Yahoo Mail - Organized Email for Negative User Reviews

I have Yahoo! basic were I don’t pay anything for itThe only thing I don’t like about this and the reason I give it only two stars is not only do I get advertisements at the top of my email inbox but sometimes I get spam emails in my inbox instead of going into my spam folder and when I ask Yahoo! about this they tell me to upgrade to where I have to pay $.99 so I won’t get those spam emails or the ads up at the top of my email inbox that’s another annoying thing if it’s free then you shouldn’t have to pay anything to have the ad removed if you say you just like the ad you shouldn’t have to pay anything for an email service unless it’s a business account and you have a lot of other features and with me I just go ahead and send emails every once in a while and this is the same account as I’ve had for about five or six years since I opened my email address account and that’s my opinion of Yahoo! basic if I don’t want the ad they say it’s called the Yahoo! pro program and I don’t want to pay that because when I signed up for Yahoo! basic I was looking for a free and non- ad based email and that’s what Yahoo! was I know they have do you have to use Yahoo! pro if you don’t want the advertisements at the top why should you have to pay if it’s a free service for no advertisements why is it deleting enough.Version: 6.30.0

Yahoo mail appMuch preferred the old app. It was a lot easier to navigate.Version: 6.1.3

Advertising in my inboxI have had my Yahoo email address since 1998. Yes the dark ages of email and I have never thought about stopping until I changed to the app and started get advertisements When I delete them they ask why & don’t even hate the option to choose because it is unsolicited/unwanted!.Version: 4.29.2

Yahoo Mail since I got forced to use this instead of the older one.It’s not linking with my Apple mail as it’s supposed to anymore, I actually dislike it intensely, too many weird adverts disturbing the Mail, and the fact since it’s been changed after deleting my entire batch of all emails, receipts, archive, including medical appointments - everything to ensure I had to use this version and stopped me being able to use Apple Mail too, by stopping the link I had. I am very disturbed by this, I dislike the way yahoo runs itself. Then it made me link to Google mail which as an Apple customer I’ve never wanted to do. I am unhappy with it in the extreme..Version: 7.30.1

Average mail appIt’s good to have a dedicated app for your email but it’s annoying in many ways. If you have a number of folders it’s a pain to move from one to the other. when you send email it would be good to be able to request read receipts The worst feature is the way all emails in a thread are grouped. Makes it hard to find the latest or a specific message in that thread..Version: 7.1.0

Select all optionApp works fine, does its job. Would be great if it had an selection for us to "select all" mail so we can delete all. I don't have a lap top hence having this option in app would be superb!.Version: 4.19.1

It’s okBeen using this app for a while now and it’s generally stable and works without issues in any of the countries I’ve been in. The one annoyance is the advert that appears on the top line each time and the fact you need to pay £0.99 a month to stop it is basic theft. Give a discounted yearly price or do away with the advert altogether and it’s a 5 star review. One point: when you swipe away the advert, you can give feed back, obviously no one takes notice as the advert simply reappears. This is more concerning if you happen to find the advert offensive, you submit the feedback, it’s ignored and they reoffend you again..Version: 6.0.5

Unhappy userI am using yahoo mail since i don’t even remember when. i was always happy with it. until this update. let me explain. upon writing a new mail/replying to a mail and hitting the SEND button the mail was being sent even if you would leave the app. now!?!! not anymore. you have to keep the app open until the SENDING tab is gone. i did send a few emails without waiting for that and much to my surprise i got angry people phoning me and asking for my reply. imagine my shock when i hear them say that they never got my replies!!! now please YAHOO IT managers fix this. until then no more than 3 stars..Version: 6.26.0

My honest reviewYahoo Mail was my first ever email address when this whole internet thing took off. I eventually found out that I was going to need a different, or another email address because this Yahoo address was filling up fast with garage mail, or spam and my important emails were getting lost in all the spam. This was years ago, whenever all this started out and I now have 4 email addresses. I use each email address for a specific purpose, but I still use my Yahoo mail for getting information from the net knowing that whoever I’m getting the information from is going to sell my email address to a spammer, that’s why they’re is nearly 10,000 emails in my inbox and I have to delete another nearly 2000 garbage emails in my Spam Folder every week. It seems like the more I Unsubscribe to many of the emails the more I get. It seems like Yahoo is nothing more than a Spam destination, but now some of my other email addresses are more spam lately. Although you could say I’m not exactly happy with Yahoo mail, I very much like Yahoo Financial & Yahoo News. It keeps me updated on the things that I’m interested in....Version: 4.21.1

