Gmail has smart filtering options, smart replies, an automatically flagged priority inbox - sure, there are email apps that replicate some or all of these features, but they’re all copying off Google’s playbook, and it all still works best here. No other email app offers the same power, feature set, and speed as Gmail offers And that’s the fact that it’s Outlook, a name that’s practically synonymous with “email app.” In a world where third-party apps get snapped up or vanish like smoke at the drop of a hat, and even Google’s Inbox can’t be trusted to stick around, Outlook offers a level of security that other apps don’t. There are a few quibbles - search in particular on Outlook isn’t the fastest around, especially compared to Google’s Gmail app, and if you’re looking for more advanced options like muting specific threads, they’re not here.īut there’s one other big advantage to Outlook over other apps like Spark or Edison. The deeply integrated calendar is also a nice touch, especially when it comes to adding things to your schedule that you just got an email about without having to juggle around between apps. Outlook also has a few quality of life features that just make it nicer to use for casual email, an ever-present response bar at the bottom (without needing to tap to open a new menu) that makes jotting off a quick response a snap.
Outlook will help you get through your emails as fast as possible
