Great App on its own, but with the Chrome App and Gmail, it's amazing

Great little email app. Combine it with their Handle chrome app and gmail and this becomes an amazing power tool for task management. It's amazing how you can convert emails into tasks and then revert back to the original email. The chrome companion is also one of the best gmail task managers around and integrates so beautifully with gmail. This seems to be a truly hidden gem (so far, I only discovered them 2 days ago). Also like how I am able to use this with multiple email accounts, which is also rare for apps of its kind. Only works with Gmail.
Not email, Not Calendar, Not a List. This is something new and awesome.

I've been following Handle since close to when it launched. My first emails to the developers were very critical. No email search, no features in the calendar, etc. I missed the point. The point, which the Handle got and I didn't, is that today we have to dos coming at us from every direction. Handling that takes ninja-fast collection from various sources, gymnastic level flexibility in triage as things change, and laser focus on what gets done next. Handle seems to be built to capture efficiently from email, siri, or quick entry, then allows you to organize effectively even as things change, and focus on your calendar integrated with to-dos for execution. The feature set is on point, and things are well implemented. I love the flow between email, to dos, and calendar. No one else is doing this, it's ambitious and smart. With a pretty radical approach, there are bound to be things to improve, and there are. But Handle is already very useful and well on its way to nailing it. I highly recommend to give it a real go. It will not replace a fully featured email (e.g. no search) or calendar (e.g. no drag & drop interface), that's not what it's for. It does provide the most complete connected environment for the collection, triage, and execution of your tasks. I am not (yet) a paying user, and that will change now (UPDATE: Paying user :). I read the founder's note in the app. Super impressed with his commitment to realize this ambitious project. He's both done an incredible job so far and has an amazing attitude. Kudos to you sir, you are doing all of us a service.
Stellar!! Extremely useful, totally unique, and maintained!

The pro-developed app is set up to be speed and action efficient. Intuitive. Powerful, BUT simple to use and navigate. Separate interfaces for tasks, calendar, and e-mail accounts. Populating read later, action items, and events before I open an e-mail is great! Other apps do that...What makes Handle unique is that it provides a separate complete work interface outside of the e-mail one, plus the FULL e-mail is in the body of each task, reminder, or item, created from an e-mail. Apple Watch app - yes! There is a browser extension to work with Gmail for desktops as well. And there's much more, get the app! What do I mean? 1). Handle provides a user-friendly organizational interface of tasks, projects, reminders, etc, populated with what you created from e-mail. It's a complete work environment. That's what opens with the app.** 2). The tasks, etc, contain THE actual e-mail. Not links back into any e-mail interface or app. Not icons on each in a list of email previews and in an e-mail GUI. Efficient!!! **No distractions, like getting sidelined waiting or seeing unread e-mail as soon as the app opens. *Focus!!! There's no need at all to leave from work GUI of the action items, the tasks, reminders, etc, back into e-mail. Again, no distractions and time wasted in the inbox while waiting, watching it fill up again.
Support other email providers

Again, Seriously, stop with the frilly features that no one cares about and do some real work. Tell your leadership team to tell your pms to at least support iCloud. If your not going to build something real then don't build anything at all.
Good potential

I love the concept. But where is the search option??? That is absolutely crucial for an email app. If it's on the app it's not user friendly to find. Some good ideas from other email apps that I wish could be implemented: Have an unsubscribe button option at the top of every email like the "Email" app has. Have an email chunking option that groups all your emails by sender so you can delete/unsubscribe from junk mail efficiently like the "Chuck" email app has. Otherwise, great work! I'd be happy to adjust my rating once a search option is added.
ANNOYING TO USE...

I started off with only THREE tasks (didn't want to "overwhelm" the app) -- btw, I HATE apps that set up "default" actions (because they're NEVER what MY defaults would be) -- moved 2 (of 3) to today -- so NO TIME SETTING for those 2 (couldn't find how to set up a time for "today's to-dos" -- btw, that almost rhymes) :) -- the 3rd task I left on tomorrow, but couldn't find out how to change the time from the default 9 am -- if it's this annoying with only 3 tasks/to-dos, I'm not interested -- in my book, a large FAIL!!! The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of only 1 -- I didn't feel like I knew the app well enough to only give it 1 star.
Very useful

I love how you email, calender, and todos are all in the same spot. For a free app you can't get anything better.
Most of what I was looking for but buggy
Cardinals in 2013!
This app has everything (email, tasks, calendar) in one place. It also incorporates aspects of GTD and time tracking. Tasks can be assigned to projects. In other words: lots of potential. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of bugs to work out. I'm running his on an iPhone 6s+, but the app is sluggish to respond. And projects are not as helpful as they appear on first sight: I created a project, made a due date for it, added tasks, and completed those tasks. But there's no way to actually mark the project complete. You can delete the project, but then you delete all the tasks associated with it, and because there is no way to archive the project, if you delete it, you lose any tracking or template you might have liked to use. The only work around I see is to delete the due date for the project so it doesn't show up as overdue, but then it still hangs out on your list of active projects.
