Yahoo Mail - Organized Email 17+

Wonderful Mail App (IMO!)

Seeing a lot of bad reviews recently and so far, I’d have to say the opposite of them. I recently within the year switched from gmail to yahoo due to my name and email availability and I’ve been quite pleased. I recently subscribed to the yahoo app and I enjoy it quite a bit! The personalization is great. Organization is fantastic. And unlike a lot of people, I’ve been receiving and sending emails perfectly fine. I use two emails as a main and a shopping and I love that you can easily attach both, but keep them separated. Attachments show, and also (unlike most mail apps I’ve used) my signature actually shows and stays. I’ve also tested it and unlike Outlook, which I just came from, Yahoo ACTUALLY unsubscribes you from emails. I know this because I still have my old gmails currently while I switch everything over, and things I unsubscribed from on my Yahoo, I get on my gmail. So happy that feature works! I also get notifications that I do have mail, which is also one thing iOS mail and Outlook failed to do sometimes. For notes: I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, newly updated to iOS 16.
Although I wish this app was free, because before purchase, I do agree - the ads were quite annoying! It really is a great mail app. Definitely beats out the iOS one and I’ve been an apple user for a decade!

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the kind review! We will definitely share this with our team. AS for the bad reviews, we don't really see anything except for the time we had spam issues. We actually have an average star rating of 4.6+ which is better than our competitors! 😊

Great app one small flaw

I like this app I have no problems with its functionality. Perhaps others should update it if having functional issues. One thing that would make it perfect in my opinion (thus deserving of 5 stars) is if one had the ability to change the sound that is used for notifications of new mail received. I tried doing so in both phone settings and in app settings to no avail. One of the main reasons I switched to this app instead of using the Mail app in iOS was because for the last month or so (maybe longer) the iOS Mail app was not receiving pushed mail from Yahoo. It was before because I paid for that ability from Yahoo (paid so that POP mail would be supported). I guess Yahoo decided to stop that service or make it slow or whatever maybe to push (no pun intended) their own Mail app. It's fine. I'm not too disappointed. (I will be stopping payments for that though) Anyway, like I wrote, the main reason I got the app was so I could get mail as it's pushed to the server and now that's happening again. But the sound is too much like other notifications (like Tweet notifications and calendar reminders) so I can't tell by sound alone what just occurred on my phone. The sound is too much like other notifications in other words. So if we could change that notification sound that would be awesome. It would make the app perfect, IMO. I already submitted this as feedback in the app but I thought I'd write a review about it as well.

Doesn't Allow Scrolling

When you try to advance to new emails further down the scrolling section of emails in the Inbox, Spam folders as well as your own created folders the app automatically scrolls up enlarging the scroll bar as it advances back up on its own making it 100% impossible to scroll down to any and all emails that are off the screen and thus further down. The only way to get to them is to go to Full Screen View on one email and using the arrows to advance down to earlier previous emails.

Because of this it makes this app 100% impossible to use and thus really not worth any Stars whatsoever. Especially since this problem has been going on for months (since well into 2018) and all Feedback complaining about it has been ignored and it's only gotten worse with each update to this app. It used to only effect the Spam folder, then it also affected Created Folders and the Archives folder and most recently it's been effecting the Inbox as well.

Thus with each time the problem has made the Yahoo Email App 100% impossible to use and requiring going to Safari or a Computer to get it to actually work right. With Yahoo also ignoring Feedback on this problem for months and not fixing it in any update this app is 100% NOT WORTH IT!
