- benjarrell 11y agoI'm still using Sunrise to this day, is there an announcement about it being discontinued?
- rodgerd 11y agoApparently so: http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/10/microsoft-announces-plans-to-discontinue-the-popular-sunrise-calendar-app http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/10/microsoft-announces-plans... (Unwelcome) news to me.
- torbit 11y agoso Sunrise gets sunset :)
- blairbeckwith 11y agoI had to look for this too: http://blog.sunrise.am http://blog.sunrise.am
- nikolay 11y agoStartups beware: If you care about your products, not just about the exit, don't let yourself get acquired by Dropbox!
- RyJones 11y agoI think you can almost stop that at the word acquired. I loved pre-acquisition FolderShare. After Microsoft bought them, FolderShare was mashed into a bunch of aborted projects that sucked.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoUsers beware: just ignore startups altogether. A hot startup is a vehicle for converting user growth into money for the founders and investors. It does not exist to create and maintain a good product. It's fine to tag along for a ride; it's not good to make yourself dependent on its continued existence.
- dawson 11y agoSunrise is [being] integrated into Microsoft Outlook, I think.
- tyre 11y agoLocking it into a Microsoft product can be seen as the same as discontinuation.
- robwilliams 11y agoIt supports the same email types that Sunrise did. Disclaimer: MS employee, nothing to do with Outlook though.
- robwilliams 11y agoWasn't Sunrise renamed Outlook on iOS? I have Outlook on my iPhone and it looks the same as the screenshot in the below discontinuation announcement...
- mynameisvlad 11y agoAccompli was renamed Outlook and then functionality from Sunrise was added in recently when they announced the sunset.
