Google’s secondary email app, Inbox, has been shut down by the company, and many of you are probably looking for an alternative, at least those of you who are not willing to revert back to Gmail. A direct alternative for Inbox does not exist, but there are some apps that are taking a similar approach, apps like Spike (formerly known as Hop). Spike is an e-mail app that we’re here to talk about, and it’s actually quite a versatile application. First and foremost, it is worth noting that this app is free to download and use, while it is packed with features. The company behind this app, Hop, actually advertizes Spike as “the world’s first conversational email app”. The company also claims that the app will increase productivity thanks to its smart features, such as organizing your inbox, for example, which is something Inbox was truly great at. So, why is the company referring to this app as a “conversational email app”? Well, its email … [Read more...] about Spike Is A Conversational Email Alternative To Google’s Inbox

The best Apple AirPods alternatives for Android, Windows, and iOS devices
Apple shook things up when it announced that newer iPhones would no longer sport the 3.5mm headphone jack – a design decision that still remains controversial – but the Cupertino, California-based company’s reasoning is sound (if not a few years ahead of the curve). Wireless is the way forward, and more and more people are trading their wired earbuds for ones that ditch tangle-prone cables. The popular Apple AirPods – while still perhaps the best pick for iOS users – aren’t the only game in town, though: Plenty of other tech makers are offering their own great (and truly wireless) earbuds for Android, iOS, and Windows devices. If you’re looking to buy a pair of high-end wireless headphones, then we’ve rounded up six of the best AirPod alternatives on the market today, including some of our favorites.

Google revamps Gmail for Android and iOS
Since the launch of Android P, Google has been hard at work rolling out its new "Google Material Theme" design language across all of its products. Desktop Gmail got its big redesign early in 2018, and this week is mobile Gmail's turn. On its official blog today, Google announced the new Gmail mobile design for Android and iOS. Further ReadingGmail.com gets its biggest upgrade since 2011 with today’s redesign launchWe only have a few basic pictures to go on right now, but like every other Google Material redesign, the new Gmail app is best described as "white and round." Google's new design language uses the stark white Google.com homepage as inspiration, so its new apps are almost entirely devoid of color. The big red header from the old Gmail app has been swapped out for a white search bar, so the only touches of color are from contact pictures, labels, and attachments. Besides the new color scheme, Google says you'll be able to "quickly view attachments—like … [Read more...] about Google revamps Gmail for Android and iOS

Best Android apps in 2019
We have selected three great Android launcher alternatives for you to check out. Microsoft Launcher is a clean and clutter-free solution, with a focus on stylish looks and a convenient button that you press one to change your wallpapers using Bing's carefully selected daily pictures. It comes with a neat side panel where you get a ton of useful widgets: recent and popular contacts, settings reminders, weather alerts and so on. Arrow also has a swipe up from the bottom gesture that brings a menu like Control Center on the iPhone, which is definitely useful (but this particular element of the launcher tends to stutter on some phones). The Google Now Launcher is probably the best way to get the stock and contemporary Android look as Google itself sees it. With the latest update, the Google Now Launcher allows you to normalize icon sizes so there are no longer huge icons contrasting with much tinier ones, and it even makes it possible to use your phone in landscape mode (which we find … [Read more...] about Best Android apps in 2019
