I have never had a single situation where the interface or sync was the bottleneck in handling email—it is ALWAYS the content, where responding to the email requires completing its own project.

$30 monthly? For an email app? No, thanks!

I used Superhuman for years. I recently switched to Shortwave. For all the admittedly impressive bells and whistles Superhuman has—some of which I do miss—the fact is, the way Shortwave organizes emails into bundles allows me to process my emails quickly and intelligently in a way I never could in Superhuman. Just like with Superhuman's "splits", it takes time setting up the bundles. But now that I have them dialed in. I can open Shortwave and *instantly* know what needs to be done next. I could never do that with Superhuman even with my splits well organized because I still have to click on each split to see what's in it. Shortwave gives me the well-organized top level view of everything that's come in. So where Superhuman has a fast, smart UI, Shortwave has a smart organization that lets me get the actual work of processing emails done much faster.

For 15 a month I would get it but 30 is crazy

They don't even offer a free trial tho.. Crazy to charge that much and then not even let you try it first.

As long as Superhuman doesn't have proper multi-account features, it's honestly not worth it. I have to keep up to date with 4 accounts (which might not even be that much for others) and doing so is just plain stressful, especially on Mac where you are forced to open tabs for each account.

I paid and got onboard for a yearly plan and now I regret it. It lacks so many basic features on it’s both desktop and mobile interfaces that it creates inefficiency. Every time i provided feedback they told me they will add this to the features request which never comes. Instead they are busy adding ai which i never use. Some examples: reading interface is limited with a certain width regardless of how wide your screen is. With some mails some part of the mail is even left out of the visible area! You can not attach a mail to an other mail to forward it. When i asked they told me to print the mail in pdf format and then attach as a file … even if i tried their pdf rendering is crap the email was messed up as a pdf unreadable.. so many more basic editor features are missing. Dont waste ur time and money for this app is my suggestion.

how should I ditch Outlook for this at work?? does it have access to company calendars (exchange)? does it have access to company adress lists (exchange)? does it have access to shared inboxes (exchange)? their features page seems like it's more for individual/private users

[giorgiokordalis]

which languages are supported ? I write in Greek and Italian except English - are these languages supported?

[Manuelamanrique]

which app would you recommend to use automatic followup on emails of people who do not reply?

[pdjhh]

They're havin a giraffe charing $30/month ontop pof the 20/month we have to pay for the email service behind it. Per user!

[kushailsingh]

I can't find anybody who's done a proper product tour of this app. Everybody posts snippets that look like it's from the fucking advert. Just share your fucking screen and show us the app

[BlairSlavin]

On your site why don’t you date when you reviewed the app so I know if it’s relevant or three years old ???
