Although it is true that every time we have better email clients for our Mac, in addition to the application that comes with Apple's operating system, OS X, we always use third-party applications to manage mail. One of these clients has just disappeared from the Mac App Store and the App Store for iOS devices, we are talking about Sparrow.
This email client was launched in 2011 and has gone through several ecaps of success and failure as an email client. The first of its successes was the great reception by OS X users who wanted to put aside the mail webs and Apple's own naiva application to launch the use of the app, but after many updates and a sudden purchase by Google (in the summer of 2012) led it to failure, until today it has just disappeared from both Apple stores.
LThe last update was received in October 2012 and it stayed in this version for a long time until little by little the users were putting it aside.
Although it is true that nowadays no one used it for more than obvious reasons and that we have much better clients such as Airmail, Mailbox or even the native Apple Mail applications, we can say that this application was one of the pioneers in appearing as an email client and it promised an interesting and lasting future. In the end it could not be and this is another of the applications that falls by the wayside despite promising a lot at the beginning.
Sparrow left all users with the doors in their noses overnight. And to this day Google has not been interested in continuing to evolve the program. That you pay for a program and suddenly see that it will no longer be updated, leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and customers were felt. Soon Airmail came out and inherited those of us who, like me, liked the interface and its functionality.
The disappearance was only a matter of time.
