Ratings and reviews

20220919 - Update: Dark mode is broken again. All text is a shade lighter than the black background making reading virtually impossible. Can you please fix this? I use the app for work, standard issue. One thing that is broken is the Dark Mode. When reading a message, as I scroll the message a black block obscures the rest of the message. I have to shrink the text to tony (pinch/zoom) to remove the Dark block block. Can this be fixed?!

Keeps glitching & kicking me out! This started after the last update. While reading emails, the app kicks me out, then says, "Connection suspended. Log in to resume." Also, when I attempt to create or reply to an email, it glitches & kicks me out. Even after repeatedly signing back in, it's not letting me respond to, or create, emails! Very frustrating!

After the last update, the widget isn't updating as new emails come through (instead it shows emails from yesterday). The developer suggested deleting and re-adding, which didn't help. Also, and this is a huge deal, emails that I open but then mark unread often remain "read" on my outlook account on my desktop. Not ideal... Creates a strong disincentive to open any emails on bb Work.
