We’ve known for a while that email was broken; we just didn’t know that we knew it too. The Inbox app goes a long way toward fixing the problem of an excessive deluge of updates, solicitations, and downright junk. Like Mailbox, you can swipe and snooze your way to a clean inbox. Engaging in the email far more quickly than with the Gmail app. Yet there’s a learning curve for some features and growing pains for power Gmail users. But give it time; you’ll find yourself going all-in. We’ve compiled the ten best features, highlighting a few areas in Inbox that could improve. Check out our slideshow and let us know your thoughts about Inbox. And if it’s changed anything about how you manage your Gmail. Inbox is invite only. The best way to get on the list is to mail [email protected] asking to test it out. Which sends out invites in waves.

Snooze is the killer Feature
Unfortunately, it’s been a little quirky for me in practice. I’m not constantly pulling the email when I’m at the location. Snoozing emails puts them out of my mind. So I’m not continually going back and fretting about the details. Much as Dumbledore could store away thoughts for later. It gets out of your Inbox, but you’ve set it to come back later. When you need to deal with the content.
