Hey guys, welcome back to another video today's video we're talking about Astro alternatives
I feel really sorry for everyone that has a third-party email app right now
The email space is not doing very well
Hey guys, welcome back to another video I said today's video I wanted to chat with you guys about
Astro I wanted to share a few
alternatives as well
Because as you many of you know slack has now bought
Astro and they are acquiring them and killing them off by the October the 10th
Which is mad very fast email shutdown, and of course this month, we've also will this month we will be saying goodbye
to the likes of Newton - and an announcement in for March 2019
Google inbox is going as well
This is really sad news and obviously definitely sucks for everyone who is committing to a third-party email app
They sort of feel a bit vulnerable guys in today's video. I want to chat about the Astro alternatives that you might find useful
so guys today's video is sponsored by hive I wanted to thank them and
Apologize as well because we were gonna put out a video last week
I hadn't all prepared windows and Android alternatives to Moo and it was going to be beautiful and the majority of the
Focus was on Astro and then of course the news hit so I do apologize for the delay on that video
But a big thank you to hive for sponsoring today's video. Here's a little bit more information about them

I have added a tutorial below which is available through YouTube and you can watch that one there
So thanks again to hive for sponsoring the key productive YouTube channel
So guys Astro
Alternatives there are plenty out there on the market
I want to touch on Android first a little bit of on iOS and a few more alternatives that might find useful for you
So one thing I would say about Astro is it was one of the best Android alternatives? There's not too many on that store that
particularly do well and of course an application that's spanned across iOS
Android a Mac definitely looked more attractive and I can definitely see why slant bought it out
So for those Android design that we do have a few recommendations
For some alternatives the first one and one it is very similar to astro is edison edison
There's an email application that spans across ios and android and it doesn't work very smoothly
It's got great Google Play ratings
and it also combines the
assistant inside of Edison that would allow you to interact with your email in a bit of a smarter fashion now inside of
Edison you do have smart fuck filtering so you can organize all of your emails and it does make for a healthy mobile first
Solution if you guys are looking for both in iOS and Android alternative in case for future now next up is blue mail
Although I don't particularly recommend it as it's not in the most gorgeous design out there
It seems to have worked well and have built a brilliant user base on Android now
It does look very similar to the alternative one, which is type mail
So do be aware just before that you check their name on the actual download blue mail is free
Although it does have a paid edition. I believe which gives you access to a little bit more. Remember guys
I've done a full Newton alternatives video which will apply to ask for alternatives
So you guys can go into a bit detail there. Next up is definitely Microsoft Outlook
it is stunning and especially with the web redesigns in the last couple of weeks and their plans in 2019 to add a
Mac and
A desktop version of Windows it does make it a lot more attractive and the mobile applications work
So well remember this is the company that bought sunrise just to install it inside of Microsoft Outlook
So you're gonna get a beautiful calendar experience when you are using it. Next up is protonmail
I see a lot of people email me particularly good using protonmail
Apparently it is a very intuitive service and the thing that they focus on a lot more is security
They have the best high grade security and are run by a Swiss company
So you pretty much know that the security is gonna be pretty high now moving on to some iOS alternatives
Of course Astra was available on iOS which is very sad to see one of my top recommendations is spark
I'm currently using in this my email application. I will be trialing
Superhuman, which is coming up very soon
It is a $30 per month email application, but I do want to review it and give it a full
exploratory explai
Exploration before I commit to it so do stay tuned for that things like
specifically like about spark as a user is the sin later function the UI works really well and
It tends to work really well on like iOS when you're syncing it, of course, it doesn't have an Android app
But they are working on it
Apparently, of course, I mentioned outlook outlook is fantastic on iOS too very similar to the Android version
But definitely worth checking out. You've also got polynomial on iOS which seems to work very well. Again, this is a paid experience
You're gonna have to really pay for this one
If you if you're looking to unlock all of the team functionality again, it's more of a team function
But once you get into it
You can use some of the templating functions and two email
Campaigns and plan in scheduled emails track emails do all the sort of advanced stuff that you'd expect
with an email client of that magnitude and another iOS solution that there's really
Push faster all the time is M or email is really well-designed
It's a really gorgeous application for Mac and iOS, and it's definitely worth considering the great thing about MLS. It's a one-off fee
So you're not necessarily paying a subscription rate as you go and finally I would say missive as well is a great option
This is something that zoo Kane and I did a video on this too to thank him and also to recommend it too
It's actually pretty decent. It's available on Mac Windows Android and iOS. It looks great. It has a free option
That's very limiting to 15 days of history
But if you're willing to pay for an email application, this might be a great option for you include that video boo
So guys, of course
It's hard to give advice on email apps in a moment because you don't know which ones gonna shut down which one's gonna come out
Obviously what my sort of best advice would be trying to look at the third pint paid
alternatives because obviously that is going to be something that
They're gonna be investing in and developing and you know that the money is gonna be supported there, of course as a secure option
but again
You can't necessarily go by that rule because loon was a paid alternative at $49 90 year
And we've still had issues trying to grow and expand in the market
So guys it feel free to watch default Newton alternative video
There's also an article on the Keep Productive YouTube channel
