Relief from Email Inbox Overload Comes to iPhone and Android Users with Chookka Communication AppThe battle against email inbox overload just took a big step forward thanks to Chookka, a conversation platform that helps people communicate smarter. The solution is now available for iPhone and Android (News - Alert) mobile devices, and includes other new features to help facilitate more organized communications. Chookka simplifies and organizes communication for groups and teams that frequently collaborate online, while you continue using your email program where it makes sense, such as for short ephemeral or non-collaborative communication. Chookka gives you the option to communicate within the application or from your existing email, providing functionalities of the application directly in your regular email program:
The platform is now available for iPhone (News - Alert) and Android mobile devices to help mobile users seamlessly stay connected and communicate with team members no matter where they are. Chookka also now includes several new integrations and capabilities:
By focusing on the challenges that businesses face using email to communicate, Chookka solves four key problems most people experience:
"Chookka brings significant benefits to the industries that need to communicate almost constantly both internally an externally with employees, clients and vendors," said Yves Schabes, co-founder of Chookka. "We're seeing that tech-savvy professionals who are open to utilizing new technologies, such as web designers and video game developers, find that Chookka improves their communication flow and supports better collaboration." In a software category that is heating up due to the pervasive feeling that the 40+ year old technology of email no longer meets the needs of groups and teams focused on collaboration, Chookka was developed for employees who have on-going communication needs that are not adequately being met by email today, without the dense features of an enterprise solution. Chookka appeals to many industries including start-ups and creative companies such as Silent Legends and Clever Creative, both based in the Los Angeles area who have been using Chookka for several months.

"Chookka represents the future of the conversation where the art of the reply is simple, efficient and integrated across multiple platforms."
