In recent years, applications to work with e-mails made small revolution only once - about a year ago, when the application Mailbox It has become a real viral hit, collecting hundreds of thousands of people are queuing for them around the world. Today, Google introduced Inbox - a service that aims to turn the experience of the organization and work with letters.

But as the use of experience, Mailbox - is very successful and is probably one of the few Task Manager, which actually are useful and are retained on a smartphone more than a week. Moreover, for many users around the world it was he who for the past year is the main application to work effectively with the post.
In Google we have built an excellent alternative that is superior to Dropbox company's product in all respects.
This is a service of Google, and this fact is important, in fact it will meet in the near future time members smartphones on Android, but that native applications companies are stable and easy to work, just not worth it challenge. On iOS, the situation is not so obvious, but the Inbox and find exactly where their users.
Main feature Inbox is special intelligent algorithms that organize all the emails from your mailbox, specifying automatically, where you are messages with confirmation of purchases, where the registration letter for the next flight, and where Promotions.
All of the content and the content of your emails become more interactive. If the email address listed - in the Inbox, you will immediately see the card when attached document - you be instant access to it, if within a specified flight number - you will see the status of your flight.
Because of this principle of displaying only a few letters fit on one screen, and in the desktop version from scratch and even more. Such a representation is convenient to address a normal user, for which five or six letters a day - limit. The users also that use email as a basic work tool, yet Inbox is not good at all. For the rest, the application is very, very convenient. It is not full of unnecessary information - displays exactly what you expect to see, what is important at the moment.
program design fully meets the guideline Material Design. minimalistic interface elements, and have a traditional red button in the lower right corner of charge creating a new message or a reminder and display users with whom you have recently corresponded.
mail management capabilities are very similar to those of the Mailbox. After completing a task or read the letter, you simply click the Done button. When your email are sorted by category, you can do the same thing once for all mail. If any letter you will need only a few days, creating a reminder for a certain date, and the message will reappear in your inbox at the appointed time. In Inbox, you can also import your usual keyboard shortcuts that can greatly simplify the work.
Such above-mentioned functionality is already implemented and in the annex MoltoBut the brakes work and problems with synchronization does not make him a worthy competitor. In Inbox shortcomings quite a bit, and they will be visible only to the so-called power user.
The application is available for download now for iOS, as well as for Android, but to use it you can not until you get an invitation, which so far is nowhere. So, if some of your friends do not have Google employees start using Inbox, you will likely be able to take a few weeks. However, you can also leave a request for an invite by sending an email request to [email protected].
Merge email client with the task manager was a good idea, with Google Now - all the more so, Inbox is waiting for exactly a success.
