People focused email – Spike - Email & Team Chat Review

I like the updated Hop Email app even more than some of the other big email apps. It's quick, well laid out, and has many great features. With a little tweaking you can customize the look and functionality. Hop's Priority inbox puts email into two categories: 1) from people you know, 2) "other" inbox for every other source (newsletter, ad, notification, etc.). This helps cut through the clutter to quickly see the conversations that are more relevant to you. It also turns each email into a threaded conversation (like iMessage), so you can see the ongoing conversations/history rather than just one email by itself. You can also easily unsubscribe from newsletters. Other good features: The lightweight calendar to view upcoming events, a "People" tab to jump to emails from frequenly contacted people, and a very good search to find specific emails and recently received files. There's also the ability to snooze messages to deal with later (note that the "...More" pop-up also contains options to pin message, move to priority, and mute notifications). The in-app browser lets you quickly jump to links in an email without leaving the app. File attachment support is also very good as you would expect from a power email app. Other small features like quick translate, per sender notifications, read receipts, and ability to move messages to a folder are unique and useful. Overall one of the best email apps on iOS. Wish list: -Could use a way to quickly add a calendar event from a date mentioned in an email. -Print to PDF would be useful.
