Default Google Inbox invite (new email app)

Didn't see a topic on this so I thought I'd start one.

Google is testing a new email app called "Inbox".

http://www.google.com/inbox/

Unfortunately, it's invite only at the moment. Has anyone tried it? Does anyone have a spare invite to send me way?

I don't know what I think about this app. Part of me thinks it's intriguing and part of me thinks it would be really annoying.

I have used it for a bit now, it's ok. From what I have read it takes sometime to get use to and it is suppose to learn as it goes. I don't really do a lot with my gmail accounts so there really isn't much to sort out.

I do like parts of it but I don't think it is something you can dismiss after a day or two.

I sent email request last week and haven't heard anything back. If anyone has a spare invite please PM me, it would be much appreciated.

It's good, takes a bit to get used to.

As a youtuber it groups so much notification spam, which is nice.

Apparently they sell for $300 on ebay for some reason. So if you have a spare invite you might just want to take your business there.

Pretty sure that's a scam, have even seen any extra invitations. And as someone invited I haven't been given any.

So did the invites for the One+ One phone initially but many people chose to give them to CP members instead. Not everyone is greedy.

Picked one up today... pretty cool but it would take some getting used to. I like what it's trying to do, it's just really early. My business email runs through google apps but that's not supported as of yet, so that's a bit of a deal killer for me. I can use it for my personal email, but I'm so used to a unified inbox that it'd be quite the hurdle to overcome. Unlike something like Google Wave or Google+, I wonder if there's something here.

I actually just posted on the oneplus thread asking for an invite there as well (really, I love CP), but would love an invite to Inbox too if someone's got one to spare! Thanks all!

So far nothing from Google and no invites... Tougher to get than I anticipated.
