Thanks to Newton, I enjoy reading and writing emails.

Pros:

Simple but powerful email client that makes working with emails effective. Available on every major platform. Super fast support.

Cons:

Bit pricey. Missing web version.

Primer
I realise there has been some kerfuffle over the new annual subscription model, and whilst I get that, it's not a dealbreaker for me; We're in a subscription age. I wanted to raise a couple things to the attention of @rohitnadhani. 1) Your app was displaying faulty discounts to me eg it was saying "Get 20% off - Usually £39.99 now £36.98" I'm sure you'll note that that isn't 20%. I contacted your customer service and was told that this was because the developers couldn't make it work in my currency (I'm in the UK). Apparently it works everywhere else in the world, but for some reason basic arithmetic in Scotland is different to the rest of the world. You may want to get that looked at (I have the email chain if you're interested). 2) My second point is that several days later I was offered 50% discount. Again, the sums were wrong but I was willing to buy at that point. However the offer came in around Christmas time and I was busy. I missed my window and the offer passed (it was a 24 hour offer if memory serves). Anyway Christmas is over and I now want to give your company my money. I emailed customer support and asked if I could now take advantage of the 50% offer that I had missed. I was just told pretty blankly that I couldn't. And here's my dilemma. I want to use your app, but I want the best price you offered me, and I won't pay more than that. Is this my fault for missing the window of the offer, maybe. Could your customer service people be better, definitely. I think most people will agree that point two is my tough luck, but I did want to raise point one with you as that just doesn't inspire confidence in your product. Thanks :-)

I'm so gutted and so bummed that Newton is shutting down (https://blog.newtonhq.com/goodby...). I switched from Polymail because its GUI on Mac was buggy. Then with Newton I discovered Snoozing (inc. Snooze to Desktop) which took my email workflow to a new level. Now I rely on Read Receipts, Send Later and Snooze to Desktop as part of my workflow. But now Newton is shutting down and there's no product that I can use for what has become my workflow. Gutted. I would love to know the empirical economics behind the shutdown decision. Charge people more if you have to, but don't shutdown and waste all that time and work! I just don't get it. @RohitNadhani, why are you doing this to us, dude? If Polymail can find a model, you can too! I would pay more than the current annual subscription price, and looking at the comments on your Medium post others would too.

I loved the app and felt it was worth $50 per year. Then, Cloud Magic announced Newton was suddenly shutting down. The app is still available, but my email stopped syncing in August. However, support has disappeared without any updates on the refund they promised, which requested. No way I would recommend this app. Go with Mailspring for Windows and Mac and Edison Mail for iOS and Android.
