4/5Great mail app for privacy focused individuals
This application gets a lot of things right. The service blocking trackers is a wonderful future that is welcomed for someone like me who values their privacy. There are some things that the app is missing that I hope there are added in the future. The ability to choose which maps opens when you click on an address would be great. Also being able to add an email address from a third-party service through the application would be wonderful as well, instead of having to go through the website on a browser to add the email. I do also wish that there were more customization options for the layout of the app. As well as selection of colors. I like that there is a dark mode however, I wish there was an actual dark mode option for OLED screens. these are more of quality of life improvements than things that are needed in the app however, I think that the app itself and the functions and services are provides are more than adequate and definitely worth the price. EDIT: Apparently you can a third party email to this service, but only if you’re paying for a business account… If you’re paying a premium for this service that should come as a given, not something locked behind a larger paywall.

4/5Still needs features of other clients
The ProtonMail app works very well for what it does. However, it’s still lacks some fairly basic features that would make its usability even better. The first feature that I would like to see, is that when you read and then delete an email, the app automatically takes you to your next email. Maybe this feature includes a switch inside of the settings, so that you can turn the feature on and off as needed. The current operation is that once you read and delete an email, that takes you back to the email list. This current method of operation really creates a lot of extra clicks. The second feature needed is the ability to filter on an email address. I have multiple protonmail email addresses and they ALL show up under one inbox. The whole idea of having multiple email addresses is to be able to use them for different purposes. If I have one address that collects important emails, it would be nice to be able to filter, or otherwise view, just those important emails and not every email received. I know both of these feature requests have been kicking around the internet for years. But, I’m still hopeful that they might be implemented. I like having a secure, encrypted email system such as protonmail. However, using it could be made easier with some tweaks. Thanks. T UPDATE: The first feature requested above exists on the app. It is a bit buried in the account menus but can be found by navigating to “settings” > “account settings” > “Jump to next email” and toggle that feature on. Thanks. T

5/5Unexpectedly Great!
This mail client is awesome, it’s free and it’s really free. The upgrade plan isn’t necessary nor required for full functionality of the app. Most products on the App Store that are free have a hidden catch or cripple the free version unless you pay a subscription. Yes Proton has paid subscription to upgrade the storage options but for most individual users what they give you is plenty and if you need more than they give you then you should maybe think about how you use email as a person because 1gb is plenty for mail, if you need more then you most likely are using your mail client for something other than mail or you are too lazy to keep your mail cleaned out. The proton vpn, which is also free and unlimited usage, however the paid plan for the vpn is needed in order to pick your own exit node country. All in all the suite is great and even on macos or windows you can download the “electron” mail app and use it as an open source client for desktop use. It’s just not the official app, however it is transparent in the coding and is basically the webui with some custom css implemented in order to give you a free ui to proton. The only down side to all of this is you can’t just use proton with your favorite mail app. However I’m personally very content with my setup! Highly recommended and very secure!

1/5Trash
I’ve been trying to use Proton mail for about a week now. So far it’s been a nightmare. Their system won’t allow you to receive verification emails when you try to switch your services over, unless you add a recover email and phone number. The problem with this is, there extremely long and confusing instructions to do so are out dated and no longer match what you see when you’re in their system. So it’s a labyrinth. One in which I have yet to solve. Additionally, support is not only worthless, but rude as well. When you reach out for help, they’ll say something along the lines of “well, did you follow the directions?” No. I did not. Because the directions are outdated and inaccurate. Lastly, the whole platform is clunky, inefficient and not intuitive at all. At this point in time, I’m leaning to find a different/better service and believe the ratings on the App Store are forgeries. Update: I don’t “feel” this way. These are the facts. No, it wasn’t one particular service. It was all services that require you to verify your email address change. If I can’t receive the emails, I can’t verify the change. Way to make it easy to adopt your product. I gave up. Deleted my account. What’s the point in having an email if you can’t use it for everything?? Therefore, I no longer have access to any ticket numbers. Provide a private chat option and I’d be happy to share the email address in question.

3/5Bad update
So, I’ve been using this app for close to, if not over a decade, and it’s largely been fantastic. It’s still probably the best email service imo, but the last update is creating significant irritation. First, they moved the compose button from the top right to the bottom right. Even knowing that, I still struggle to find it and wonder where it went at times. They also made it hover over whatever box you’re in, so if you have a habit of looking down your whole inbox before scrolling, it gets in the way of things. That second part is a minor quibble, but I *hate* it so much. It’s wildly distracting and ugly. Bigger issue though is the broken “load image” button. At first it was just gone , but now it just doesn’t work 100%. I appreciate the effort to block trackers and I still want that, a lot of emails I don’t need to see the images, but I’m a collector and I have several websites I’ve used for decades, I need to be able to see the images in their links and I’m ok with letting *those specific sites* use trackers (do I like that they do it? No. But I am willing to settle). Now I’m lucky if even half the images load *after* pressing the load images button. It’s just really frustrating and distracting. I used to love proton mail, I’ve never gotten unwanted spam since switching. But these are big irritations that came uninvited. Whatever happened to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?”
