Very Promising Email Client

I have been using the app for a little bit now and I have to say that it has been a good experience so far. Simplistic, conversational design which works because emails can be a mess. I will like to see the service able to connect to other email clients outside of Gmail which I would imagine is going to come. Also if there is a way to have a section that offers a team style message place where you can invite someone you been emailing with to a secondary workspace to share files and conversation within the app. I think that would be cool and with the app’s clean look it would work well. This is almost already there with the notes feature. Wishful thinking

I think the devs on this are off to a great start. There are a lot of email clients that are out there that don’t deliver on making email simple and easy in terms of use. Looking forward to see upcoming features and how the app grows.

Also please keep the app add free. Even if there is a one-time payment which is always the best or even subscription model so that the devs are funded and supported and we don’t get ads.

Functional and beautifully simple

This app looks great, and is a great break from the stock gmail, that I don’t like very much. I love how easy it is to use as well. There are lots of things that are beautiful in their simplicity, just like in Notability. That said, I do have a few problems with it. During the 30 minutes or so I spent poking around, I had a crash when using the Unsubscribe feature. There was also no support for the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard Command keys, even though there were prompts in the settings that said they would work. It must have been just referring to Macs. Since a lot of people are going to migrate to this app because of Notability, I think it’s important to cater a little more to people using iPads. I think that a cool idea that would work great for me is having support for copying over a to-do list or schedule that I wrote in Notability, and converting it into text, then using that to make a reminder for those times, because I love physically writing up my schedule, but there’s no way to add a reminder through Notability. This would help me a lot and would be a great way to create a way for these apps to work together which would be so cool. Overall though, this is a great app that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a new email app.

Developer Response ,

Does it crash every time you attempt to use the Unsubscribe feature? If so, can you email us at support@twobird.com with some more details on what actions you're taking when the crash occurs? We can investigate further.

Support for iPad keyboard shortcuts is on our list of ideas for the future. We'll make a note of your iPad/Notability related feature requests as well! Thank you for using Twobird.

Great start. Maybe a few updates will help

Easy to add Gmail accounts. Labels all show up and are accessible. I like the differentiation between high and low priority emails. As others have said, it will be helpful when non-gmail accounts can be added. A couple of suggestions or questions. I do not see a way to delete all trash. Instead, so far I have had to delete each item separately - waste of time. Also, I did not find Gmail’s option to delay sending an email until a future time and date. I use this feature frequently and its lack is a problem. Maybe I just haven't found it yet. Finally, additional swipe options would be helpful. Most apps allow for several to be used. I only saw the option to use one, and that one was limited. In all though, very good beginning.
