Tech Deal: Get a Newton subscription for 50 percent off

You will find plenty of deals on tech products this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. As usual, the focus is on hardware, but there are some significant discounts to be had on software as well.

Case in point is Newton, my favorite cross-platform email app. Formerly known as CloudMagic, in September it received a rebranding which also introduced a subscription that unlocks a number of premium features. And, starting today until November 29, you will be able to purchase one for 50 percent off.

But, what exactly does the subscription include? You get read receipts, snooze, send later, undo send, sender profile, connected apps as the main perks. Read receipts are particularly useful, as you can see if the sender has read that important email, and so is sender profile, which shows information about the sender based on things like social media presence.

And how much does it cost? A Newton subscription normally runs for $49.99 a year, but during the aforementioned period it will be available for $24.99 per year -- or $2 per month. That is a much sweeter offer from my point of view, and one that might prove to be very popular with prospective customers.

Newton is currently available on Android, iOS and macOS, but there is also a Windows app in the pipeline. The subscription is tied to your Newton account, so you will be able to take advantage of the benefits on all of your devices.
