So after 7 years of using Newton in one form or another, this was my last. Other more affordable clients offer more features without a yearly subscription or the fear of another shutdown. Like I said a company on the brink of collapse with so much sensitive information on their servers is a scary proposition. I have also become worried about privacy. The Mac app seems to be abandoned with constant crashes, bugs on the iOS app will go unfixed for months and emails seem to disappear and appear randomly. In a year updates have been scarce and the once refreshing minimalist look is starting to feel dated. So when I signed up again last year and paid my $50 yearly subscription I was expecting to be as satisfied like before but that didn’t happen. I hated the hunt for the perfect replacement but the positive side is that I got to try dozens of clients. Then came the two near-death moments when the service was to be discontinued and saved at the last minute. When CloudMajic moved to a subscription I stayed and even with the constant price hike I stayed. I have been a Newton Mail user since 2014 when it was known as CloudMagic and it was free.
