Hop: e-mail for the iPhone messenger style that will appeal to many

Not so long ago in the network lit Hop application. This is yet another rethinking eMail, but unlike the Mailbox cmdlet, the developers saw an opportunity to turn Hop email is not in the list of tasks, and in the messenger. Indeed, most of the letters - a correspondence with real people, which is quite similar to the dialogue in social networks and instant messengers. As Mailbox, access to Hop proved to be limited and a place under the sun give users gradually. The other day I received a chain letter - I got access to the Hop. And now I want to share my impressions of the application.

Superficially, Hop is consistent with the application of the modern era. Sleek design, ascetic icons, interface based on gestures.

All letters are divided into two tabs: the classic box directly "incoming", where people come all the letters and the second tab - a correspondence with people. Initially, Hop itself determines with which of your contacts you chat ensued from 2 or more letters and compile a list of contacts. Then, you will be able to add the sender to your contact list. The list is available by clicking the appropriate icon in the upper right corner.

In the tab "classic post" all pretty familiar - to flock to all incoming messages. They can be viewed, read, delete, archive, and procrastinate. All the action takes place by means of swipe. A short swipe left - an archived and marked as read. Swipe "genuine" opens the panel with 3 buttons. First - add the sender to your list of contacts Hop (ie the list of people that you lead an active correspondence), the second - put the letter "for later" and the third - archiving. Delete the message directly to the incoming messages box does not work, that, frankly, uncomfortable. At the bottom there is a button to quickly create letters, and you can immediately create a letter with a photograph taken directly from the app or choose an existing image.

But when you open a specific message, it is already possible to remove. Just pile on the right anywhere on the screen and there will be a letter buttons. You can quickly answer it, remove (hooray!), Copy aside or forward it to another. At the bottom there is a button for quick response to a letter and sending it. On formatting the emails I have no problems.

If the screen with the list of emails, svaypnut right, opens a menu with chats, incoming messages, media files and the latest documents, lists for further reading (set of them can not edit), tips on using the program, settings and etc.

It makes sense to dwell separately on with the dialogue tab. Here, the letter contained only those senders that you've added to your contacts.

History of messages from these contacts is displayed in the form of threads on the type of instant messengers and social networks. Dialog box with each contact, you can configure - choose the background color, and the alert type for incoming emails from this contact. Below - a panel in which you can quickly type text and attach to post a photo, a picture of a Internet (convenient, it is not necessary to run the browser separately, search engine and type a query), picture or voice note. Looks like a messenger, is not it?

This is the main feature Epp. You can choose for themselves the most important contacts that you frequently written off and maintain correspondence with them in the manner of simple conversations in messengers. This is convenient, because not always letters to email large and bulky. Often, we are in an email exchange short remarks and in this calculation Hop creators.

I believe that many Hop really like. If you are driving a lot of active correspondence with people by e-mail and do not want to install a separate app messenger, then you will definitely come in handy Hop. For those who use email for processing incoming messages from a variety of destinations and uses email to conduct active correspondence with people, he Hops unlikely to catch the fancy. Although, if you can drag to email everyone with whom you are communicating in instant messengers and social networks, then why go to the Hop.

Personally, I see email rather as a list of tasks and a "short" business correspondence voluminous letters. But I did not remove the Hop - who knows how to change my ways of communicating with people on the Internet.

Have you already tried the Hop? Do you think such a rethinking of e-mail convenient? Share your impressions in the comments on the application.
