Zero for iOS - Mailbox in a different wrapper

Why do we think copying is bad? Perhaps the main reason is a heightened sense of justice: we do not want to admit that a person did a good job by copying something from another. This feeling moves us forward, giving us the opportunity to create something new, different from everyone else. The Zero developers did something in between, copying the popular Mailbox email client, but changing it in an interesting way.

Zero works differently from other email clients. Each letter is displayed on the main screen. The subject, sender, excerpt from the letter and attachments, if any, are shown. Swipe up sends the letter to the archive, downward - to the inbox, where you can work with it further.

For example, I delete all unnecessary letters due to the fact that I do not want to clog the archive. And if you do the same, then Zero will be less convenient than Mailbox. You can send a letter to the trash can, but only by clicking the Move to button and selecting the trash in the list of folders.

The app runs very smoothly. To be honest, with my iPhone 5, I'm already a little out of the habit of this (hello Google Music). The reason is that Zero's interface is very light and simple, although the app weighs 22 megabytes in the App Store. There's a search here too, but what email client can do without it?

Zero left an extremely positive impression. It is a free email client with a very simple interface and smooth animation. It is so simple that it even lacks some functions, so the application is suitable only for undemanding users.
