Makes email more manageableIf you’re like me your inbox is overwhelming. I open it, and want to close it right back up again. Right now the little red dot on my old mail app reads 322. This app helps me quickly get to the messages that matter most. I just wish I could connect it to my work Outlook account. But that’s a me-problem, not an issue for the app. Great work! But I do wonder, how are the developer monetizing the app? Selling out email data for ads? Feeding it into an LLM?.Version: 3.2.0

This is the email client I needed.I am an inbox-zero person. It’s the only organizational method that has ever stuck for me throughout my life. Having a To-Do that lets me snooze so intuitively AND puts my email in the same place…?! *chefs kiss* It is NOT for everyone. If you are not an inbox-zero person it will still be a great client, but might not blow your mind as much as mine. (No, I didn’t get anything for free for writing this. But ……..if they now *want* to throw me a test drive of premium features for free I would happily accept 🙂) Either way, I’ve tried MANY and this is my favorite email client. Thanks, Twobird!.Version: 3.2.0

Visually pleasing and accessibleI LOVE it. Significant visual impairment makes many apps that I need for work + productivity hard to use. This app is easy to look at (design) and visually comfortable with Dark Mode. In fact I just cleaned out my inbox and responded to several overdue messages. Thank you so much!!.Version: 3.0.0

Seems good, keep working on it!I am an avid user of this developer’s other app, notability, and I love the approach they have taken and the unorthodox look of the inbox. Just a few things I would like to be changed: I hope there can be more customization options for how the inbox is structured, and more control over simple functions such as swipes (maybe a left swipe as well as a right swipe, have the same swipe function for notes and emails), and there seems to be a bug with the calendar as well, where part of the mini calendar that shows the days of the month is partly off screen, and even if I rotate my device it still is partly off screen. Hopefully you can fix these things!.Version: 2.1.0

PLEASE DON’T SELL OUT TO SLACK!!This app is everything I could ask for from really any app in general, super powerful yet easy to use. That being said, this is the third email app I’ve written this for because the rest have been bought up by slack, and all I ask is that you don’t sell out and keep adding features. Hell, I’ll pay for a subscription if that’s what it takes. But please don’t sell out, I really don’t ever want to lay eyes on the stock Gmail client again if I don’t have to..Version: 0.1.3

Incredibly Powerful Email AppI downloaded this app looking for an alternative to Shift and I found it. The issue I was having was needing real time access to all of my Google Workspace accounts. I have found no app better than Two Bird for this use case. The interface is minimalistic, clean, but powerful and functional. I just hope this app is truly supported by Ginger Labs which it doesn’t appear to be if I’m being honest. This also has me looking for an alternate multi device solution because I’m just getting the feeling that this app will not be supported over the long term. Got burned by Newton too many times I’m seeing the signs. The app does have bugs but nothing worth complaining about here. But while I have the Two Bird app and for how it functions now I will gladly rate it a five star! The only app that I wish I could pay for to know the team is incentivized to keep it running. PGP key ring integration would be dopey has well :).Version: 3.1.3

There’s a lot to likeThere is LOT to like here. The pixel tracker blocking, and privacy focus is amazing. The seamless way the app knows what’s important and what isn’t is great. But once you start using the app deeply you do start to notice some rough edges. I get weird “ghost” draft messages that show up, sometimes days after a message was sent. If you rely heavily on sorting your mail to labels/folders this app is NOT oriented for that, but rather for simple archiving of messages. I’m going to give it a chance and see if the rough edges are improved. I am an email power user, and while the rough edges can get frustrating, the way the app silences unimportant notifications is way more valuable to me. The app just got a big update, so hopefully more improvements are on the way..Version: 2.0.1

Great - but a few bugsI really like the simplistic approach and philosophy of Twobird. I use it on Mac, iPad and iphone. I moved from spark. I am happy. But I do have some annoyances: When composing it can be too easy to select wrong recipient, Dynamic search is not great. When searching in general it can be limited. Sometimes I have an issue when composing that multiple drafts are created. I put up with these though in return for a simpler email experience. My long term plan is to eliminate the volume of email coming in!.Version: 3.1.3

