Manage your lists: Monitor the growth of your list, find subscribers near your current location, filter by group, find out who’s most engaged, and more. Subscribers don’t always request to be added to your list when they’re sitting in front of their computers—sometimes they ask you in real life! With the mobile app, you can add those email addresses to a MailChimp list directly from your iPhone. You can also edit subscriber profiles and add notes on the spot.

• Send campaigns: View all your campaigns in one place, and schedule or send a campaign when it’s ready. Start a campaign back at the office, and quickly send it from your iPhone when it’s ready to go out. You’ll even see the same checklist you see in the web app, so you can make sure your campaigns are perfect before sending.

• View reports: You don’t have to be at your desk to check in on your campaigns and see how they’re performing. MailChimp Mobile gives you instant access to all your campaign stats, including revenue reports. Find out where in the world your emails are being opened, who’s tweeting about your newsletter, and how much money your campaigns are generating.

• Share accounts: Your whole team can use MailChimp for iPhone without getting any wires crossed. If you’ve set up multi-user accounts, you can add any account with any permission level to MailChimp’s mobile app.
