Twobird for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not too shabby but...Why can’t I select and copy/paste text from an email body?.Version: 1.0.0
✓ So much potential but still skeletalSo much potential but missing important touches that would actually make it a valuable and differentiated email app. For example, you can neatly organize emails with labels e.g. to manage projects, but still after 2 years you can’t add a note or task into that label so you have everything in one place for the project. Total facepalm how could they not think of this.. Also tasks and notes should be more differentiated and it would be nice to have a few more tools tailored to tasks like repeating and a calendar view or timeline view to visualize what’s coming due soon. Seems like development has stallled. I had high hopes but still leaves a lot to be desired..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Good App…butNice email program with good features but I don’t know why developers don’t make it easy to eliminate the hundreds or thousands of spam emails invading our email programs.. would be very useful and easy to program a feature to search email program and sort by numbers of emails sent by sender in descending order.. for instance if you see a sender has sent 150 emails to you it would be nice to click once and have all of those senders emails deleted and blocked along with unsubscribing. Seems really simple..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Conceptually cool but actions don’t lastI’ve been looking for a task-based inbox and I think I found it with Twobird! Except it’s not working for me. When I mark an email as done it disappears, as intended, but it will reappear in my inbox a few seconds later, usually after I’ve read another email and returned to the inbox. Also, in the action bar at the bottom of emails the icons for Create a Task and Mark as Done flicker back and forth. At first I thought the Mark as Done only showed when I scrolled to the bottom of the page (which conceptually could make sense) but then it would flicker back to Create a Task. So to mark it as done, I need to go back to the inbox and swipe? I’ll wait for a bug fix and try again because I like what I see beyond these issues!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ What disappointing piece of softwareDon’t waste your time! Tried responding as suggested via your support email address, that didn’t work either, besides, I have had extensive discussions at the time I was trying TB with “someone” who failed to replicate the issues I just gave up trying to assist..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Can’t really review it when the app doesn’t workThey’ve implemented the ability to login via Microsoft Outlook yet every time I try to log on (meaning I press the button when you first open the app to add your Microsoft account) it comes up with an error message saying to contact TwoBird support. No matter how much I update the app or reinstall this will happen, and I have reached out to support via email and they’ve yet to really solve my issue (they finally got back to me and asked me if I would update the app to see if that fixed it, it didn’t and I told them that and they have yet to respond). Would love to be able to use this app but it’s basic functionality is broken from the get-go for me..Version: 3.1.0
✓ 2 Star RatingI found the app quite confusing to navigate. The instructions were a little advanced (for someone who can speak fluent English), and it was overall kind of overwhelming? Great app idea though!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Not ready for thisMy email MO is Inbox Zero. This app doesn’t really help me do that. I love the markdown and built in notes. But the absolute deal breaker for me was the search: it wasn’t just weak it was not there at all. I love notability through and through and use it daily. For now I NEED Spark for my email..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Only supports google accountsThis app has a lot of potential, shame that it only supports google accounts. I have non google email accounts I would like to add.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Needs to support outlook/office signatures and then it’s usableGreat app over all. It seems to be able to use my gmail signatures but not anything from an office365/outlook account..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Only GmailLooks an interesting idea and a good looking app. Shame it doesn’t support iCloud or Office365 and nothing to say that it ever will support other mail providers. Also it would be great to integrate with Notability and be able to send my notes/PDFs from the app. Will keep an eye on development and hopefully start using it more..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Really wanted it to workThe app does everything it says—when it works. I installed it about a month ago and it worked brilliantly for the first week. Then the latest iOS update rolled out & twobird has been glitching ever since. At first it was usable, mainly had to refresh my priority inbox. The latest iOS patch caused the app to not even stay open & active. I need to completely close the app from background, then navigate to the App Library & scroll through to open it from there, and even then it doesn’t load my latest emails, just the cached priority ones. Gave 3 stars because there’s serious potential for the developers to turn this around. Also because I did not actually reach out to them outside of this review, which is on me & not the app or dev’s. Please fix the app!!!! I want to keep it as my email app but need to find a replacement for now..Version: 2.1.4