Dark theme setting is glitching AGAIN...Monday, February 21, 2022: Developer(s,) Thanks for your prompt reply. I have completely uninstalled (deleted) the app, followed by rebooting the iPad (6th Generation) redownloaded it from the App Store, saved its Theme setting to its darkest option, however, the glitch remains, I've repeated this process three times already, the results have been the same, the app's dark Theme works on most of it with the exception of the eMails' contents. Friday, February 18, 2022: The eMails' content element is NOT applying the dark theme ever since the V 6.47.0 update of Feb. 16, 2022, however, this glitch is present ONLY on my iPad 6th Generation (OS 14.8.1) it is NOT present on my iPad Air 4th Generation (OS 14.8.1,) this issue appeared before (~ late 2020 or early 2021) and was subsequently corrected. Developers, please fix this again. Thank you. Friday, July 23, 2021: eMail(s) NOTIFICATIONS have STOPPED working for about... I have tried to remedy this new issue by taking a number of steps that usually fix apps' glitches, however, not one has fixed the problem. eMail(s) NOTIFICATIONS are ESSENTIAL in this day and age, thus, I'd be grateful if Yahoo Mail's developers could take a look at the problem and find a solution. Thanks devs..Version: 6.48.0

Yet another improved version that is not an improvementIf it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!! Where is the viewing sort email by sender function? I use that to delete emails by sender and it is so much easier to clear the inbox that way. Swiping to delete a couple of emails is OK but when you have hundreds or thousands of emails to delete swiping or touching each one is not a desirable option. Before the change, I could sort by sender and highlight one email, hold the shift key click on an email way down the list which highlighted all other emails in between, hit delete and in a couple of key strokes I have deleted a hundred emails. Why take that ability away? That has been one of the major problems with gmail, you cannot sort by sender, which made yahoo mail more user friendly thus more desirable than gmail. Developers pat themselves on the back for giving users the ability to use emojis or gifs on a grand scale but take away the basic functions we use more. If a user is not interested in emojis or gifs then you have not improved anything with new and so-called improved versions you have just create a great deal of frustration and animosity for you product..Version: 4.23.1

Spam filter is in overdriveThe spam filter is in overdrive and literally filters everything as spam. I have been checking the spam folder everyday and moving them back and marking them as not spam. The filter doesn’t seem to learn in this day and age of modern algorithms. I get a lot of banking and my trading emails on my yahoo. They all end up in spam. I have saved the email ids in my contact and still they are put in spam! That’s something I don’t get! So seems like yahoo has stopped investing in developing and improving their mail service..Version: 7.20.1

Try to keep upYahoo has been my first ever email service and loved it so much, but you are dropping the ball more and more often Yahoo. I mean the amount of spam mail/ click bait I get it’s getting bigger and bigger. Is it so hard to set up a filter or increase your surveillance?.Version: 6.59.1

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!This is app is honestly by far the worst mail app i have ever seen!! They way things are organized is just one big MESS!! Every time i go to look at my recent email it for some reason will remove the email i just opened and then it will be about a couple minutes of me refreshing the app so that it will pop up again !! Also i have no idea why i can not look at past emails that are more than a week old ??!! This app is so stupid. You touch one thing and it’ll pop up a screen where there’s more options and everything is just kind of thrown in there. It is so hard to maneuver. I can’t find my old emails i need and i absolutely hate this app!! I’m 23 and this app makes me feel like i’m 40 because of how difficult it is to use. I am currently in the process of replacing my Yahoo email with a new gmail on everything i’ve used the yahoo on because this is app is a nightmare. and I didn’t even mention all the ads you get. I don’t feel very safe knowing companies can just go through my email and send Ads based on what information i feed it. And this app doesn’t even filter out spam or virus contained emails. Please do not get this app!.Version: 6.28.0

IMAP pleasePlease add support for IMAP/POP3 accounts..Version: 6.1

Can’t receive mailsI have tried to use yahoo for like one year, but I missed many mails for no reason. I can’t receive anything but other people show me that they have sent mails to me, and not only one person’s mail that I can’t get, which is absolutely annoying, and sometimes will make trouble for me, as I missed some important contracts..Version: 6.36.0

