Tried the app today. Slack, the calendar and bot are really useful. However, not switching from Mailspring until the interface changes. The type is too big at places and overall didn't like the look and feel of my Inbox.

I switched to Astro this fall for all of my email and love it. I was initially surprised by how much I liked the chatbot, and with this update, it’s won me over even more. Also really excited about the addition of Calendar. Makes it a lot easier than switching between apps to figure out what’s going on in my day. Congrats to the team on the huge update!

Quite possibly the smoothest email experience 😃

Love the update guys, and have moved over from a paid sub to Newton app. Calendar is a superb addition but it has to have one tap on address to bring into Google/Apple maps or Waze. Also would like colours on different email account while in all accounts 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 @apflaum @astroapp

Dear @microsoft/@google, Please don't buy this company and fuck it up too. (Now that they have a calendar) I've come to like Astro more than, Sunrise &TImeful

Having no support for IMAP basically disqualifies this app for me, as I use FastMail for all workplace needs. G Suite/Office aren't the only players, you know, despite being in majority.

Pros:

AI, best in class UI and UX, calendar is awesome.

Cons:

No IMAP support, only G Suite and Office 365.

woah....i'm 100% impressed with astro. being cross-platform (including android AND iOS) this early on in the game is what attracted me to try it out. i finally had settled on Spark until i found astro a few weeks ago. it does everything i loved about Spark, but then adds this AI bot that i didn't know i needed. it's actually super useful. On top of all this, the design is top-notch!

Been using Astro for months and I absolutely love it. The key for me is reliability and for me, Astro has the most of it. Stay true to your core and continue to make a solid and STABLE product.

Great product!!! Keep it up! It would be great if we can add icloud accounts. Thanks!

This has huge potential but there are some things that stop me using it... - No option to turn off conversation view. I'm not sure if this is just me but I hate conversation view. I feel messages get lost and Astro's conversation view is not intuitive to me (collapsing messages etc) - No option to reply to the default address an email was sent to. I get an email to my work inbox and hit reply, it uses my personal address :( - No option to view all my accounts in the sidebar as their own thing. I can view either one at a time or everything merged together. I don't like combining multiple inboxes into one view and heavily rely on labels which become hidden when viewing all accounts. If I have an inbox selected, I have no visibility of the other accounts. - I would love an option to just use the calendar or the inbox. Right now I can't leave airmail until the inbox things mentioned above are available but I love the calendar view. That being said, the app is lovely, well designed and the bot integration is interesting. I just look for more options like explained above. It's my most used app so flexibility is so important.

Seems interesting, just had a concern, why it's free? how are you guys making profit?

Do I understand it right there is no IMAP support in Mac app?

I've been using Astro on and off for about a year now. I use it on mobile far more than desktop. It has all the standard features you'd expect out of a modern email app (snoozing, follow-ups, etc). I mainly like it because it nudges better behavior in my emails. The "would you like to make ___ a VIP?" is my most frequently used nudge, the daily roll-ups are informative, and the read receipts come in very handy. Overall I like that it has a distinct look and feel without compromising usability or reliability.

Pros:

Fast, fluid, easy, solid, reliable, has personality

Cons:

I don't embrace the bot as much as i should, so that's on me

Very nice. Very nice.

Astro is my favorite e-mail app. The performance of the app is fantastic, the sync works well and the little suggestions for VIPs and decluttering of my inbox is superb. Calendar integration is a huge +1 from me. It synced my events very well. My only concern is notes from the organizer are unviewable, meaning any video call information doesn't show up. My previous favorite app for meetings also pulled in the dial in info, allowing me to one click start a meeting. Surely an AI capable calendar would do such a function... Great work!

No iCloud support. No IMAP support. Not a real full email client. Yet. By the way, the "not yet supported" ambiguity has been said since the beginning of Astro. I'd be happier if they were not unclear anymore and simply said "we won't support it". Then users like myself wouldn't waste time expecting it..

I really like this as it makes me think that I am actually getting through emails and I am actively finding ways to reduce the bulk of things I don't look at anymore.

Pros:

Multiple accounts, calendar addition is great, actionable unsubscribes, VIP contacts and a whole heap more.

Cons:

none as yet

I've tried this app for a couple days now and although I see great potential there are still a few things I'd like to see before I can fully switch over. When using a work email address, all of my colleagues calanders are synced and I cannot untick them all as the list is too short. No Windows app. Any idea of when this will be coming? Would you ever consider making a web client for desktop?

I've been using Astro as my primary email for quite awhile now. Fast iterations, solid interface, etc. I do love the Alexa integration, and tend to use it frequently. Still trying to figure out how to use the conversational interface effectively, but I think that is more that I am old, than it isnt helpful.
