Shortwave finally launches Android app Version 1.0: An enhanced successor to Google Inbox

Shortwave is an interesting app designed as a successor to Inbox by Gmail, has launched its Android version 1.0 on the PlayStore. The new app, which underwent extensive beta testing, is a web app that closely resembles its iOS version, featuring a unique bottom-based navigation system. This feature was initially introduced by Google Inbox in 2014 to revolutionize email management by offering a to-do list-style interface, and now Shortwave has taken these features and enhanced them to improve email prioritization.

The new version of Shortwave introduces a significant change with its redesigned bottom-based interface. This redesign offers shortcuts for account switching, inbox, search, and composing emails. It also provides customizable swipe options, allowing users to perform quick actions such as archiving, deleting, snoozing, and pinning emails without having to open them.

In addition to these features, the app supports multiple Google accounts and offers detailed push notification options, as well as a dark mode. It also allows users to add notes to bundles and includes features such as blocking or allowing new senders, improved search functionality, scheduling, undoing sending, and AI-powered summarization, drafting, and translation. Shortwave offers a free basic version with limited searchable email history, and a premium subscription at $9 per month for unlimited searchable emails and faster support. If you're looking for an excellent alternative not only to Inbox by Gmail but also to other services like Spark Mail, Mailspring, or Mailbird, you should definitely take a look at Shortwave.
