Newton Email App stops working Sept 25th
In a blog post on the company website CEO and founder Rohit Nadhani said,
It was a tough business decision. We explored various business models but couldn’t successfully figure out profitability & growth over the long term. It was hard; the market for premium consumer mail apps is not big enough, and it faces stiff competition from high quality free apps from Google, Microsoft, and Apple. We put up a hard and honest fight, but it was not enough to overcome the bundling & platform default advantages enjoyed by the large tech companies.
If you’re currently a Newton user, your auto-renewal has already been cancelled. The company is working with Apple and Google to find the best way to get pro-rated refunds to users for the time left on their subscriptions beyond September 25th. If you were thinking about trying out Newton, don’t bother because you can’t sign up for a subscription any more.