Thinking of stopping Yahoo after using >20 yrs…This app is nowhere as friendly to use as Apple Mail - and I’m not sure that it’s possible to consolidate the inbox of different accounts into one consolidate inbox (which is the default case for Apple Mail)… I tried using Yahoo Mail after first ditching it around 2009, but I just gave it a try since my Apple Mail is having issues fetching my yahoo mails (which might also be Yahoo’s server problems according to the web) - but no, this app won’t do. I’m weary of switching my main accounts to other servers, since I’ve used yahoo mail as my main since 2000, but I might finally not have a choice… meh. It almost seems like yahoo is going out of the way to kick out loyal multi-decade customers? :(.Version: 7.15.0

Small annoying flawPlease fix this issue! I want the notifications on the notification screen to show the Y! Logo instead of the new style of notification. Please make that an option! [Addendum] I got a notification that the Yahoo dev team contacted me to ask me why I want it back to the old way. The reason is because I cannot tell that the notifications I’m getting are from the Yahoo mail app. It looks as if other apps are sending me notifications and people are sending me messages on other apps, rather than me getting an email in Yahoo. For example, getting emails from my banks (Wells Fargo and Bank of America) appears as if I’m getting notifications from them through their respective apps. Emails from UPS and FedEx appears as if I’m getting notification from their apps too. This is because the notification icon is matching the logo or photo that’s part of their contact. I just want all my Yahoo email notifications to actually appear as if they’re coming from Yahoo mail app, like how I can tell notifications from my Gmail account are coming from my Gmail app. Like Gmail is more obvious, rather than a small, tiny purple Y! at the lower right part of the icon. Please make the whole thing a big purple Y! Thank you.Version: 7.36.1

Disappointed :(This app seems to be getting worse and worse. For months now I cannot add attachments - photos or documents - to an email via the app as it comes up as a blank section and says unable to load or some other reason why a photo hasn’t shown in the email. Very disappointed when I use my phone for work and have to find a way to send photos etc to the boss. So now I have to resort to sending heaps of text messages which defeats the purpose of having an email account in the first place..Version: 4.34.1

EnlargementIt is unfortunate photos of us with impaired vision, that within the Yahoo up we cannot enlarge are incoming emails. It is just as difficult when typing an email, in fact this may be more sore as you wish to be correcting what you’re writing. This makes it very difficult to edit or even read through your emails. Punctuation then becomes almost impossible to see. Can yahoo researchers please find a way to allow us to enlarge within, what is otherwise he very useful up. I do not wish to go to complete audio which I could, and then use the app with audio input and audio output using the phone system to convert incoming text. I’m sure I’m not the only person to have come across this difficulty..Version: 6.43.0

Locked out of my accountFor some reason I’ve been locked out of my yahoo Mail account and I’m unable to get it back as I’ve been logged out and I cannot log back in. I believe I’ve mistyped the security email address, which also can’t be accessed now, and I’ve recently changed my phone number and lost the SIM card. I acknowledge my fault, but at no point have I expected I’d be logged out of my own account in the app. Now I’ve forever lost my account and I’m unable to get it back, the faq’s didn’t help at all. What the hell is the point of such high security if it means some people will definitely lose their accounts because of small inconveniences. I have all my social media and university feed/college feed on that specific account please help me I can’t just make another one..Version: 4.44.6

NoCartoonish. Prefer my mail icon on my tablet..Version: 6.33.1

UselessThis app is pretty useless at a lot of things but my main gripes are with calendar invites (simply cannot be read... There is an attachment at the bottom of the email with no name and when you click on it all you get is "No preview available". Thus didn't use to be the case but has been for many months now and on their help website they just keep closing the threads and marking them as solves even though no solution has been provided) and search (the results are completely random and will more likely come up with emails that have nothing to do with your search but very few of the ones that do). Will move everything to Gmail, not perfect either but at least it has most of the basic functions sorted.....Version: 4.23.1

Ads ads ads. Download a 3rd party app, or move to another email provider.I’ve used yahoo as my primary email for nearly 20 years and their latest mobile app is frankly pathetic. The newly updated ads banner that mimic an email on your listing is ridiculous (unlike their competitors, dismissing as irrelevant/etc has no effect and it continuously reappears). This on top of other useless features (eg on mobile, wasting screen real estate with a mailbox size when you get 1TB free so no-one will be nearing their limit) shows they have completely lost their way in terms of customer centred design..Version: 4.44.2

