Installed it. Initially thought that it had potential. Then I found that unless you pay 9$ a month, your search results only display messages from the last 90 days. Absolute deal breaker.
I tried it then uninstalled when I realized it was just a wrapper.
I just don’t use email enough anymore, except for work which is all Outlook.
Any FOSS alternatives to Inbox/Shockwave?
Yeah, that would be great. I haven’t found anything like it sadly.
There’s a KDE itinerary plugin for Thunderbird but that’s about it, all the rest of the features are missing.
Imagine paying monthly for an email app …
If you’re going to pay, you might as well pay for something like ProtonMail and get an actual product.
Why did Google kill inbox? Was it somehow not profitable? Couldn’t cram enough ads into it?
Same reason why Google Now was killed. It was too useful for users. You open the app, you get the info you want. In fact, you don’t even need to open the app. That’s the problem, they had no place to insert the ads and make money.
That makes a terrifying amount of sense and I never looked at this issue from the angle you presented. God damn it, fucking capitalism.
Cannot recall what was Google Now. I remember Google+.
Why did google kill [product]?
Insert anything from the ever-growing google graveyard.
I assume it had too small popularity comparing to Gmail, introduced confusion - two mail services, required resources and extra communication between teams. So, some one decide to optimize.
If I recall correctly, inbox was kind of test/beta product.
This app feels so sluggish in my Samsung S21 Ultra. I do not know what is the issue.
I mainly use Aqua Mail Pro.
That is because the android app is a wrapper around web app, rather than being fully native app.
I really don’t understand companies that do this. They have millions of dollars at their disposal. Build a real app lol
Actually pretty much all companies do this in some form or another. Even Gmail and lots of other Google apps use web instead of native for some parts. They just do it well. When a company does it poorly it really shows.

I ended up switching most of my email usage to Hey and that’s been okay enough. I really miss inbox though.
I am settled with Spark, I need my email app to be multi platform and inbox zero.
Interesting. I remember trying Inbox years ago.
Looks like this is only compatible with gmail. Anyone know otherwise?
I’m surprised it wasn’t on Android already. Been using it for a year or so now, and I love it.
I’m guessing you are referencing the article mention “Inbox”. Because I promise you, I was a huge fan and was bummed when they killed it.
Is there a way to view multiple email accounts simultaneously? I love everything about this product, but I can’t find a way to do this and it’s killing me.
A bit too late for that now. Once they killed Inbox I just migrated everything to ProtonMail. Don’t even use my Gmail address anymore.
Proton have great apps!
