Ratings and reviews

Quite satisfied with the app. Seems secure enough, while at the same time being convenient. I have a few complaints, though: the interface can be a bit sluggish at times, and the app sometimes brings up a notification with a loading bar that does nothing, and won't go away until I remove it.

New email notifications stop working after a while. I have to turn the apps notifications off and back on to get them working again. Notifications are still in 24h instead of 12h. The zoom capabilities are poor. I have to double tap to zoom but it barely zooms. This is a problem because QR codes or any scannable barcodes are to small to be scanned.

A little sluggish and a little non-intuitive when deleting emails. Nonetheless, it has almost all the capabilities as the desktop browser equivalent. My issues are with the notification service. I will sometimes get push notifications for new emails, even after I open and read the emails. Doesn't matter if I rad them via the app or desktop site. Also, I am not a fan of the way emails are viewed. There is no zoom capability and the way it goes to the next email after deleting an email. Otherwise, this is still a great alternative to most email providers.
