You do get a good while to test it. To me it was worth every penny.

It's on the playstore, native Exchange support. Best exchange offering for Android.
It's free.

Thank you, CloudMagic looks great, I read a bit more about it and seems like they download your email messages in their servers for indexing. it may be a deal breaker depending on your privacy concerns or company policies.
And, since cloudmagic is free, I wonder which is their business model..

There is a flashable zip available to seperate both.

Seconded this the improved EMAIL app is actually nice. Heres a link to the thread that has a flashable ZIP and an APK in there of the separate EMAIL app to work alongside GMAIL and also bypass exchange security if you need it.

You can always download the Email APK and keep using it instead of Gmail.

Nine is the best one available. It also handles calendar and tasks.
CloudMagic works well for the email, but it doesn't do calendar and tasks. There's also the problem with then storing your information on their server. I don't like that.
If you give Nine a chance, you will buy it.

I gave it a chance and I actually bought it. Thought I would never buy a 10 dollar app but its worth every penny.

Also bought Nine here... Moved from TouchDown.

"Nine" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3
Tried it (free for 10 days). Bought it afterwards. Worth every penny.

Looks great. Highly recommend... I have tried all the others.

As many have already mentioned, Nine is brilliant. I've been using it since it was initially released and have watched it evolve into an absolute killer application. Nothing compares IMO.
Support team is also great. If you've got any questions, suggestions, feedback etc, email it through and you will get a response fairly quickly - at least in my experience anyway.
It is continuously being improved and well worth the $10.

What about Boxer? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boxer.email
Did anyone try the Exchange function?
I'm tempted to buy Nine.

Just reporting back, I ended up using Nine, it's great. It also works with Pebble, (it has an option). Thanks everyone!

Unified email app for Kindle including Activesync

I'm looking for a unified email app that I can also use with Exchange/Activesync and Yahoo boxes. From what I can tell, KF mail app doesn't include Activesync support (yet, or ever?). I use Touchdown on my Nexus S 4G but frankly, I don't want to pay another $20 plus I'm looking for a unified inbox.
I also have a Nexus S 4G and the mail app can do this (although I don't love it because it has some major restrictions, mainly no warning before delete). Does anyone know if I could take the apk from the Nexus and install onto Fire? Has anyone done this?

You can try to side load the apk, it won't break anything, worse case is it won't work.
Why can't you just use the license from your Nexus for Touchdown on your Kindle? Just curious.

I could, but my preference is to have one inbox for Exchange and Yahoo. TD only does Exchange/ActiveSync accounts.
On the license moving, I guess I need to read up more on the licensing policies. I thought you could only use licenses on one device/machine.
Check out Enhanced Email. Its on the Amazon and Aneroid markets and is only $9.99. I like it a lot. Its based on the stock aneroid mail app, so it catches a lot of heat? The support from the dev is awesome though!

Thanks. That is one option I'm looking at, although I was hoping for a free option which is why I was considering the Google Mail (not Gmail) apk. I won't be doing that much emailing on the KF, which is why I'm shying against spending any money at all. I'm glad you like it though, that's a + I suppose.

Just fyi...I read in the reviews of Touchdown that someone else bought a tablet and put it on there and they where allowed to use the same license for their phone and the tablet. So you might want to look into that.

Improvements towards messaging app bbm/imessages

So as much as I love android there is one thing that I kinda of envy when it comes to blackberrys and Iphones and and that would be bbm/imessages. Now im well aware there are apps out there like gtalk or chaton which acts like imessages but I personally would like to see this built into the messaging app itself. I am no developer or anything but it seems that imessages works on the device when it is linked towards the email used for the app store so would it not be easy for google to implement this into their os? I mean on the start up of each android device it does ask you for your gmail password so I was just thinking that this just may be a really nice feature to come out with key lime pie or something. Does anyone else feel this way?
Is this any different from Google Talk? Instant Messaging tied to the Gmail account, rather than the phone number. It's just not as immensely popular.

Well thats the thing. GTalk is perfect but for example all of my friends who own android products havent even heard of it. Im just thinking if google linked GTalk to a phone number then it could be good.
I agree. This would be amazing.
Yes that would be awesome

So I guess a better question is what are the odds of this actually being implemented into the next update?
I have to admit that I do miss bbm from when I used blackberry's. But besides that mild feeling of exclusivity I don't really think its much different thn just texting

Ya i hear ya. I guess the only reason I feel something like Imessages would be helpful is because if we are in places with almost no service but there is wifi it would be pretty amazing. Then again i would be scared for samsung or google to implement this because the last thing we need is another apple lawsuit haha

if google would make it part of the steup wizard and allow images/sounds to be transferred over gtalk, it would be amazing.

Astrid alternatives?

I was just wondering if you guys know any alternatives to Astrid as it is shutting down since Yahoo bought it.
Remember the Milk is suggested a lot but it is only useful if you pay $25 a year. Anybody know some free alternatives that work just as well if not better than Astrid?
This site brings up some good apps but has anybody actually tried some of them?
Where do you know Astrid is going to be shut down from?
I'm using it for a long time and it's great. I was using remember the milk for some time but it is strange, I don't like it.

The Astrid website and the emails they have sent out - Yahoo has bought them out and it's shutting down shortly. I've looked at a few of the recommended replacements but none of them is as good or easy as Astrid.
I'm using mainly Astrid android app. But I didn't get any emails.
I was using some apps long time ago but those were very poor...
Will have a look for some alternatives...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but theres a bit of an update. Astrid seems to have been picked up by another developer, a few of the features are missing (listed on the google play page) but it seems to be pretty good.

Astrid, I miss you so much!
Sorry to drag up this old thread again, but as I miss Astrid very much, I just have one question that keeps me up at night:
Why was it necessary to shut down Astrid?
I mean okay, Yahoo acquired Astrid. That's no problem for me. But when I buy a house, I do not burn it. I really don't understand why they shut down a very well running system. Can anybody explain this to me?
Some words to the posts so far:

Totally agree! I tried EVERY alternative. The closest to Astrid seems to be Wunderlist. I go with this now, but usability is by far not as good as it was with Astrid. I also made a suggestion do wunderlist: http://wunderlist.uservoice.com/for...se-just-implement-all-the-useful-settings-ast

I'm all ears. Your link is broken.
Hi,
It's now called 'Tasks (based on Astrid)' by Alex Baker. Seems quite active but it doesn't have the pure calendar widget support yet so I'm still on the original Astrid. Just trying out 'DGT GTD' which is looking very promising considering it's rock solid and still in alpha!

Need replacement for AKNotepad

Hi, Does anyone know what a good FREE app to use as a replacement for AKNotepad?
I have been using this app for a while now and like the fact that when get a new device or wipe my current one for whatever reason. All I have to do is log on to this app and all my notes are there. Basically they are stored on a cloud. Now that CATCH is no longer going to be around, I need to find a replacement.
They (Catch) have suggested:
Evernote
Simplenote
Springpad
OneNote
I have looked into INKPADNotepad and don't want to pay a monthly or yearly fee.
Basically, I just want to be able to jot something down for future reference.
I would like to know what others are using and what they recommend?
Thanks in advance!

It works perfect. I had a BB before so all my BBM friends were migrated to new BBM10 when I installed it on my device.
Works perfect no lag or service issues noticed so far

What's the point of it? Does it have any advantages over other IM solutions (such as WhatsApp)?
I don't see any use of it. Atleast WhatsApp and Viber picks contact from our phone numbers. This seems useless. The UI looks quite appealing only.

why?
I don't understand why anyone cares about this? What does it do that the myriad other messaging apps don't?
I though everyone here would wanting to be using Hangouts. Possibly by next week it will have sms integration, voice and group video calling and im capabilites all in one app in which you just use your existing Google account.

See, I think we should leave them out in the dark, cold and alone; as a way to gently shame them into upgrading to a device that doesn't suck. =)
I got it to see what the fuss is about, but couldn't agree more with the other statements in this thread, in my opinion, it's too little too late, had it have been before the advent of whatsapp and the like, perhaps it may have been relevant. But now, a service like bbm holds no weight when there's already a few, well established multi-platform services that do the same thing.

One HUGE PRO is You don't need to give out your phone number, you're not tethered to it.
