Along with its Google Plus app, Google is shutting down Google Inbox on the same day, joining Allo and tons of other apps in the Google App Graveyard
that its Allo app would be moving on to the great beyond, a purgatory for apps that only live on in our very short memories. Allo never found a foothold with users, trying to compete in a crowded communication market dominated by Facebook products, Snapchat disappearing messages and more secure apps like Signal and Telegram. It was dead the second it put too much thought intoGoogle Inbox, for all its fancy UI, never lived up to the hype.
The shuttering of Google Inbox, Allo and Google+ shouldn't really come as much surprise to users. Only the most successful Google Apps realize their full potential of long life. The rest are used up for their features and quickly filed away in a dark server somewhere deep beneath the Earth.
Each app, besides things like Google Nexus Q that never saw the light of day outside of developer conferences, had its dedicated and eventually dismayed user base. The same could be said for Google Inbox, an app loved by few, but ignored by many. That's just how it goes with Google apps, either proving the case for constant innovation or constant disappointment, depending on how early an adapter each user is.