The ONLY Productivity App You Need!This is the first App Review I’ve left since 2014. I’m obsessive about organization and efficiency on my devices. I constantly read reviews of the top iOS email apps and task managers, always looking for the simplest, yet most robust solution available. Microsoft’s Outlook was almost perfect for me, except it missed such a simple yet powerful feature, allowing email aliases. Oh well. Then enters TwoBird…. TwoBird was actually something I stumbled upon by chance, it looked compelling for my use case—and I haven’t looked back since! It has a gorgeous minimal design, no clutter. Very contemporary design aesthetic. And it appears to finally be the company that has understood my pains with fully integrating email, calendar, and tasks/notes. Everything is streamlined beautifully! If I could make one suggestion: Create a setting where users can change the view of their inbox. More specifically, allow the inbox to be sorted by 1) People mode, where it’s sorted by contact, one line per contact, or 2) Subject mode, where the inbox is sorted by subject line, and 3) Inbox mode, which would be traditional sorting. Either way—this is a STELLAR app! Keep up the great work you’re doing! I can’t wait to see what rolls out next!.Version: 2.1.4

An interesting directionThere’s a lot I love about Twobird. How they approach unsubscribing and auto archiving is amazing. Threaded conversations with text like replies is really nice. 4-stars because it still feels early. They have all the differentiating features I’ve craved or not even thought about, but some of the basics and more native iOS features are missing. But I’m very hopeful, and if it’s anywhere as good as Notability (with the added visual polish they have here), it will be really amazing. My top feature wishlist: - iOS widgets - Configurable notification quick actions - Keyboard shortcuts on iPad - A way to share or integrate with my existing to-do apps.Version: 1.1.0

A revival and revamp of Google InboxFans of the late Google Inbox will be pleased to use Twobirds. The simplistic and artistic design is callback, as also is the bundling feature packed in here. It is feature rich and intuitive. And while it is similar to Google Inbox, I hardly think it is defined by or a copycat; it just happens to be a good approach to email. It is original enough. That said, it’s still pretty new and the bundles are both spot on and...lacking, lol. For example, Twobirds quickly sorted my low priority emails right away - brilliant, and quite discerning. Then, it made two email chains for a conversation that it couldn’t tell was actually one and the same. I’m sure the developers will be working out these finer details as time ushers things on..Version: 1.0.0

Very very goodMuch better than Apple Mail. Most things are better; the look, the feel, the push is light years better, in that it actually works, threads are less confusing. Probably means it won't be free soon 😂.Version: 3.2.0

Promising startI installed this app because I am a huge fan of Ginger Labs Notability app. I like how the app filters my email into an active inbox and a separate low priority. I haven’t used the not taking features yet. Some suggestions: Long emails open in the middle of the email instead of the top. This needs to be fixed. Pinch to zoom doesn’t work when viewing emails. Hopefully the app will link to Notability in the future..Version: 0.1.1

Beautiful appReally love the look, dark mode is beautiful , both modes are actually, and the practicality of it. One of my favourite email apps out there. Question, Can you, or how can you, delete multiple emails, such as spam at once. ? Is it possible and if not this is a request for that functionality. Great app, keep up the great work, James.Version: 3.0.0

Hey!In case you haven’t understood, this app is basically trying to deliver a HEY Email-type experience for your *existing* email account instead of getting a whole new address. Really impressive app - I hope it succeeds and am going all in. It does miss a few things, which I hope they develop over time, starting with the ability to set a default ‘send’ address, better support for signatures etc, but hopefully then moving on to deal with more advanced issues such as a way of setting emails aside to deal with later on without snoozing them to a specific time. Good luck!.Version: 3.0.3

This may just be the email client I've been looking for.I've downloaded every email client available on the app store. Spike was close but was too expensive for me. TwoBird is simple and intuitive. Built-in notes work great and are in realtime. I've made a decent amount of feature suggestions and I'm excited to see what's released next. If they continue this path, I've found my email client. I'm curious about the monetization model, but I'm willing to pay if the price is right..Version: 1.1.4