✓ For Gmail, not emailThe marketing for this product is misleading. This product is only for Google’s “Gmail” product, not for email in general..Version: 1.3.0
✓ They abandoned itExcellent idea, well executed, but no update since >1 year. No customer service, written twice to them without any returns. No update, no security patch, no development. What a shame from this team really. An excellent product completely left for dead. Make a basic free app and please add subscription for those who want more.Version: 3.2.0
✓ I wanted to love it, but it’s not readyI used the app with my work Gmail and work Office accounts (two companies merged),and while I could see the promise, there were way too many gotchas to be productive. Drafts disappeared. Calendar items simply didn’t show up in the Twobird view of my calendars. (Sometimes they did if I closed the app and restarted.) But most frustrating was their attempt to force me to change my workflow. I’m not going to change my notes app. I’m not going to change my reminders. Frankly, the Twobird interface was cluttered with their vision of how they wanted me to work, and I couldn’t figure out how fo get rid of their stuff..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Excellent Email Client Minus a few FeaturesI have found Twobird to be an excellent email client for gmail. I really love that notes, reminders, and calendar are all built into one place. I also love the true black dark-mode that TwoBird provides over gmails dark-mode which is more of a dark brown mixed with a little grey than an actual true black. I also like the unsubscribe button built right into the app that will either immediately unsubscribe you from emails or will take you straight to the unsubscribe page for what ever website your you are trying to unsubscribe from. The one basic feature that I still switch back to the regular gmail app for is the ability to select multiple emails at the same time and move them to their respective folders. If this basic feature would come to this app, it would become my default email client of choice..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Worked great for a few months….I liked this app a lot, then in recent months I stopped getting notifications on my phone, which are important for my job. I tried reaching out to support and they don’t even respond. Probably going to have to move to a new app. Update: after a month or so of back and fourth emails trying to solve the issue, Ginger Lab support just stopped responding. Guess the notification issue is something they don’t care to fix. I think previous reviews are right, this app is promising: however, it’s been promising for 2 years and at this point it just doesn’t work. Moving my rating to 1 star..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Must sign in with GoogleThere is only the option to sign in with Google. :(.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Has potential but falls short hardI like the additional options this app says it offers however it is lacking in clearly identifying where things are going. I tried to delete a bunch of emails and it says it archived them. You can filter emails but cannot select all filtered emails to delete them. I used the ‘unsubscribe’ feature but it doesn’t really unsubscribe you- it moves them to a folder for unsubscribed emails and bypasses your inbox. This app promises a lot with smoke and mirrors but it fails to deliver. I will be uninstalling and not recommending this..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Simple design, poor functionalityI love the design of the app. Simple, clean, modern. However the functionality is poor. Can’t even handle basic receiving of messages. I didn’t get notifications for 50%+ of my emails, and didn’t even see them in my inbox. It has a super aggressive “not important” filter that you can’t change. So just doesn’t tell you about most of your emails. It’s also starts creating all these Labels in Gmail automatically that you can’t turn off. Imagine having “twobird/not important” on every single one of you emails in your inbox. I tried to delete the label then it just keeps adding it back..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Promising But Not Quite ThereThe UI and concept are fantastic, allowing users to truly manage their e-mails with schedule sends and the whole idea of e-mail as a “to-do list.” But some things are not quite production-ready, like e-mail organization. For Microsoft accounts, Twobird cannot discover subfolders. For Google accounts, Twobird finds subfolders but they turn into awful path strings that users can’t really read. For now, I’ll have to pass on Twobird because subfolders are important to me. But I’ll be back after the developers refine it a little more..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Crashes AlotGreat app when it works but it will randomly go through bouts of crashing for no reason which go on for ages and you can’t even open the app.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Meh. Lots of room for improvementNavigation is a mess and I often have to restart the app to get to the main navigation window. Only one swipe directions and there is only one option that can be specified. No way to delete a message accessed via the recent list. Overall I like the concept but this is a really really beta app. I’m glad it’s free because if I had paid for this I would have asked for a refund. Having the calendar and to do list plus notes available in one interface is great. But having a different markup language for formatting is annoying and something I’ll end up never taking advantage of because I won’t remember it..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Look CLOSELYYeah, uh, this can’t be a good thing: “Grant Twobird permission to see, edit, download, and PERMANENTLY DELETE YOUR CONTACTS” Eh... I don’t think so. Deleted..Version: 0.1.1
