You might have many different apps on your phone for texts and IMs. If you are tired of handling all of these apps individually, then you have some help now. This new app called Snowball unifies all your messaging apps in a single inbox. See how and what all it can handle for you.
Appearance
The Snowball app has a nice display to show all your messages received from varied messaging apps, including Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Line, WhatsApp, SMS, Viber, Slack, WeChat and Snapchat. Its inbox receives all your messages. These messages are organized by the names of contacts rather than applications. Your unread messages are always displayed at the top. The app sends all notifications in the form of floating circular pop-ups, as you may have seen for the Facebook Messenger app.
Performance
This new Android app is not a messaging app in itself, but only combines the functions of some common messaging apps. It efficiently pulls several notifications from varied apps using the open architecture of Android. The app also integrates smoothly with all messaging apps due to the flexibility of Android. While it is easily accessible, there are problems accessing it at some locations. This issue is currently being addressed.
Ease of use
The Snowball app is quite simple and easy to use. You only need to tap once on a pop-up notification that appears anywhere on your phone screen on the receipt of a message. It will be easily displayed in an inbox so you may go through all your conversations at your own convenience. Thus, this app makes your life simpler and easier.
Usefulness
Snowball gives you a faster way to communicate with your friends and loved ones. It also presents all your messages in an organized form so you may not have to check every individual messaging app as and when a message is received. This saves a lot of your time on a regular basis that can be invested in other useful activities. Additionally, Snowball connects several popular messaging apps that are commonly used by people. Still, it can be expected to support more such apps in future.
Value for money
You receive complete value for money, as Snowball can be downloaded on your Android phones for free. However, you may have to check your Android version, as it may vary with device.