Logging in issuesI reported many times of logging in issues still nothing I photo everything step by step doing everything to get my account back without missing anything of it still the same issues I don’t receive any notification from yahoo on my phone I gave feedback on yahoo search because all of the apps are locked from you this is bad situation although I didn’t violated any of your policy one of the steps I’ve took is subscribed to the premium mail organizers it’s and nothing happened no notification no response this is bad from company like you I’m sending from same mobile 💡When I saw the quantity of complaints this gives me bad impression and it’s disappointed how it’s easy for you to accept it with poor response different than before 💡still I’m disappointed and my trust is down because it’s from your app yesterday I try to logged in by my gmail that you choose as a third party nothing today the same issue it’s your app the main reason And still nothing about the notification I didn’t receive any although I set it on right checked everything nothing happened 😡still I can’t login to my account you don’t send notification I want my account back with everything on it it’s this is so bad.Version: 7.5.1

Spoofing issues on my yahoo emailsA few months ago I started having problems with my iPhone and iPad and everything was giving me problems! Called every Technician I could use and they thought I was crazy because they said there was no problems with my devices or WiFi! I kept having issues with my emails going missing or I was receiving emails from PayPal that said I owed a payment or mentioning my card! I don’t have a card with PayPal but have account that I’m paying off with PayPal Credit! Issues constantly and money came out of my bank account from PayPal then received a package with similar items I had recently viewed from 4Patriots only not the same and no invoice and item was no good! All this to say I have been hacked from my yahoo emails because security is bad! My personal information is all over the internet now! Had to erase my phone completely last night because the problem has grown so big! Using my iPad right now hoping they don’t get in it! BEWARE!!!!! Spoofing is a horrible issue with your email accounts and can turn your life upside down it has mine! My bank is threatening to stop my account from online banking and it. Isn’t my fault! Not always on your email provider! 🙁🙁.Version: 6.36.0

Not an email any moreYahoo used to be the best of the best, now it’s worse than google, useless features, constant bombardment of ads and no privacy. Yuck. Update: ‘developer’ requested feedback but unclear how to contact unless I signup and pay for yahoo+, no thanks. So I’ll give more feedback here… useless features: on the bottom of the page are the folder access button, something called shopping, something called receipts and so on, not sure what the purpose is for these, but this is useless to me. A good feature would be an option to block spam, of which there is a sort of feature that offers to unsubscribe, however if you use this feature you apparently open yourself to a massive spam attack, for me using this feature once has resulted in between 500 & 1000 spam emails per day, so much for privacy on yahoo mail. I’d quit them, except occasionally someone will contact me via yahoo email, bummer. ANOTHER UPDATE: Tried again to rid of a ridiculous spam email, even after many stupid attempts, I failed, followed by another onslaught of spam emails, no reason unless these count as traffic thus are worth $ therefore no way to get rid of..Version: 7.31.2

Great app one small flawI like this app I have no problems with its functionality. Perhaps others should update it if having functional issues. One thing that would make it perfect in my opinion (thus deserving of 5 stars) is if one had the ability to change the sound that is used for notifications of new mail received. I tried doing so in both phone settings and in app settings to no avail. One of the main reasons I switched to this app instead of using the Mail app in iOS was because for the last month or so (maybe longer) the iOS Mail app was not receiving pushed mail from Yahoo. It was before because I paid for that ability from Yahoo (paid so that POP mail would be supported). I guess Yahoo decided to stop that service or make it slow or whatever maybe to push (no pun intended) their own Mail app. It's fine. I'm not too disappointed. (I will be stopping payments for that though) Anyway, like I wrote, the main reason I got the app was so I could get mail as it's pushed to the server and now that's happening again. But the sound is too much like other notifications (like Tweet notifications and calendar reminders) so I can't tell by sound alone what just occurred on my phone. The sound is too much like other notifications in other words. So if we could change that notification sound that would be awesome. It would make the app perfect, IMO. I already submitted this as feedback in the app but I thought I'd write a review about it as well..Version: 6.33.0

