Newton is an email management application for iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Chrome OS developed by CloudMagic, Inc. The application is known for its searching capabilities, cross-platform abilities and user interface. It has been referred to as an email client better than Gmail's native app. As from September 15, 2016, CloudMagic has been renamed to Newton Mail with premium services, adding a host of new features and functions.

Features

Newton provides support for Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Outlook.com, iCloud, Google Apps, Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Mail.com, GMX, AOL and IMAP accounts. The application currently runs on all iOS devices running iOS 8 and above, and Android devices running Android 4.0 and above. Newton was one of the first apps on Chrome OS when Google decided to bring Android apps to Chromebook.

In March 2014, Newton announced Cards, a feature that connects popular services like Evernote, Pocket, Trello, Asana, Microsoft OneNote, Salesforce.com, Zendesk and integrates them with the app. Cards make it easier for users to complete their workflow without leaving their email. Newton was one of the first apps to support Android Wear when it was announced in Google I/O, June 2014.

In January 2015, Newton launched a "Pro" subscription service ($4.99 monthly; $44.99 yearly) to allow greater than five mail accounts be added, preference and configuration sync, among other features. The Pro subscription was discontinued in April of the same year. In April 2016, Newton partially reintroduced premium services by introducing Sender Profile, then on September 14, 2016, renamed CloudMagic to Newton and fully introduced a subscription fee of $49.99 yearly (with 14-day trial). The change was met with negative responses from users.