Best email app in a decadeRemember Mailbox, that one that convinced me to archive my whole inbox and start from inbox zero? I sure do. It was scary, but I clicked that button to mark as read and archive thousands of new emails in my Gmail inbox. And minutes later when it had finished processing that gargantuan purgation, I breathed a sigh of relief like I’d been told that the tumor was not at all benign, but it had disappeared completely. Twobird feels kinda like that, but even better. Now that I’ve been dutifully fighting off the regrowth of that tumor for several years, along comes Twobird chirping and cawing (not tweeting) about how we can just toss almost all those pesky relentless emails that I can’t quite unsubscribe from but rarely want to notice, we can just toss them into the Low Priority pile. Then I can glance over that list of metastatic quasi-garbage every week or two and archive the lot. Bingo-bango, batch archive. Inbox zero just got that much easier..Version: 3.2.0

Great App, but..I don’t understand why when you reply to an email it doesn’t include the content of the original email. It just creates a blank email. If it wasn’t for that I think I would use it as my main email app.Version: 3.2.0

Pretty good so farI was looking for an alternative to the stock email app and I think I found it in Twobird. There are a few additions I would like to see added. I would like it to be able to utilize Push email so I know if there’s an important email without having to open the app to get emails. Also if notifications can be utilized as well. All in all, a great email app..Version: 0.1.17

Nice and SimpleSo far I’ve really enjoyed this app. There are some really great/easy features. Love the UI, pinned section, reminders, and super intuitive note creation. My main issues are 1) No account level notification preferences. 2) No scheduled send of emails 3) The unsubscribe functionality appears to be totally non-functional right now. Even with those few small annoyances I really like the current features and potential. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.1

Great looking and very fast email clientI’ve gotta say i’m impressed, the design of the app is amazing, granted i’m not a fan of the low priority mail option as i prefer a standard inbox with all my mail in one place and not sorted but i love that there’s an option to have it that way, great job.Version: 2.1.1

NiceI like the features. It integrates really well with gmail (signatures, contacts, calendar, labels, etc). Smart ideas with respect to notes and to-dos. Looking forward to using it a bit more!.Version: 3.2.0

Could it be… the One?This approach to email and tasks is refreshing - something hard to do in such a cluttered field of email apps. I’d give this one a try - currently just turned off notifications from Outlook and Airmail for this. (Yes I’ve tried Spark and Newton and even experienced the robbery of Superhuman) 5/5: Will check email again. Awesome job guys, rooting for this one..Version: 2.0.3

I really like it’s approach to emailIt feels way easier for me to look through and reply to all my important messages. As well having the best smart inbox!.Version: 3.0.0

A Must HaveThe low priority feature is a game changer and keeps my inbox nice and tidy. The notes feature is intuitive and designed nicely to easily share with others, making collaboration on notes a breeze. TwoBird truly integrates my to-do lists and inbox so it is in one place and organized..Version: 2.0.1

Brilliant but could do with an extra featureI love the simplicity of replying to emails like it’s a messaging platform, and the unsubscribe filter is great, but syncing with notability would be really useful, so that I can share notes via twobird emails with people, without having to go into notability. Other than that, it’s perfect!.Version: 1.1.3

Inbox ZeroGot to inbox zero in less than 5 minutes in the app. And it does it in a smart way that is not just “select all, archive”. I think this is exactly what I need right now..Version: 1.0.1

Two Birds makes email fun againDelightful user experience makes me actually WANT to clear my inbox. I can’t wait to see where this goes in the future..Version: 1.0.2

Loving this!Hey team, Really loving this so far! Would love to see the addition of (and I’m sure there’s plenty coming) flagging emails, archive/trash from within the email, emptying the trash, and disabling the recent feature? I’m super particular with my inbox, so may just be me wanting these! Super beautiful and clean app regardless. I’m excited to see what you guys bring out next. Cheers, Kaylee.Version: 1.0.2

So far so goodSo far, I’m liking this app for managing a ridiculous number of emails that pop up everyday for work. The one bug that is going to force me to look elsewhere is this: it is nearly impossible to insert the cursor where you want it when writing an email. If you scroll up and see an error, then try to go that error, the app will keep sending you back to the end of the email. It is maddening. I also think the reply box needs to be bigger. If you write long responses, you can get lost. You can only see a few lines of writing at a time. This app, on the positive side, has a beautifully clear interface. It also has had no problem linking up to my outlook account. I think more setting options should be forthcoming, but I get that this app is still in its infancy. For now, I plan on using it and sticking with the developers to see where they take it. I recommend it with the one caveat I mentioned above. It’s isn’t a dealbreaker, unless you write emails constantly like I do and just don’t have the patience to keep chasing the cursor around the screen. For Everyday emailing it’s pretty much perfect..Version: 1.2.0

