Mailbox app review

Mailbox

Price: Free

Mailbox by Orchestra, Inc. helps you when it comes to keeping your emails organized.

This app currently only works with Gmail accounts, but more platforms will be added later. As well this is a first-come, first-serve opportunity so you will want to download this app to reserve your spot.

The idea behind this app is to make your inbox easier, faster and more mobile-friendly so checking emails on the go is a breeze.

When you're in your inbox you'll be able to swipe messages to the trash bin or to the archive folder, you can scan a full conversation all at one time, tap a button to snooze an email for further reading, and so much more.

Mailbox works by checking your emails from the cloud then they are sent to your phone over a secure network. If you'd like, you can receive push notifications for new messages that come in.

If you have more than one Gmail account, no problem, you can add them all.

Mailbox was updated on Feb. 8, 2013 and features 1,333 customer ratings with an average rating of two and a half out of five stars.

Because this app is not yet ready for use, a personal comment about the app is impossible. I can say the screenshots look very promising though and the idea of being able to manage all your accounts from one location is great. It can certainly help streamline your inbox. I especially liked being able to view a whole back-and-forth email conversation in a chat-like way. It makes it so easy to follow along.

For: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad with iOS 6.0 or later