✓ Not too bad for v1Good, clean, but... Would love to be able to - further customise Swipe - open PDFs with iOS native markup - open .pkpass files - option to disable notes, to-dos, mail conversations independently - see all attachments by-contact - have user account icons downloaded for me - work with accounts other than google.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Needs other providersUpdate: Added Microsoft support, but still no general IMAP or even iCloud support. For that reason I’ve dropped my score from 4 to 3 stars. This is a wonderful app with lots of promise. However, it needs support for providers other than Google to be useable—at minimum iCloud but ideally a general IMAP/CalDAV/CardDAV option. I trust this app but I’d rather not trust Google. If you only use Google products, this is perfect for you..Version: 3.0.4
✓ So Much Promise. So Much Missing.I would like to start by saying that I would recommend anyone at least give this app a download and a try. That said, there are still plenty of missing features I would hope to see in an app that is so mature. For instance, Microsoft Outlook signatures don’t port over despite the promise of the feature coming in the summer of last year. For this reason, I can’t really use this as a replacement to outlook in the way I might like. The strongest thing that this app has going for it, in my opinion is the UI. It resembles Things in its layout and simplicity. I like but don’t love the “make my inbox a to-do list” function for the simple fact that done doesn’t seem to archive the messages, and I would love the ability to mark something as read or done and archive while still keeping the “hide read emails” options. If I don’t go with the to-do list layout format for my mail box, then I can’t sort out only unread mail which should honestly be a day one feature. This app has the potential to be my very favorite email app, but there is such an emphasis placed on making the user triage their email the way that this app thinks you should and very little room to adjust..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Looks promising, needs workReally like the look of the application, but keeps crashing on launch. Hopefully they sort out the niggles..Version: 1.0.3
✓ You have to deactivate account to remove from listAs a test I setup two gmail account that I’ve been using for years. Just to play with the app. I then wanted to remove one account from being tracked in the app. When I try to remove it says account will be quote “deactivated”. I interpret this to mean the account will be deactivated as in turned off , not simply removed from Two Bird. I want to continue to use the account, I just don’t want to view it with TwoBird. If it really does deactivate that is HORRIBLE!!! If it doesn’t and really means just take off the TB list then what a terrible choice of a word!! I’m now stuck with this app accessing that account and scared to remove if it really does deactivate the account. So instead I just removed the entire app. Goodbye..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Sooo much potentialI really want to love this app. With the recent Catalyst update for notability I hope Twobird can come to Mac. I really wish it supported Office 365 or other account types. This would make it perfect and I could switch over to using Twobird daily..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Gmail onlyWhy would anyone bother with an email app that only serves google users. Some of us have no interest in giving away every bit of our highly monetizable and intensely private personal information to Google (aka The Borg). I like the dev’s app Notability, despite its cursive recognition not being built in (pay for upgrade) and not being automated (nebo converts as I write) and the magnifier being difficult to access (goodnotes moves the magnifying field along with my writing). But twobirds’ inability to add paid -private- email providers, or any provider except gmail, is a swift deal breaker. Google is the biggest player in the surveillance economy. I don’t get why they yoked themselves to the worst major “free” email provider in existence today..Version: 1.0.2
✓ RubbishI use notability so thought this would be good, but who makes an email client that only works with one provider...it only works with google accounts. Shame looked so promising.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good but needs workI like it but I have two problems with it. 1. There’s no way to quickly filter your inbox to show unread email. 2. Notes made in Notability don’t sync in Twobird. This is absolutely crazy. So I’m kind of left thinking... what do I need this app for?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Just get Hey instead! Thank me later!Pointless app! The inbox glitches and jitters as I scroll, making the experience less pleasant than even the base gmail experience 🙄. The unsubscribe feature seems to hang with no feedback to the user. It also litters your emails with several tags. I’ll be sticking to the Gmail app and Hey, as this app brings nothing to the table that those don’t already do better. This app just fell short in so many ways! 👎🏻 Hey has tracking pixel blocking, innovative features that separate it from other email clients, and overall just a better user experience!.Version: 2.0.1
