Email Client - Boomerang Mail

I really want to love this app. I am an avid user of Boomerang on Outlook for Mac and i really want to be able to use it on my phone. This is the second chance I’m giving it but i still can’t transition from the native mail app because of the way the emails in threads are organized. It drives me insane. If I have more than one email in a thread I can’t find the right one to reply to, forward, or boomerang and it drives me nuts. Everything shows up at once in a long confusing list. I need clear navigation between particular emails and I have tried to adjust the mailbox settings but there are none. I like everything else about this app but this major issue is a deal breaker for me. I really hope it is fixed somehow.

This is great but I struggle with sorting emails into my (very large) folder/label structure. The native apple mail client makes a single suggestion based on past patterns when moving messages. If Boomerang learned over time patterns of mail sorting and made three suggestions at the top of the list, it would probably be my primary client for sorting emails each morning. For now it takes me a lot of effort to scroll through all my labels to find the right folder every single time I move an email. Great work on everything else. I would recommend this to anyone asking me about email apps.

I’ve been looking for something to replace Inbox which has slowed development. At the bare minimum I want an email app that lets me do work while off line — in the subway, on an airplane. Boomerang’s key feature set fails at this. Even non-key features like send an email, require being connected instead or waiting to send later. This makes the app non-functional for my workflow and maximizing my travel time. Slightly less annoying, there’s no way to fine tune alerts. So instead of having alerts from folks I regularly interact with, I get every promotional email, every listserv. The app is really nicely designed and interaction experience is well thought out. The desktop plugin for the Mac is great and had me hopeful for the app. But the app’s failure to act like every other email program for offline work, means I’ll be deleting this app and choosing another GTD solution.

I’ve been searching and searching for an email app that helps me with my Gmail. I feel like I’ve tried them all! Just when I feel like I’m getting the hang of the app, I receive a notice the app will no longer be available for one reason or another. Regardless, nothing was ever perfect and I wanted something to simplify the dreadful Gmail app. Tonight I discovered “Brief Me” and that moved me to write this review. That was the cherry on top! Boomerang has the simplest interface and its easy swiping are the BEST! Thank you for FINALLY building an email app to help us tackle our endless emails and reminding us what’s important in life!

This app works well for me. I like to keep it separate from my regular mail app as I have different emails for different purposes. It allows me to use the boomerang add on for gmail while the regular mail app does not. I can find though that the app can get a bit glitchy at times. There have been a handful of times where I’ll start a draft of an email and come back to it later and it didn’t save or just a few times where I sent an email but it didn’t send. These things haven’t occurred often, however. They have been rare occurrences enough that I still trust the app enough to use it and rely on it.
