1. 5/5Massive Improvements from 2020 and Before

   As the years have passed, outlook has consistently improved to a point that I am recommending its use to all my friends and family. While nothing is ever perfect and can always be improved I think it’s important note the quality, service, and features that have been implemented as of late. As one of the largest tech companies, Microsoft is poised to shape the industry and oh boy has it ever. I am in love with the ability of end user to finally report phishing attempts and other emails for different categories on mobile and desktop finally! I wish we could setup and manage rules from mobile but perhaps that’s something coming in the future. Outlook still, despite the lack of a few minor things, sits atop the rest in my opinion, ease of use and operation is highly scoring for me and I believe this is something that should be advertised to the populous. It’s very effective with its protections and sometimes maybe too over zealous with junk classification but that’s okay because it’s simply resolved through marking as not junk which will ad them to safe senders. I love the unsubscribe feature and many others that I can’t remember right now. The only thing I’m really missing and haven’t quite figured it out yet is how to install extensions to the new outlook, such as my antivirus from BitDefender/NETGEAR which should scan inbound and outbound emails and be an add-in. Over all the product itself is great!!! Highly recommended

2. 4/5Good but could use improvement

   Hi, I am a totally blind iOS. User of your app along with VoiceOver and dictation. I found the Apple dictation does not always play nicely. Sometimes our messages are repeated multiple times over and over in blocks of text. Other times sentences are moved around from place to place. Also, as far as Outlook goes, I have real trouble getting the body of the email to behave so that I can do what I need to do either with dictation or a Bluetooth keyboard. Part of this is on my end, but also part of it. The Outlook is clunky. Putting the sand button at the top of the screen when the phone is in portrait mode or making it to the side when it is in landscape mode makes it difficult. It was great where it was. When I hold the phone in portrait mode, which is how I use it, I have to swipe back through the body of the message taking a risk on moving text or from the cursor, I have to then swipe through the subject and the address is to and from, etc., and up to the top to press that button and I miss it or hit the wrong thing. I destroyed my message and have to begin again. Quite frustrating to say the least. Also was very dissatisfied when he took Cortana away. That was a big help to me. I was even working with a tech guy on some things with you all. Would’ve been really nice to keep that and or now if we could figure out how to make the ChatGPT or some AI allow voice command to read and send email. That would be a blessing. Thank you for reading this and I hope you I hope that you give it the attention that it deserves. As a blind person, whether using gestures or keyboard commands using this app is clunky.

3. 4/5Really good for the most part

   The Outlook iPhone app has really saved me and my office and helped us transition to a work-from-home environment really smoothly, and I am forever grateful for how easy the app is to use. It takes almost no time to fetch new mail, and is very intuitive, as far as offering quick replies and suggestions for where to move messages. That being said, I have a few minor issues with the app. Could just be a bug on my phones, but I’ve never been able to get notifications for the app (push, badges, nor sounds). I thought it was just my iPhone 7 that was preventing the app from showing notifications, but now I have the 12 pro and still see no options to turn on notifications (within the app, nor my phone’s notification settings). The search feature is also not the best within the app. I’ll have an email I know I sent, yet I type in a keyword in the app and nothing comes up. I have to go on my computer to find it. I think it also stops searching messages from more than a few months before, or maybe has a cap as to how many search results it can yield. A little frustrating but not the end of the world. Lastly, the way the folders are set up is kind of annoying. I wish the folder menu could be hidden as it has been grouped together when I created the folders. For example, to get to my sent folder, I have to scroll all the way down past all the folders I’ve created within my inbox. On the computer, I would be able to expand every folder if I wanted, or keep all the subfolders hidden if I choose. The app does not allow you to do that. Again, not huge issues. Just could be better.

4. 3/5Adequate product

   In looking through other reviews, I noticed several, many, reviews that stated how bad the product was but that showed 5 star ratings. ????? It is frustrating to sit and wait several seconds to have my inbox loaded each time I select outlook on iOS. I have reviewed settings and see no correction for that. Am I downloading messages online each time data wise? When moving a message from inbox, it would be nice to have predictive folders shown as on the desktop. I have three major folders that get a lot of messages and it is a frustration to scroll all over each time. My spouse uses Apple Calendar on her phone and we have trouble she invites me on an appointment. I have tried to clear that up but can’t. I would prefer the calendar app to be separate from the email to use in separate windows. Handling and setting up groups for emails is frustrating on all platforms. As I am now retired, I have no great operational demands that Mail can’t handle so I might just go back to that. Dropping MS Office would certainly save some money. The app is not “Bad”, just adequate. Certainly, it is no joy to use but does not cause too much pain-except for that one group of about ten days of email that was lost. Never found those suckers. 🚀 Update: 9/13 Still simply adequate. I have approached my host to find out if I can move all mail from outlook to Mail.

5. 5/5Not really as good as web/Mac apps

   The email functions in this app are mostly fine. It is the calendar that is lacking. There is no option to categorize (color-code). Furthermore, even if you use web/desktop/Mac to set up the events (so that you can categorize), the colors don’t show up the same in the iPad app!! They still show up as colors… just not always the same ones. For example, I currently am using blue, green, red, and orange to color-code. For whatever reason, the red events are pink on the iPad and the blue events are red. The iPhone app’s category colors are the same as the ones on the iPad (which are not the ones I actually chose). Ridiculous. Also, on all other platforms if you schedule a multi-day event and set status as “free”, the event only shows up at the top, same as an “all-day” event (and this is what I would expect and want). But on the iPad app, it shows up at the top AND it shows up down below for the first and last day. Obviously that makes no sense. The iPhone app is, once again, exactly the same. Switching the view to “agenda” fixes this issue, but “agenda” view on the iPad wastes over half the screen (on the iPhone, however, it’s actually the best view in my opinion - and it’s the default). All in all, using this app is a frustrating experience and so I have been reverting to using the web app on my iPad. On my iPhone, however, the web app is highly impractical and so I just get confused until I remember that Microsoft can’t make the colors you select actually appear on the screen.

1. 5/5

   I like using Outlook for both personal and business accounts. I like that I have a focused inbox that separates the important emails from the general automatically.

2. 1/5

   I've had the same email address since I moved to my home in 1999 using dial-up. I needed to read some documents from my email at the library. Now all of a sudden instead of getting the box to type my password, I'm told I need another email address to log in. This is BS. please chang it back so I can log in. some emails are hard to read off my cellphone.
