Ratings and reviews

Tutanota is very reliable and simple to use. The emphasis on privacy is why I chose this provider. Thank you, Tutanota! That being said, end-to-end encryption requires agreed on passwords for each recipient. I find that my most frequent correspondents don't want to do that. I have one complaint only. It is that, in the desktop version, attachments cannot be opened or previewed directly from the app, but must be downloaded. I really don't like that! Hope they will change it.

Awful inconsistencies with every Android update (sic)! Features disappear and are broken. For example, if you focus away from a draft message & try to return to it, the draft msg has disappeared! Insert picture into msg feature was added, then was removed! Android ver. is not at all as robust or reliable as Windows version! :-( Up: Whoever responded to my review clearly does NOT know the Android version! Both of my comments ARE true. If that was an Android dev, no wonder the app is messed up!!

Now when I hit reply on an email and it opens up a new reply page, the page automatically jumps down to the bottom of the original email, and not staying atop the whole thing to reply. When I scroll back up to the reply section (like any email is supposed to do), it will automatically jump back down again. Even if I stay typing quickly, the slightest split second pause in typing and it jumps back down. Makes it impossible to reply. Fix this issue. App is updated etc.
