UIActivity is a great way to promote sharing app content, and here’s a library from Wayne Hartman that allows you to easily customize those shared messages for each platform. You can easily create e-mails with attachments and custom message text, and send a different message using the other sharing platforms.
As the readme states:
UIActivity is an awesome API for sharing content with built-in iOS services. It’s really easy to share via email and text message with the built-in activities, but for one really fatal flaw: Apple’s API doesn’t allow for customizing content specific to the built-in activities. Take MFMailComposeViewController: incredibly useful, except that there’s no API for setting the subject and adding attachments. Lame. Another example: The text you put on there for a Tweet might be different from the text you put into a text message. But there’s no API to be able to specify special text for the text message. Lame.
Here’s a couple of snapshots from the included showing the example application in action with a customized mail message:
