It’s been some time that we wanted to say those words:
Sparrow iPhone is now available on the App Store.
Like on the Mac, our goal is to offer you a pleasurable yet more efficient way to deal with your mail on your iPhone.
We gave as much space as we could to your content, emphasized the most common actions and made sure power features were quickly accessible and easy to discover.
You can play with the app and discover its features on our website.
Good Sparrowing to you.
What happens when you combine iOS gestures and UI conventions from Tweetie, Facebook, Twitter for iPad & Path? You get Sparrow, and that’s not a bad thing either. This mail app still feels rooted in iOS despite using a number of “3rd party” conventions.
No doubt using a lot of the tech from their successful desktop app this 1.0 release seems really stable. There’s clearly been some good beta testing. Push notifications are an obvious omission and they are hoping to implement them, but to be honest it’s quite nice not having constant notifications.
I’ll definitely give it a run as my default email client and for those that need it hope that a push solution can be implemented in the next or upcoming release.
“Wireframes are dead. Sketches are dead. Persona study is dead. Meetings are dead…
Photoshop is dead. Spec work is dead. Waterfall model is dead. Relational database is dead. A/B testing is dead. Five day work week is dead…”
I find myself worried that I am not keeping up with best practices and methods. I’ve been in job interviews where I get very specific questions about seemingly arbitrary processes and methods. Do you understand user flows, info architecture, A/B testing, QA, agile, etc. etc. etc.? Just do the work. Do what works for you. I used to be laughed at for designing for web in Illustrator; now it is becoming more standard and soon it will be something else. Tools change, processes evolve, goals are a moving target. Don’t be good at tools. Be good at getting good thoughtful work done.
