Beta·Maniac - For the Impatient one!

Image
I got Whatsapp's new dark mode at least 2 weeks before the official release, The popular email app (calling itself the 'Inbox by Gmail' alternative), Spark Email app introduced more dense mails and folder management which again I got 3 weeks before the official release, Even got Uber's new horizontal interface pretty much before it was officially announced and so on... The list can go on, but here is the point I am trying to put - I am Impatient, if something new (features / overhaul, etc) is announced considering the apps or even the software, I want to try it as fast as possible. So much impatient that I even opted for the beta testing versions for my Oneplus 3T's then upcoming software updates to OxygenOS 4-5 months before the official releases.

SMS Organizer - Pitch Perfect!

So, 2nd April 2019, saw the last day of Inbox by Gmail, perhaps Google's most ambitious project yet (of course, after Google Photos!). I (in fact, everyone who used it), loved the concept of email bundling (and how well Google's algorithms handled it!), high priority notifications, pinning and snoozing e-mails, saving articles, reminders, and a very colourful and playful UI! (Seriously, I miss the app every single day, there hasn't been a single app in the market until now which gets close to Inbox....) Anyways, the reason I gave this background of Inbox is because I've found this new 'Inbox' of SMS apps, right away coming from Microsoft's garage (No, seriously! The developers name themselves literally as Microsoft Garage!) This is how it looks normally So, coming straight to the point, this is perhaps my best ever SMS experience ever since I've stepped into the smartphone world. The features? - Long list, but lets b
