We are super happy to announce the update for Newton mail across all platforms.

This release is a huge milestone for us. Our work for the past quarter has helped us create a solid base for the future ahead.

After building up the team from scratch, including our wonderful support team, we have slowly progressed towards gaining an understanding of millions of lines of Newton code and the complexities involved.

We approached our first release by focusing on fixing major issues all the apps had across platforms. We also took on feature requests that were most requested by community members like the dark mode. This approach helped developers time to get familiar with the codebase.

We now have a team of 8 developers working full time for Newton. We are much more confident in our ability to release features faster.

Meaning, the next releases are going to be quicker and much more frequent.

We are super thankful to all the users who have supported us and have been patient and understanding.

So what’s new?

Besides plenty of crashes and bug fixes, the new version is a lot more stable and faster.

  • We are introducing true dark mode where apps across platforms now support dark mode including the content of emails.
  • We are also introducing multi swipe on mobile and tablet devices so that you can go through your emails faster.
  • We have drafted a better privacy policy and worked on making changes to our backend to ensure your data protection is our highest priority.

Road ahead:

The next few months will be us focusing on introducing new features as well as solving the most common pain points our users already have. Mainly unified folders and better search experience.

We are working on new features like:

  • Mail Templates
  • Link Receipts
  • Share emails via URL
  • Quote Email Text
  • Pinned emails, and
  • Tracking feed

STAY TUNED!
