MailTime reimagines the way you deal with email. It grabs your email threads and turns them into bubble chats, allowing you to cut through the clutter and communicate more efficiently. If you want to view the original email, just tap the bubble. MailTime’s smart inbox system also learns from your email behavior, automatically sorting email from accounts you’ve already interacted with into a separate tab, helping you quickly find the threads that matter. The app also includes a bunch of other handy features like the ability to quickly create and assign to-dos using the "@" symbol, warnings for messages that ramble on, and quick access buttons to cloud services.

We really like Equalizer Pro because it’s so easy to get great results. If you like to fiddle around with your sound, you can manually adjust the equalizer bars.