Why so complicated?There is an issue with the process that checks your account recovery contact details. The app has prompted me many times recently with a pop up showing the phone numbers and email addresses I could use should I need to recover my yahoo account. I had been been ignoring the pop up, because the contact details, despite their age, were all still valid. Eventually I got sufficiently annoyed with the pop up that I tried to ease its concerns, but there was no obvious way to just confirm that the existing contact details were still correct. When I tried to confirm that the phone numbers were correct, the only option seemed to be to use the “edit” icon, then press “confirm”. This had the effect of deleting the phone numbers! I had to add them again from scratch. Why do you make this apparently simple process so complicated?.Version: 6.0.3

Super slowPhone is ip to date but getting mail msgs is ULTRA SUPER slow! Very annoying!.Version: 6.58.0

Won’t log in. Crap appTried using this app, open it, type username, get password screen and before I can finish typing it in, times out and won’t let me in. 3 times and then you reached your limit try again tomorrow..Version: 6.2.5

Doesn’t black spamEvery day I mark emails as spam and every day they keep coming from the same source. Good interface, easily manages multiple accountants. Auto updates quickly. Plenty of good points but the spam is a major negative; it means an accidental click - all too easy on a phone - could open me up to security breaches..Version: 6.59.1

Avoid the adsIt is stable, presentable, easy to use but needs to control the ads. The paid version will prevent that, but that is a puzzy way of advertising your product as ads in emails apps shall not occur in any plan, especially when you got other competitive mail apps or domains..Version: 7.27.1

Colours goneFunctionality is not too bad with the app. Unfortunately there are period where the spam filter seems broken and everything goes into the inbox, but this has never been permanent. Latest update however has lost the colour coding for separate accounts. As per the pictures in App Store the colour appears where the account is listed, since the last update it is only the tabs (inbox, attachments etc) that have the colour. Could easily tell which account I was in before, not as easy now.Version: 7.36.1

Attachments don’t openBasic pdf attachments don’t open. I have to go back and use the native iPhone email app (that I left to get Yahoo) to open attachments. Also when in an email the delete button is on the far left position which is hard to reach using one hand, I suggest users are given the option to move it. And when you do delete an email it takes you back to your inbox which is clunky and time consuming if you have a number of emails to look at and delete. Suggest an option that when in an email and deleting it, you are taken to the next email rather than back to the Inbox. Also the Inbox button is positioned at the far left position, again it’s hard to reach using one hand. Other buttons have the option to relocate but not Inbox. Suggest letting users move the Inbox button across if desired. If you fixed these issues it would be a good app..Version: 6.42.0

Emails don’t sendEmails have not been sending for the last 5 days - they just stay as drafts in your inbox and despite going back in and hitting send, no email goes out. Pretty basic function that should work..Version: 6.3.3

AdsI dislike that I keep getting ads from multiple sites that i have no interest in nor desire to subscribe to their services.Version: 6.1.3

Terrible text editing, crashesOh, and there's no support for varying text sizes in the per app accessibilty settings. As I age, the Yahoo mail text size is just too small. To summarize... The yahoo mail app - crashes - can’t handle editing in text mode properly - displays ads - crashes I’m now using Apple’s Mail app for my yahoo mail, and I recommend you do the same. forgot to mention - forced url previews are a joke. if I paste in a url string, I want a url string, not an html preview hiding the url. the text-only editor hasn't been fixed, it has been removed. *** Still crashing on startup on iPad 4 (iOS 10.3.3) most of the time. This yahoo mail app's text editing leaves much to be desired, particularly in text mode. Returns are just stripped, and words and lines are run together. Instead, returns should be replaced by a space to prevent this. Multiple returns should be treated as a paragraph break, and preserved. Try writing in text mode, and look at the mail that is delivered to e.g. a mailing list, particularly one that strips html attachments. It's embarrassing. Please fix this - although you've had years to do so, and haven't..Version: 7.24.0

Veers about, stability wise.I used Yahoo for years on my previous iPhone- up until it’s erratic behaviour made uninstall it and move a lot of things over to Gmail, as I had genuine concerns. After awhile, I found myself needing to use the address again, so I reinstalled it on my new iPhone 11. I have the “premium” version, so it’s SUPPOSED to be ad-free, yet I keep opening it to see a whacking great big ad just sat there. Reloading the app occasionally chases it away, but there’s no guarantee. Add in that it can’t count (it repeatedly forgets how many emails it has and doesn’t show notifications for new ones), and you have the reason I turned to gmail in the first place. Seriously Yahoo/Verizon, whoever the hecc is running this- do something. For those with anxiety or disabilities your app is a nightmare..Version: 6.23.1

