### "Shortwave saves me from losing important emails" — 5.0/5

> **Tariq** | *17 January 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like being able to pin important emails to the top of my inbox. It's very easy to lose important emails in all the clutter but this solves that problem
> 
> **Cons**: Not a con but I would love to be able to swipe delete emails like I can in Gmail
> 
> When clients send me emails I can't respond to straight away, Shortwave let's me pin them so I can respond layer
