![]() ![]() The feature that allows me to share I file directly through Kiwi worked great for the first few weeks but stopped working shortly after. ![]() This makes it much easier for me to bounce around without losing my work. I love that it creates a new window for things such as my Google Drive, Calendar, and even composing individual emails. It is very simple for me to bounce between accounts, access various applications within each account, and keep track of all of my correspondence in one spot. Kiwi made it very easy for me to organize all of my email accounts, of which I have several, in one spot. Kiwi has made it so easy for me to see everything in one spot and does a great job and keeping everything organized, but not completely changing the Gmail that I am used to. Since getting Kiwi, I have noticed I spend a lot less time navigating through various browser windows to filter through and keep up on all of my emails and calendar events. Apart from that, I am thoroughly impressed by the flawless experience UX CX Add ons need to be expanded and the development + product team needs to be AHEAD, keep up and communicate to users with PC /Mac upgrades that cause problems. Opens up multiple windows every time you want to make entries. There are lags occasionally, calendar functionality could use some work. Overall a massive productivity enabler vs. UX is highly intuitive, switching between multiple Gmail accounts is magnificent along with file transfer feature ( currently not working, needs an update following Mac updates) As promised the UX brings all the familiarity of a client host in Gsuite, mail, instant access to drive calendar docs. Seamless Integration to Gsuite, few hic-ups with Grammarly but corrected quickly once identified by the development team. They are a start-up and grinding it out the right way listening to power users. Going above and beyond - with clear communication and expectations. Super response customer and tech support. That is the only thing missing from my type of use. If I had one request it would be to add a Google Classroom launch from the app. Also, its functionality and efficiency at having what I need available to me without having to open tabs and navigate through something has been huge. KIWI optimizes all of that running those other functions (other than email) as an app instead of through the browser certainly has sped things up for me. And since our Ed Suite is all web-based, you need multiple tabs open to get things done. Anyone who has used a Macbook knows that your RAM gets bogged down when multiple windows are open, especially in CHrome. Now admittedly, I use the free version because I only really use it with my school account on my district-issued computer. ![]() PROSĪs someone who spends a lot of time answering emails, then having to set up a calendar invite/schedule meetings, KIWI Mail has been a real game-changer. I love this product and recommend it to anyone who cares to listen, and I swear by it to anyone who won't. So if I want to keep it out of the way, and not be distracted by it when I alt tab - BUT still get notifications I have to put it on another desktop. You also can't set Kiwi as the default app for ".gdsheet" / ".gddoc" and similar (the extension formats used by Insync) so that's a bit of a pain. For google sheets that I use daily, I'm not going to click through multiple screens when I can click on a shortcut on my taskbar, or hit the windows key and start typing for the shortcut I've saved. I tend to use google drive in browser, again for dark mode, but also because I can save shortcuts to specific files, or install them as 'apps'. Also the lack of a dark theme (and not having an addon like dark-reader) means that I don't use the calendar. ics files to easily add events when they are provided in that way. The calendar could be more fully into the OS. Never had any major issues with stability etc. Simple and straightforward, interface is clean. Notifications within windows and integration is good. , but lack of a dark theme (across all windows) and lack of integration for Google Calendar and Google Drive mean that I don't make as much use of Kiwi as I might otherwise. It's fine for email, and is a nice reliable solution. ![]()
