created with a name corresponding to the current date. Names and addresses will be added to the CSV file as they are entered. The email address is the only required field. The email address is checked against a basic validation to make sure it is in a reasonable format.
At your convenience the CSV file can be transferred off of the device. Many email clients and service providers such as Aweber and Gmail can import the CSV file.
The names and email addresses can also be written to a vCard formatted file. This vCard file can then be imported into the contacts on the Android device. Writing the vCard file can be disabled from the preferences screen.
The title text that appears at the top of the email collection screen can be changed from the preferences screen.
