Thanks .. would love to know what the community thinks, thanks for everyone's support.
I think it's a great start! Plus I love Android first (and I guess you cannot do the same thing on iOS just yet anyway). Time will tell if I prefer Snowball over the native notifications, but I'm giving it a shot. What I like is that I often forget about convos I had in one app I don't personally use that much, and then forget to get back to people. Having one unified inbox like with Snowball solves this - it's works kind of like a todo-list for all messages that are not emails. Would like to see Telegram support btw :)
congrats on the launch! What motivated you guys to build this? What other messengers are on your integration list? Finally, when can I use on iOS?

Thanks - decided to build it because 50% of the icons on my home screen are messaging apps and it was painful to keep switching across them. iOS at some point but right now we're giving mad love to Android first!

My buddy Anish just launched Snowball this morning. Excited there's a way to finally have all social msgs in one app
I'm always interested to hear how founders came up with the idea in the very beginning. Spill it, ! :)
see above ;)
I like the idea of bringing all under one hood! Pretty interesting too see an Android-first approach, would be cool if you could share some insights about the adoption once the iOS version is released as-well.
Congrats on the launch guys! Well done.
Finally an app that gets released on Android first! I installed it just for that. Some quick feedback, I think the onboarding experience was a little too slow/long for my tastes; it was also prolonged by having to actually interact with the demo since it wasn't clear at first that any input was needed. I love that Snowball uses SMS though, as I found the native Android SMS app to be really slow.

thanks - we're hearing that a bunch and we're def going to make the OOB sign up flow faster. re: SMS, yeah the native one is painful .. I use HelloSMS which is fantastic. Would love to hear any other feedback as you think of it! Thanks.
Agreed, the OOB was frikken painful, just let me use the app!!
"Not available in your country." = Bummer.

Working on making it available in more, I'd be happy to add you to our beta users group if you're interested? Shoot me an email: anish [at] squanda

- you got it - we're excited about the Android-first approach and we'll share interesting data as we see it ..
+1 awesome point for android first. For iOS I wonder if you could hack it by making your app a bluetooth visible app that supports notification center api. downside is that you'd have to then pair something but maybe a way to get around that with some wizardry!
