ChatInbox: Chat-Style Email 4+

Great start but needs more power user features

This is the type of app I have been looking for for a long time. An app to arrange my emails by sender, similar to text messages. It helps me bulk filter importance based on where emails are coming from. My only complaint right now is lack of support for easier bulk actions/swipe features/keyboard shortcuts. I want to be able to swipe to delete messages or sender folders. Also be able to use things like Cmd-A to set all messages from a sender. My main use of this app is to easily bulk delete and unsubscribe from senders I don’t care about, so I am really glad an app like this exists, I just want more ease of use features :)

Nice!

My wife and I had been using Unibox for years, but since last big Apple Update it is broken and it does not look like developers will be updated it anymore. My wife found this one to replace Unibox since we like chat style and she mentioned it to me, I was skeptical because it was so new and only had two written reviews. I tried it anyways and to my surprise I like it very much. It is nice to have the chat contact feature back! I decided to get in on their limited low price deal - Premium Lifetime. I recommend it for those coming from Unibox and it has better features than Unibox. I also recommend it for anyone who likes the personal chat style like Messages, by the way you can easily tap/click on icon and it will switch to old style email layout if that is what you prefer and then just as easily switch back. I am using both of their Apps for iPhone and Mac. It is simple to use and appealing to the eyes on both.

Got potential

I love how the app separates the subject lines yet keeps things grouped by the sender of the email. It makes it much easier to follow threads. I deal with a lot of group emails in my business and community HOA. However I can’t figure out how to attach an image from my iPhone library. It just connects to my files. Also I love the idea of groups, however I don’t see the point as I can’t attach the email addresses in the group to an email. It would be great to click on the group and start an email with all the addresses in the group.
I’d pay for the premium if these fixes were made. Especially attaching an image, not being able to do that is a deal breaker for me.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions, which have helped us better understand our users' needs and improve our product. We've taken your ideas—direct messaging to groups and support for photo attachments—seriously. Both features have been implemented in version 1.4.1, which we've submitted to the App Store for review. It should be available for update within 1-2 days. Should you have any more observations or areas you believe could be improved, please don't hesitate to share. Thanks again!