Interesting appI am just starting with it. It is interesting concept, has great potential. Notability is my favourite note taking app and Spark is my favourite email app. Twobird seems to be combination of both, plus more. 4 stars so far only because it is still in beta, will update my review when other email accounts are support and when I master it. Thanks GingerLabs for trying something new. Can’t wait for future updates..Version: 0.1.6

Good execution of a great conceptI’m a huge fan of the workflow of Twobird. I like the separation of priority and low-priority emails and the conversational nature of the editor. I do have concerns about privacy and the security of my Gmail account, and of course I’m curious about the monetization of the app. I’d prefer to pay for this and have a more honest relationship. Thus far I’m really enjoying the app and looking forward to seeing it develop..Version: 1.0.2

Great start. Maybe a few updates will helpEasy to add Gmail accounts. Labels all show up and are accessible. I like the differentiation between high and low priority emails. As others have said, it will be helpful when non-gmail accounts can be added. A couple of suggestions or questions. I do not see a way to delete all trash. Instead, so far I have had to delete each item separately - waste of time. Also, I did not find Gmail’s option to delay sending an email until a future time and date. I use this feature frequently and its lack is a problem. Maybe I just haven't found it yet. Finally, additional swipe options would be helpful. Most apps allow for several to be used. I only saw the option to use one, and that one was limited. In all though, very good beginning..Version: 1.0.7

Perfect and simple way to keep a clean inboxI’m so happy I found this app. It has the perfect balance of features and simplicity. I love the notes feature and it’s been so handy to quickly save notes and have them accessible on all my devices across different operating systems. Having the app clean old emails has been a real relief and it’s so nice to see such a tidy inbox. I never feel comfortable archiving or deleting many of my emails but one Twobird takes care of them, I don’t miss them. One thing I would love to see is the option for links to open inside an in-app browser. Most of the time I tap a link it’s to unsubscribe. And sometimes using the unsubscribe option in Twobird opens a new tab in Safari to finish the process. I would really prefer not to have to manually close those tabs in Safari. Otherwise, keep up the great work!.Version: 1.0.8

This app has pontential to do greatOverall great app to use, however I wish you can create contacts for work, school, etc in this app. I also wish there widgets for calender, as well email. Another great idea is able create folders for notes. As well for checking on weather. This app is has a lot pontential, Over all the uvp should one system app to have your contacts, calender, to-do, weather, email, and more, which I never seen other competitors have created one system application like that before. Also please seperate to-do and notes.Version: 3.2.0

Great productivity appFantastic app, calendar, email, notes and REMnders all in one, no more app hoping and way more productive. Best use of gmail I’ve seen..Version: 1.3.0

Share InformationIf this App turns out to be as good as their Notability App then it will probably be worth trying. It wanted me to sign in with Google and displayed the message “This allows the app and website to share information about you”. Perhaps it is just badly worded as the description says they don't share information..Version: 0.1.17

Great app, needs a little more customization options.Love the app, just needs ability to make your multiple accounts a specific color so when it’s in the “All Inbox” view you can see messages spectated by specific colors..Version: 2.0.1

LOVE THE APPThis app seriously has helped me get all my priorities in order. Between moving states, stating a new position & having added expenses - the app has truly made my responsibilities go smoothly. Would definitely recommend if you are a 'to-do' list person and need a special platform to help you stay organized! 5 STARS!!!.Version: 3.0.4

Very impressedI got this program on Friday. Monday I downloaded the desktop app. I've deleted my old management app, and given up on the Gmail adjustments I made to try and work with it. I love the TwoBird way. I can look at my email again. Just managing my mail took too much of my time, and this has been multiplied by the firehose of messages companies send out these days. This simple approach mixes emails with a reminder and to do list. I find it flexible and easy to navigate. So impressed that I'm hoping the desktop app lets me do some fun things the Gmail interface has. But even if it doesn't, I can still go back to Gmail and have that feature. Turns email from a necessary nuisance into a productivity tool..Version: 3.2.0

Actually feels simpleI was surprised at how easily I was able to get through my important emails in this app. All the little tweaks - the one line reply bar, unsubscribing, merged accounts, beautifully integrated notes - really add up to a nice experience. The only feature that feels missing to me is the ability to quickly make a calendar event and see a 1 day calendar overview. Also if the notes ever support latex markdown (eg $\alpha$) that would be amazing....Version: 1.0.9

