Weird not one person here mentionD that a completely different company (Essential the phone maker) purchased Newton and brought them back. Very odd move by Essential IMO given their own financial struggles.

Started with Spark, then went to Newton, then Newton went away now see no reason to.go back and pay $49 for Newton when Spark covers what I need.
@bradungar Has Spark made it possible to NOT use threaded view? I remember reaching the conclusion that it is literally the perfect app for me, if it wasn't for that little super annoying thing. Just let me see my feed chronologically! 😃
Thank the Gods for whoever brought this back. I have tried to cobble together a better solution, and there's nothing as good as Newton. Let's hope they will continue to develop and improve the product.
@joshuaarnao i mean yeah, but 1) just because everyone else does it doesn't make it cool and 2) most of the others aren't double-dipping by charging users $50 and then selling your info on top of it
As many others here said quite well, I'm astonished that I'm having to find out from Product Hunt that they're back after being with them from the very beginning and paying for them (happily) AND telling loads of others about them. I sung their praises as one of my fave apps and then they shut down only to now return with zero notice to their former loyal members. Wow. I'm pretty sure my trust in them is gone. Disappointing...
Read receipts, Send Later, Separate Tabs for Newsletters. What will they think of next!
Uh-oh, if any email client was going to tempt me back away from Superhuman, it would be Newton.
Agree with some of the other comments that, as a past and paying user, I was a little surprised and disappointed to discover the return of Newton via PH and not directly - but if they can get their pricing right (and Superhuman's success suggests a paid-for email client is possible) then this could be the re-start of something great. 🚀
And a $50/year, definitely worth the price if you have a use for the Super Powers ⚡
The best email client ever.
- Clean UI
- Extremely good ergonomy
- Power Apps
- Great MacOSX app
Worth every penny definitely.
It doesn't seem to do much more than many other email apps on the market. What does the $50/yr get you?
@hickmanzackary Scheduled sending, emails are fetched in the cloud, great design, read receipts, cross platform consistency, amazing integrations with other platforms. I could go on.
@hickmanzackary I use email hundreds of times a day and it runs my life, that is worth A LOT more than $50 a year to me personally
Have been their users since the very beginning. Was very disappointed when they went away. Surprised they are back but also a bit annoyed. They are not handling it well. No notifications to past users. Have to visit product hunt to find out they are back. No incentive to join again. Not the way you should be treating your customers who stood by you thru thick and thin. Have since moved to Spark and not sure I’ll be coming back.
@ivor_kovic I definitely agree with you, I´m on the same situation, user since the very beginning and surprise on Product Hunt, they´re back. Shoul´ve handle it better.
@ivor_kovic Same - even before they were Newton. I actually moved over to Superhuman. Still a little nostalgic for Newton, but should have heard about its resurgence from them!
I used to use it before renaming it, when it was free without the extra features which I don't care for. Then they added a horrible orange banner telling you to upgrade to the paid functions which most didn't care about. Finally they closed down all free apps and only allowed you to buy it in a subscription plan. After that I forgot about them until I saw them here today.
Pros:Nice looking.
Cons:Way too expensive at 50 dollars PER YEAR. Subscription model.
The best email app so far
Pros:Cross platform Simple UI Read Receipts Clean Design
Cons:None so far!! Totally worth it's price
There is no competitor that matches the overall UI/UX and features. 2nd best would be polymail - but with a huge distance.
Pros:The best email experience on the market for people using multi devices. Totally worth the price!
Cons:There are none!
- Didn't like how they handled an issue I raised, very rude. - Didn't like how they closed down at such short notice - Rather annoyed after spending ages looking for a new email client that they came back so soon.
Pros:I used to use it (before it changed names).
Cons:See below:
Totally agree with the short notice on closing and the quick turnaround. I've switched to Polymail and although I preferred Newton originally I'm reluctant to switch back. Even the sub-title of the re-launch blogpost feels weird: "This time we are aiming for the next orbit". So, one more year? Then shutdown again?
Totally agree. I am staying with Spark. Why would I want to introduce their unpredicatlbity back into my life.
Don't get me wrong. I've loved Newton from day one, and was devastated when they shut down...
But seriously? They didn't even inform their past customers before relaunching? I know Newton was acquired after their horribly handled shutdown, but why should we trust this company again? They've proven time and time again that serving and communicating with customers isn't a priority, and this launch shows they still haven't learned that lesson. So again, why on earth should we trust you guys?
Also, get with the times and develop a dark mode already.
Used this when it was CloudMagic and loved it. They lost me when they made the switch to Newton Mail and started charging so much. Still not interested. I guess it all worked out though, because I discovered that the Outlook app is surprisingly really good, which is where I stand now.
Wow!! I’m big Newton Fan and was customer! They cancelled my account only some months ago, because of shut-down!! How could they stand up again so fast? New owners? Same owner with fresh money?
Please don’t change Newton. Is was great!! Best Email App existing for destruction free Email reading and writing.
Best interface up to now. I checked all available a Email software and Newton was not cheap, but excellent. Easy to control with some keyboard shortcuts and really very destruction free.
Congratulations for being back. I am really happy to read that!
