Stoop is an app I have wanted for a long time, I'm subscribed to so many email newsletters, all bar a handful get lost in my inbox, Stoop will hopefully change all this and I can read more!

One of the freshest product ideas I have seen in a long time. Congrats Tim and Stoop team.

Downloaded this yesterday and have been loving the app so far. Has a lot of potential to remove distractions from my inbox and make me excited to sign up for newsletters again. A huge plus is knowing that I can quickly unsubscribe from anything without going through a mail app > browser > back to mail app workflow. A small design nit: the pressed state on cards is a bit distracting. Maybe make them more subtle or ignore taps if I’m scrolling.
Zach Johnston
Yeah, the cards in the discover tab. Just a lot of visual noise when you tap on things. Other than that, love the aesthetic.

This is awesome. Too early to tell how it will hold up over time, but I will give it an honest effort. I subscribe to dozens of newsletters that are all organized by filters in Gmail. It will be interesting to see if using a dedicated app will improve my current experience.
Kai Gradert
@timraybould And no notifications 👏
Juan Vaamonde
@kaigradert @timraybould Tried to do that but Gmail asks that I confirm my new forwarding email address? Which is the issue I encounter with many newsletters I try to sign up with Stoop. Loving the app in general though
Juan Vaamonde
@timraybould Thanks but Gmail is asking me for the verification code it sent to my stoop email, but there's no way for me to sign in to my stoop email and grab that code right?
Kai Gradert
@timraybould How do you handle “confirmation emails”? I just signed up to a few newsletters, but they all require an email confirmation. I assume you handle the confirmation? If so, when does doe a newsletter show up in the app? As soon as I subscribe? Or when the first newsletter shows up?
Kai Gradert
@timraybould Got it. I missed the Inbox entirely. At first glance it is confusing to see Newsletters in the Inbox and under “Subscriptions”. Technically it makes sense, though. Could you scan the Inbox for “Confirmation” emails, and then show them as “ghosted” entries under “Subscriptions”?

FINALLY!!!! I've been waiting for someone to build a product like this!

Stoop is exactly what I've been waiting for. This is the (my) future of news briefings.

Pros:

Easily aggregates newsletters & recommends new ones. I love how easy it is to subscribe to new ones! The autofill email feature 👌🏾

Cons:

Onboarding could be better.

I love this. I just downloaded the app, it's such a great idea and hopefully, now my emails will be emails and I can dedicate real time to read the newsletters I subscribe to.
Sam McAllister
Great idea, beautifully designed AND it's on Android. Congrats on a fantastic launch! All signed up

Why would this app need below permissions on Android? - Photos/Media/Files - Device ID & call information @timraybould @aaronoleary
deepu
@aaronoleary @timraybould Thank you. It is weird if a library is asking such permissions 😟 if that's true then Facebook is trying to haunt all of us even with their libraries.

I have been in need of an app like this for so long. My email gets so cluttered it can be hard to follow all of my newsletters, this app absolutely helps
Quintin Woods
Wow, this is awesome! A very fresh idea that is extremely applicable to a wide range of individuals. This makes the experience of reading newsletters more engaging and attractive. A new inbox just for newsletters - now I can read in peace!
Nathan
This is great, I’ll be a power user! It would be incredible if you could view old newsletters, otherwise there’s limited content to grab users before the first newsletter arrives (just like a podcast app having old podcasts). Understandably difficult, maybe it’ll come in time as you become the default home of newsletters. Great work!
Stephen O'Grady
Stoop just changed my daily email game for the better. Anything that adjusts my personal workflow needs to bring value right out of the gate and Stoop does just that. 👏👏 Well done!
Yashu Mittal
Newsletter send via email often mixed up, but now I got a seperate app for it. Just hoping that stoop doesn't set any barrier between the content creator and read via paid plans.

Friendship with unroll ended, stoop is my new best friend

@ljupcho I was an Unroll user too! Any reason your friendship came to an end?

Very interesting concept!

In love with this product. Would love to be able to delete those “confirm subscription” emails and I feel a little confused between the My Stoop and Subscriptions tabs. Maybe its better just to have one feed with half page cards of the news letters and an inbox icon on the top right for managing any incoming non-newsletter content emails (like confirm subscription and thank you for subscribing etc). But all in all this is the best product I’ve come across in a long time and I’ve been searching for so long to find that perfect newsletter reader.
Khaled Aly
@timraybould One more idea is to have a "wish list" button for paid newsletters that we want to subscribe to but can't afford to atm. Best of luck!
