I switched to Astro this fall for all of my email and love it. I was initially surprised by how much I liked the chatbot, and with this update, it’s won me over even more. Also really excited about the addition of Calendar. Makes it a lot easier than switching between apps to figure out what’s going on in my day. Congrats to the team on the huge update!

No iCloud support. No IMAP support. Not a real full email client. Yet. By the way, the "not yet supported" ambiguity has been said since the beginning of Astro. I'd be happier if they were not unclear anymore and simply said "we won't support it". Then users like myself wouldn't waste time expecting it..

I really like this as it makes me think that I am actually getting through emails and I am actively finding ways to reduce the bulk of things I don't look at anymore.

Pros:

Multiple accounts, calendar addition is great, actionable unsubscribes, VIP contacts and a whole heap more.

Cons:

none as yet

I have been back and forth with Astro so much over the past few months... falling in love with it, then deleting the app when it didn’t have what I wanted to trying other apps only to come back to Astro! It is a staple and it’s the best one out there that works for me and trust me I have literally tried them all. I am so excited about the update! For some reason it’s not showing a notification for an update in my App Store app yet but as soon as it does I’m going to update my App Store review!

woah....i'm 100% impressed with astro. being cross-platform (including android AND iOS) this early on in the game is what attracted me to try it out. i finally had settled on Spark until i found astro a few weeks ago. it does everything i loved about Spark, but then adds this AI bot that i didn't know i needed. it's actually super useful. On top of all this, the design is top-notch!

Quite possibly the smoothest email experience 😃