Can’t log onReCaptcha won’t load. “Just be patient” I left my phone for 20 minutes and it still didn’t work. Tried several times. Reinstalled the app. Kind of a useless app if the program meant to keep robots out won’t let a human in..Version: 7.31.2

AntiquatedHow Yahoo email gets 4.5 stars is beyond me! Is this because thousands of Yahoo staff have written reviews? There are so many primitive things wrong with this software. To give one example. If I open a specific email such as say a travel document and then switch to another app to for example look up my frequent flyer number then go back to the open email to enter that information the email has disappeared and I’m back to the start. Another example. My outbox folder currently has a red circle with an exclamation mark Indicating a message wasn’t sent. When I click on the outbox folder there is just an endless spinning circle to load but even after several hours nothing is shown. I’ve also had it where an email wasn’t sent but no alert appears in the inbox and so an important message I thought had gone out hadn’t. If a yahoo software engineer used their own software they would quickly realise how outdated and poor it is. Lots of other examples..Version: 6.3.3

Please remove the “Deals from...” feature!I’d had a pretty good experience with this app, but now I’ve started getting a list of deals at the top of emails that are in no way related to the email I received - it normally shows from Groupon but the email is from say, my bank, and I have to scroll past them to actually read the email. It is a hugely annoying bug. Even if it only showed the deals above Groupon emails, I still wouldn’t want to see them, but there is no way to disable it. Please get rid of this feature, or at least allow users to turn it off. At the very least please fix the bug that displays the deals above all sorts of irrelevant emails..Version: 6.25.1

Paid money, still getting adsAre you kidding me right now?.Version: 6.2.9

AdvertisingI was being continuously served an advert that I didn’t like; I clicked the advert config (3 dots) menu choose to dislike the advert multiple times: even giving reasons a lot of the time but the it always came back. Yahoo Mail has now been deleted permanently and if I use a third party app it is MSOutlook: a clean and tidy interface without annoying ads and it has the major advantage of combining all mail from my accounts into one view: In Yahoo Mail I had to constantly go to the navigation menu to switch accounts: come on it’s not 1999! I would solely use only the native Apple Mail App but it is sometimes very slow downloading email from the servers..Version: 6.45.0

Great except for the “Deals in this Email” that dramatically slow you downI’ve used the iPhone Mail app well...since I’ve had my first iPhone. I’ve also always had a yahoo email address, and had seen they completely overhauled the yahoo app a little while back. I tried it and it was fantastic!! It made moving through all the mail (including junk mail) so much easier and quicker by simply swiping from email to email! However then the “deals in this email” started popping up and that wouldn’t clear the “unread” status. I tried emailing support to ask if there was a way to disable the deals component as it was quite annoying to have to back out of the message and go back in to “clear”and was given a canned response “we can’t respond to all emails so try our support page/FAQ”.....well, I also don’t have to use your app and can go back to my mail app. Then an update came out and that was gone...but then it’s back. Long story short, the app is good and user friendly...except for the pain in the behind deals from this email stuff, which if it stays will likey push me back to my native email app..Version: 6.1

My Yahoo app gives me no name: I am nul,nulEverything works fine with the Yahoo mail app except one thing: emails I send do not have my name on them. Recipients see me as 'nul,nul'. Some emails I send go straight to Spam, because of this; others are sent to Trash by the recipient. I cannot see a way to correct this..Version: 7.36.1

The ads are annoying!Really don’t like the ads always showing on the top of the Inbox! It’s very confused sometime when you just opened your inbox, it looks like a new mail has just arrived in. That’s only thing really annoying me. Apart from that, app is ok..Version: 4.44.6

New Update makes the app freezeNew update just 2 days ago, before it worked fine now it freezes everything i scroll down.. See here I use this app every 10-15 minutes through out the day but... after this update its not the same anymore!.Version: 6.16

