The app is much better than the angry reviews

I can fully appreciate the fact that many users who paid a one-time price for this app when it was CloudMagic are upset because it changed to a subscription based app with no notice. However, that is not a reason to write a negative review of an app that is actually a great email product. I just downloaded the trial and after spending my entire working life looking for the perfect email app, have finally found something that’s at least close to perfect. I just never tried CloudMagic before it was Newton because they didn’t have a trial and I didn’t want to waste the money if I didn’t care for it.

For minimalists and users who want an absolutely beautiful user interface, Newton is what you need. It’s well designed, but still does almost everything a complex email app achieves. It’s not perfect, but since app features are subjective, it probably never will be. I am a Gmail user so I wish it supported all the Gmail keyboard shortcuts. I also wish there was a larger array of user preferences. The one I miss most is the capability to change the font size. With Newton you’re stuck with the font size you see, unless you increase/decrease it in each message you read, which is cumbersome (and even then you can only change the font size within the message body of each email).

Overall I really like Newton. Yes, $50/year is a lot to pay for an email app, but it sounds better as $4/mo. I spend so much of my day using email, I feel I should be using the app I like the most, regardless of price. In the end, I’m sure I’ll fork over the $50, but for now, I’ll wait until the end of the trial period. I’ll update this review at that time.
