CloudMagic, Best Mail client for iOS and Android


iOS and Android has lot of mail apps in which some provide Good UI but lack in performance, some are good w.r.t it's feature but lack UI and some doesn't even suit to be called as Mail Clients. I am sure that you believe in what I just said. 

A friend of mine mentioned about CloudMagic Mail app some time during the end of October 2013 and I said, "Dude, all Mail clients are one and the same. It's better if I just stick with Gmail app"(Since I use only Gmails) After sometime, I thought let me give a try and headed to Play Store and searched for "CloudMagic". In the search results, first app which play store displayed was "CloudMagic - Free Mail App". Went ahead and installed it. After installation, it asked for login/Sign-Up. Since I already had an account which was previously associated with CloudMagic Search app, I just entered my credentials and logged in.

Wow!!! This was the first word which I said just by looking at the UI interface. As I started to look at all the features and facilities provided within the app, I was just saying 3 words. Wow!!!  Awesome!!!  and Beauty!!! Colours are just the way it is meant to be which makes it look clean and neat. No doubt why this app is currently in "Play Picks - Apps we love" section.

First thing which amazed me was the Search speed. I was running on 3G Aircel network when I did my first search. At first, I thought, network speed is brilliant but later realised that the speed with which the results are fetched are brilliantly fast and highly accurate. Best of all is, search across multiple accounts.

Next, Multiple Accounts. Gmail has already provided the feature of multiple accounts, but that is restricted only to Gmail, but this app provides facility to configure accounts of 8 different types. Earlier, they used to support max of 3 accounts and few days back, they increased it to 5.

All Inboxes My most loved feature. You can see all your configured mail accounts in the side drawer along with a special and most useful section "All Inboxes". It combines all mails from all of your accounts, arranges in decreasing order of time and differentiates mails of different accounts with different colours. You cannot customise the colour as of now. 

Default "From" address This comes handy if you have selected "All Inboxes". It provides facility for the end user to set "From" address in "From" field by default when composing a mail.

Passcode Lock No need of any third party apps to secure your mails from unauthorised user. You can set a passcode lock which will be prompted to user whenever app is opened.

CloudMagic has integrated all of the above and all the features which every mail app must have. Looking forward to have some more facilities/features like the following which makes user experience much more awesome.
  1. Swipe left and right to move/shift between mails.
  2. Color Customisation support to differentiate mails from multiple accounts.
  3. Report as spam.
  4. Zooming option within preview.

Free SMS service by Google via Google Chat



Google has launched its free SMS service in India and other countries using which users can send SMS to people who are in their contact list for free. Google has reported saying that it will not charge for SMS but initially users will be provided with 50 free SMSes. Google would decrease this count by one everytime you send a SMS but the good thing is that when a user responds to text message, the count increases by 5.

If SMS count becomes 0(zero), it would ideally reset within 24hours or the user can buy the credit by paying for the service.

This service went live in India and other 51 countries on October 10th. Google has also provided service where-in the user can block receiving messages sent from Google SMS chat.

Gmail to come with a new login screen

Ever since the launch of Google+, Google has gone on to change the UI of lot other google products. First it was the google search itself and then blogger, then gmail(through a preview theme) and now the login screen for Gmail. The new gmail login screen was available for preview and here is how it looks -


Click on the image to enlarge.


The new interface looks similar and matches the Google Search template. So google is probably planning to have the same interface to all the other google services.

SMSBackup - Save your SMS to your Gmail Inbox



SMSBackup is a software for your android that enables you to save your SMS into your Gmail inbox. Once you set it up, it automatically synchronizes your SMS messages to your GMAIL so that you can delete them from your capacity overloaded smartphone. This is helpful at times when the capacity of your Android is reaching the limits and you do not want to delete the SMSes at the moment. You just click and all your messages will be copied to your Gmail Inbox, both your inbox and the sent items.

To enable SMSBackup, you have to enable IMAP on your Gmail account settings. Here's how you do it.

Go to Mail Settings.

Go to 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab.

Tick the 'Enable IMAP' checkbox.

Now you can just install the SMSBackup on your android and register it with your GMail and every SMS that you receive or send will be automatically synced to the cloud (GMail) and all this is done in the background.

The new Android Market boasts of more than a million apps. You can find SMSBackup and  you can download it from the Android market here.

For a much more detailed user manual, you can always go to the developer's website.
