Shortwave Overview

What is Shortwave?

Shortwave is the smartest email app on planet Earth. Email is the backbone of modern business communications. Every day, billions of emails are exchanged inside and between businesses discussing everything from investment decisions, to high-stakes negotiations, to product designs, to major purchases. Email is the one tool that connects everyone — employees, customers, vendors, even the CEO. The biggest decisions are made in the email inboxes of business leaders. And yet, the inbox you rely on every day has not fundamentally improved in over a decade. It lacks the basic tools you need to get organized, and it's full of marketing spam and other junk. Sure, it shows you your emails, but it doesn't help you make sense of them, and it certainly doesn't help you get things done. Artificial intelligence has completely changed what is possible with modern productivity software. What if your inbox didn't just show you your emails, but actually understood them. What if it could give you answers, rather than just running searches? What if it unlocked insights from your inbox that helped you make better decisions? What if it could make intelligent recommendations right when you needed them? At Shortwave, we're leading the way in combining cutting-edge AI technology with world-class design & productivity practices to bring you the world's most advanced email client. We aim to not just save you time, but to actually make you smarter too. Our team previously built products used by millions at Firebase and Google, and we're backed by world-class investors including Union Square Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

What do you like best about Shortwave?

Shortwave helps me to organize my inbox. I really like being able to pin important emails/ threads to the top of my email inbox so they are available quickly. It is brilliant that related emails/threads are grouped by either person or group. It is really handy to be able to set a reminder and snooze threads temporarily so they don’t distract me every time I look in my inbox and then they can be dealt with later. It is so important to be able to archive emails so my inbox is no longer cluttered. This helps to improve my productivity and focus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

I have not come across any disadvantages from using Shortwave. The only noticeable difference is if you want to download more than the last 90 days of email then an upgrade is required from the free service to paid service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortwave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shortwave is being used to help me organize my email inbox resulting in me being more focused and productive. I am no longer wasting my time sorting out my email inbox so it is less cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shortwave?

Before coming across shortwave I never realised my inbox could look so compact and yet so detailed. Finding everything at my fingertips has what made me use Shortwave Forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

Have been using Shortwave for a long time and I am tired at looking at the same theme, I wish there were more themes to use in my inbox so that I can change it when I get bored of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortwave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shortwave has litreally improved my efficiency as now I have better clean and organised inbox, I can see a classifed email based on whihc threads are important and which one can be ignored.

Shortwave pulls up all the threads from regular Inbox and places them in a way that it becomes so easy to find what I am looking for.

Especially the mailer's logo is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Shortwave?

I like the way Shortwave organizes my emails. I got used to using Google's Inbox and loved it, only to have Google pull the rug out from beneath me. Shortwave integrates well with my Gmail account and provides me with what I had been missing since Inbox disappeared. Organizing by thread as it does is such a convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

Unless I have missed something, I am unable to add my WiseStamp signature to my emails. I must add my customary signature individually for outgoing emails. Perhaps WiseStamp will add shortwave to its connections, but for now I have to load them manually for each outgoing piece. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortwave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organizing by threads clearly and easily; and, a clear and uncluttered interface. I can zip through my emails quickly each day now, especially in the early mornings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shortwave?

Nothing much. I tried this software thinking it would help me speed up accessing, reading, and working with Gmail but in reality, it did exactly the opposite. It slowed down the process, it did not help with stacking the conversation and I had to spend quite a lot of time in learning how this tool works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

Almost everything. This layover has made my Gmail - with which I was very comfortable - clumsy, and harder to use. It is taking forever to load the conversation and settings and this is very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortwave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not much. I often have to use Gmail account as well for my work and thought about improving its performance through Shortwave but that did not help and I had to delete it back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
