Email - Edison Mail 4+

My favourite email app

I’ve used a number of different email apps on my iPhone but couldn’t find one that had everything I was looking for - ie customising where you go after archiving an email (to next email or back to the list); using an in-app browser rather than always going to the separate browser; opening up a really long newsletter email without having to choose separately to load the whole message after getting halfway through; and being very pleasing to the eye. Other apps had some of these but not all (Spark was the closest as it had the functionality but I just didn’t like the way the inbox looked, with the font and spacing). I’m so glad I found Edison mail, as it has everything I was after, in one app. Nicely done.

:(

Ever since your update to implement your freemium features more aggressively, Edison regularly slows down, freezes and even crashes to home screen. This app isn’t much use if I can’t compose a message or read my incoming mail... sometimes I have to force close the app and restart it, and even then it struggles. I don’t know what you added on that’s running in the background now but it’s making the performance suffer and really doesn’t make me want to spend any money. Sorry, I loved your workflow but I’m going to have to find a different app (somehow). Thank you sincerely for all the years of functionality and for being a privacy friendly 3P email client.

Edit: Support contacted me soon after I left the review, and suggested I delete the app and it’s data, then reinstall fresh. I appreciate the response. I did so! I was hoping it would resolve the issue. I then used the app normally for another few weeks. Unfortunately this still seems to be happening... I’m not sure what’s going on in the background of the app causing this. My iPhone is not the newest model, but I can seem to run many apps without a problem. Just not an email client? :(

Hi chooooioioiooooooo, there are likely other things contributing to these issues, our paid features actually have nothing to do with app speed or issues you've reported.

If the issue persists, instead of responding here, please reply to your last support message with us and let us know the problem continues, along with a screenshot of the space available on your iOS device, as well as a list of all connected accounts. If you can, a screen recording of the app performing slowly would help as well, thanks!

Thoroughly Impressed!

I don’t often write reviews but I feel as though this app is worth one, for good reason, it’s awesome! I’ve used various different email apps and was quite content with using MS outlook, but I thought I’d give this one a go purely out of curiosity. Lets say I haven’t looked back.

I was blown away by how smart it was. As a frequent traveller, having all the itineraries automatically appear in one location along with the relevant email was very handy! Having receipts in all one place will be a huge time saver when I do my tax return and it even puts package tracking all in one place. I can’t recommend this app enough. I’ve already raved about it to my friends and work colleagues. Keep up the hard work guys, you’re making a difference!