912Liar.Version: 6.2

Stop with the ads!STOP WITH THE ADS! I am always reporting them but you never stop! And I should NOT have to pay money just to go ad free!! Have you heard of inflation?! I had to cancel my streaming services and stop buying certain “luxury” items while grocery shopping because of inflation! You think i have money to spend for no ads?!?! JUST STOP WITH THE CONSTANT ADS! Why are they so frequent?! Why do you have to have them at all?! I REPORT them and they still come back! I REPORT them every time! And after reading your responses to other complaints about ads, why are you so proud of yourselves? Does Yahoo not care? You seem so happy to harass people with add. Why does that make you so happy? Why does the feedback from people who use your app not make you want to change things up? It’s like you get off on the negative feedback! Or you get off on making people upset! Just stop harassing people with ads!!! What is your financial situation that you need money that bad that people have to pay for no ads. Why can’t you be more understanding about inflation and how its not easy for so many people right now! STOP WITH THE ADS!!! And DO NOT come at me and say i need to swipe them off and report them and don't tell me to pay!.Version: 7.31.0

Please make notifications consistent across devicesOne of my main beefs with Yahoo Mail is that is does not synchronize any “read” status for icon notifications if you use the app across a number of devices. If I read my emails on my phone, then the app on my iPad should remove the red notifications from the app icon. Heck, if I read the email on my PC using yahoo webmail, both my phone and iPad should remove their notifications. Facebook does it, gmail does it. Why can’t Yahoo Email do it?.Version: 6.18

Some email issuesI don't like the sponsored item at the top of emails. Plus I don't like the icons (not selected by me) to represent each email. My main concern is more in the functional side e.g. If I'm in a website and select to email someone it goes to the iPad email app (which is no longer in use) and not to yahoo to send, and this want send as it says my email server doesn't exits. So I have to go out of the website and cut and paste the email address into Yahoo. Plus I don't like the simplified icons, and ideally have to looks for "trash" as the bin doesn't look like a bin, plus the archive and file are too similar and being side by side I often click on archive instead if file, annoying..Version: 4.31

No more easy to find emailsI used to prefer yahoo mail over other apps because it allowed me to just click on the sender icon in the email header and it will look for all the previous emails from the same sender and categorised automatically by month or longer period. Since an update recently the sender icon lost the functionality, I bought the upgrade thinking the functionality was there but to no avail. I emailed yahoo providing images to query about it only to receive a generic response email after a week that is not relevant with my query, it’s always upsetting to know my query wasn’t read, investigated or answered properly. Now it’s just not the same anymore..Version: 6.39.0

App CrashesI have a lot of unwanted subscriptions and I thought the ability to unsubscribe to them was a really great feature until I started using it. After unsubscribing to a few of them, the app will crash and I’ll have to unsubscribe all over again. It’s a pain and honestly makes me not want to use the app at all. If you want to see the emails you have sent, forget about it. That isn’t a feature they give to you. There are ads and you have to pay if you want certain features, like blocking. You can also try to mark all of your unread messages as read, but the app will most likely crash on you after the second attempt. Last thing I’ll complain about, the spam is absolutely ridiculous. All of the spam is in my inbox even after I’ve been marking them as spam and the important emails from friends and lawyers are being sent over to my spam box, It doesn’t make any sense. It’s the worst part about this entire app. Overall, not the best experience with this app and I really went in wanting to enjoy it. Very likely I’ll be deleting and moving everything over to gmail..Version: 7.12.0

Yahoo CanadaI would enjoy it if there was a yahoo.ca Thanks.Version: 6.1.4

Version 6.0.1 buggyI have been happy with this app, have it on both my iPhone and iPad. But when the IOS changed to IPAD OS my app went funny. On my IPhone I can see my 3 accounts however on the IPAD I lost almost all functions. I cannot see or get to my other 2 accounts. With the one account I cannot see any of my folders until I go to store an email. I have removed and reinstalled and still it refuses to work correctly. It doesn’t appear that you can select different versions as in one for IPad or IPhone. I have tried with no results. So be careful if you have IPad and you want to use this..Version: 6.0.1

Sorry to say but I don’t like itI am not sure what has happened to this app. It’s used to be really fast and accurate in retrieving and filing Mail but recently but every time I file my emails it is back in the inbox again. It used to be really good. It also does not remember where you filed previous emails - unless this is a feature that you pay for in Pro. Today, I must have tried at least 5 times to file my emails but and it kept coming back into the inbox. I might as well uninstall it..Version: 6.19

