app for iOS (and Mac). After paying less than $25
million for Sparrow in 2012, Google charged $2.99
for the email client in the Apple App Store. While
the wings have been pulled off Sparrow, Google
will continue to support it for those who shelled
out cash to purchase the app. After its debut,
Sparrow become one of the top utility apps for
the iOS platform before tumbling to its current
position as the 842nd most downloaded iOS app
(according to AppAnnie).
Google hopes that those looking for Sparrow, and
current users of it, both migrate over to its
highly regarded Inbox . The latter is a free app
available via invitation only. Inbox helps you sort
your Gmail, snooze it and will even allow you to
retract a sent email before it is read.
Recently, Google said that 70% of Inbox users are
Android owners with 28% rockin' iOS . Google
would like to see the usage data broaden out
more with more iPhone and iPad users installing
the app. You can ask for an Inbox invitation by
emailing your request to inbox@google.com.
