Sparrow Nests at Google

By Unknown on Friday, July 20, 2012





Sparrow, the company behind best damn email client in the world, has just been acquired by Google and will join the Gmail team, unsurprisingly. This is great news for Sparrow and I am happy to see a win like this for any developer, I am saddened to know that Sparrow as we know it will cease to exist. Sparrow was much more than a gmail client like when it started, it made all email better. I have multiple email accounts from different providers and Sparrow was the best way to tackle it all; it provided a single, powerful gmail-like experience combined with the simple elegance of a Brichter inspired app. However, Sparrow is no more; they will not be adding features to the apps. We'll have to wait to see how they change Gmail; ideally Sparrow will merely be rebranded as Gmail for iOS with push notifications.
