Last evening, the iOS version of the famous Sparrow application was finally launched in the App Store. If you own or have owned a Mac, then you know that the Sparrow application is an alternative worthy of consideration to replace the native application of the operating system designed by Apple. The application has an interface similar to that of Facebook, it offers a much more pleasant experience than the native Mail application, but it has two major disadvantages... it does not send push notifications when users receive a new email and it is not available in a version specially made for tablets iPad.
The good part is that for Gmail we have an application that offers a more than decent user experience and yet different from that of Google's Gmail application. Not many people were impressed by the Sparrow application and considering that it costs €2.39, maybe not everyone will be convinced to spend that much money considering that they will not be notified when they receive a new email. Unfortunately, the application does not allow viewing emails in landscape mode, it does not have an integrated browser, but its developers promise to improve it in the future.
