1. 5/5Great app. Clans out your huge email folder.

   It’s so easy to use and has cut out all my unwanted emails. If you’re like me and get hundreds of junk emails daily, then download CleanFox. The first time you use it expect it to take Several minutes but it’s super quick from then on. There’s a box and it will say who the email is from. You swipe left to delete it. Swiping left will delete all the emails from that sender in one swipe and from then on any emails from that sender will go into your junk email folder. Swipe right to keep it and all the emails from that sender will to come in as new mail. Swipe up to delete the emails from that sender but continue to get new emails from that sender. You do one swipe and that’s it. From then on you will either see or not see the future emails depending on what you chose. Dont worry you don’t have to remember which way to swipe, it tells you with each new box. I used to get hundreds of emails that I didn’t want and the important ones would get lost in the shuffle. Now the junk goes into the junk and I only see emails that are important to me. After the first round of swipes you’re pretty much done but I go into the app every so often and do some More swipes they have waiting for me. Long review but it’s so easy.

2. 5/5Great - two UX things…

   Works well (thus, the 5 stars). I do have two issues to mention on the UX side. (1) on the “reverse action” screen, there is not an ability to sort. This makes finding the mistake you made impossible. Items have no logic to how they are ordered - it’s not by alpha, it’s not by date and mailboxes are mixed. This should be an easy feature that would make this experience significantly better. As a result of this issue, I will either need to spend a lot of time finding my mistake, or we’ll now miss important messages from my kids’ school. (2) the contact us button required the mail app. Ideally, the user should be able to just copy the email and then go to whatever mail application they use. I would normally write support about the first issue. But, I don’t want to reinstall mail (I use the gmail app).

3. 1/5Waste of time

   I have no idea how this app has so many “5 star” reviews. I spent a few hours filtering through all the newsletters and at the end my stats said it would delete 35k emails and get rid of over 1k newsletters. After 4-5 days nothing seemed to change in my inbox so I reached out to support to ask if I needed to do anything else with my gmail account to give the app access so it could clean my inbox, and I got a canned response from the FAQ that it may take several days…yes I read the FAQ before reaching out that’s why I waited to ask for help! So I followed up again asking if 5+ days is normal, and how can I tell that it’s working? Will there by filters in my gmail account? Again I got a canned response from the FAQ that said they can only clean newsletters…cool that wasn’t my question. I turned off the foxintelligence settings but I still feel dumb for sharing so much info with this company. Also considering they can’t unsubscribe you, only send the emails to trash (I guess for people it actually worked for) it would be nice if you could download the list of companies that send you newsletters so you can go actually unsubscribe to them, otherwise they’ll just add you to new newsletters as they create new campaigns. Great idea, really awful execution and even worse support. Don’t waste your time, don’t believe the 5 star reviews.

4. 3/5Missing one key element

   Works great overall but it’s missing an option to keep current emails but unsubscribe to the newsletter. The only options that I can see are: (1) delete all emails from a newsletter unsubscribe, (2) delete all emails from a newsletter and stay subscribed or (3) keep everything and stay subscribed. If you choose a delete option, the app will delete EVERY email from that sender, even if you have some important ones in a folder that you want to save. For example, I’ve made purchases from a company and have receipts saved in a folder but if I no longer want to receive the emails from that company and if I use CleanFox to unsubscribe, it’ll delete the important receipts that I have saved. Why not have an option to keep the saved emails you want to keep but unsubscribe from future emails? Missing this feature renders the app pretty much useless to me since I still have to go in and manually unsubscribe from newsletters that I want to keep past emails from but don’t want anymore future emails. I hope that makes sense. Looking forward to hopefully seeing that feature in the future.

5. 1/5Works great one time

   Deceiving you makes you believe that it will continue to monitor your mailbox diligently and, like unroll me used to do and has also lately completely been a fail, makes you believe that on a daily basis you will open this app and continue to sort through all this junk mail until eventually you will have a clean and sleek mail experience. Epic fail. It’s a one hit wonder. Works, sort of, one time and then asks for a quick 5 star rating. You’ve been suckered. Those emails aren’t even actually removed from your mailbox. The promise of unsubscribing you? A total joke. It literally made absolutely no difference in my mailbox other than, having started with yahoo, it moved legit emails that I swiped to keep- it moved everything to junk and deleted my entire mailbox. Because my gmail, frustrating as it is, does not have a delete all oprion when you select all, was spared. But literally nothing was done. Other that some mail I wanted moved to junk, very luckily not deleted. Do not use this app. False promises and I’ve lost emails probably of great importance. Shame on these developers. Epic fail.