Great email client! Just need to add one more featureTwobird is a great email client! I love how minimal and sleek it is, and I love how I can write my own to-do lists and set my own reminders into this app. The built-in calendar is also a nice touch. The only feature missing from this app is widgets. I think by adding widgets, it would boost productivity exponentially. Just imagine having a Twobird To-do widget in the Home Screen on the iPad, for example. I think that would really help me get a lot of things done without having to open the Twobird app just to look at my To-do lists. Other than widgets, I think this is a great email client!.Version: 3.2.0

Makes life easierThis just makes life much easier! Everything in a single place..Version: 2.0.3

The best cross-platform email appI love that emails and notes can be assigned a date and show up on the calendar. The low-priority filtering is great and the unsubscribe feature is fantastic. What I want: 1. There is a bug right now where the main menu fails to open and I have to re-launch the app. 2. A calendar widget so I can stop using fantastical and use this as my primary calendar! Let me see those scheduled notes, emails and events is one glorious summary on my Home Screen! 3. A better markdown viewing and editing experience on mobile. It would be nice to just see a link as a link, without all the []() etc, you know?.Version: 2.1.4

Functional and beautifully simpleThis app looks great, and is a great break from the stock gmail, that I don’t like very much. I love how easy it is to use as well. There are lots of things that are beautiful in their simplicity, just like in Notability. That said, I do have a few problems with it. During the 30 minutes or so I spent poking around, I had a crash when using the Unsubscribe feature. There was also no support for the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard Command keys, even though there were prompts in the settings that said they would work. It must have been just referring to Macs. Since a lot of people are going to migrate to this app because of Notability, I think it’s important to cater a little more to people using iPads. I think that a cool idea that would work great for me is having support for copying over a to-do list or schedule that I wrote in Notability, and converting it into text, then using that to make a reminder for those times, because I love physically writing up my schedule, but there’s no way to add a reminder through Notability. This would help me a lot and would be a great way to create a way for these apps to work together which would be so cool. Overall though, this is a great app that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a new email app..Version: 1.0.0

Needs improvementsGood app and am aware it’s still in its infancy however it needs a lot of work. The main one for me thus far is the lack of swipe to action shortcuts. You are only able to choose one swipe action in one direction and that is it… bit of a weird thing to omit when the feature is clearly in the app.Version: 3.2.0

‘Ginger’ cures everything ...Thank you Ginger Labs for creating Twobird and Notability. Twobirds is an uncomplicated email app and I appreciate its ease of use, especially as far as setting up and viewing accounts, gestures and straightforward options. Right now Google and Microsoft accounts are supported but there are rumors of additional accounts support in the future. I use the app for easy back-and-forth messages, notes (you can create notes in the app) and reminders and enjoy not feeling overwhelmed or overly-frustrated with to many or not enough options. Twobirds is what I need right now and the improvements and additions made since it was introduced keep me hopeful that that statement will improve to ‘in-future.’.Version: 2.0.1

Hey without the subscription and your own emailGet a priority inbox, automated unsubscribe, and tasks all for free. Plus use your existing email or outlook email - this works just like a normal emilail client... but with extra sugar on top..Version: 3.1.0

Looking forward to version 2Twobird does a lot of things right. Has good speed performance in iPad and iOS. It’s filtering of low-priority emails generally meets my targets for accuracy, simplicity, and efficiency. However, there are some features it doesn’t have that I would need to make it an everyday email client. In particular, it doesn’t display nested gmail labels with ‘subfolder’ structure..Version: 2.1.2

Simple & stylishI was tired of Apple mail so tried a few different apps. This was by far the most easy to read & simple. The low priority feature is great & the fact it doesn’t add to the unread notification is excellent 👍.Version: 2.1.0

Best Mail app I’ve usedTwobird is by far the best mail app I’ve used. My biggest problem with other mail apps is that they end up being too complicated to use, and as a result my email slowly gets overwhelmed. By turning the inbox into a to-do list, Twobird makes it incredibly easy to stay on top of email - and to do so quickly. Really hope they keep the minimal, focused aesthetic going, and continue to support the app well into the future..Version: 3.2.0