Navigation difficulty in email chains.I find it painfully difficult to locate the money most current email in an email chain, even after having expanded previous messages, navigation is so so excruciatingly painfully difficult for us users if in the middle of our replying the most recent email message of an email chain we then decide to scroll up or down to maybe read something from a previous email in the history of the chain (for reference sake) and to come back to the current email we’re replying to complete the message, navigation back becomes similar to getting lost in a maze.....it is so off putting and annoying when this happens..Version: 6.27.1

LackingThe feature to select multiple emails and to move to a folder recently disappeared. It would be great if there was a ‘sort’ function so that you can easily view all unread emails, for example, but there’s not at this point. Also agree with the spam comment (spam button appearing to be useless). Also, lately when I try to select/highlight email content, it goes crazy and doesn’t allow me to have any accuracy. I hope Yahoo will look into these things....Version: 4.24

Too much spamToo much spam being allowed to get thru..Version: 6.57.0

Could be better.It's pretty good to access your e-mails, but the "Mark as Spam" function seems useless, as I have been marking e-mails as Spam, only to keep seeing them appear in my Inbox. Also it'll randomly send wanted e-mails to your Spam box, instead of your Inbox, sometimes for no reason and others because you've deleted one of the senders previous e-mails without reading it. Also why do e-mails no longer remain selected after you've done one action with them? Eg: I select all the emails I don't want to read this week, they'll be from stores, I select "Mark as Read", then it unselects them, meaning I have to spend more time reselecting them, so I can delete them in one lot. This is very time consuming, considering I can have up to 20 e-mails in a day, I only have personal accounts, if I had one for business it would be worse!.Version: 4.23.1

NoneWhy am I getting ads this sucks , I’ve been with u for many years now I’m thinking of changing.Version: 6.2.9

Run and Hide from this app, and Yahoo Mail altogether!I opened my Yahoo account in 2005 for the sole purpose of having a “throw-away” email address, to use in places I didn’t want to give my primary email address. I used it infrequently and stopped using it altogether around 2012. Now, in 2022, ten years later, no one, and I mean NO ONE has my yahoo email address. I use it for NOTHING. In searching for a potential new email client I came upon Yahoo Mail and started reading the reviews. I saw a lot of recent comments regarding a large preponderance of unfiltered spam. I decided to check my Yahoo email, which I still have but NEVER use. Lo and behold, the inbox is suddenly flooded with spam. Between 2005 and June of 2022, I literally had about 15 spam emails. In June of this year, the floodgates opened. From June 2022 - Jan 2023, I have 260 spam emails, of which only 30 were caught by the spam filter. Now let’s think about this. I have not given this email out to anyone in over ten years. How could I be receiving spam? The only way this email address is out in the wild is if Yahoo gave/sold it to someone. There is no other explanation. It’s pretty clear to me that your privacy means nothing to Yahoo. This combined with the fact that they are either unable or unwilling to stop the flow of spam into your inbox, users should be abandoning ship here post haste. Run and don’t look back..Version: 7.5.1

Yahoo mail good and badGood: Easy to enter mail, punctuation flows and keyboard use is predictable. Mail is sent and received promptly. Could be better: Maintenance of contacts is not always easy. Changes of email addresses do not allow deletion of old address so that the option of which address to use is open. The new arrangement of incoming mail often means even if I have worked through the inbox, there are still emails unread and I have to use the unread button. Not a disaster but inconvenient. Needs doing: The old mail put an arrow against mails which had been replied to or forwarded. This is missing so I cannot check what needs attention. REPLACE THE REPLY/FORWARD ICON ARROW. There is no return button for when I hit the file button BY MISTAKE but I do not want to file the mail. It insists I put it somewhere but I might just want to delete it. PUT A RETURN BUTTON AFTER THE FILE ENTRY. Hope this helps, is it possible to get a reply to this, just to see if anyone at yahoo is actually interested in feedback..Version: 4.31

Utter crapWhen I created a yahoo account many moons ago I was immediately inundated with adds and over time it got so increasingly bad that it became impractical and time consuming to use it at all, so it became my registrations account for anything that insists on a registration that I don’t want to give and only ever access to prove a registration is genuine. Everything else is ignored! Thought I’d give the app a chance as it is apparently required to enable account key security but on opening and annoyingly defaulting to allow all spam from all partners which is turned off already in my email account it tries to bully me into registering my other email accounts with other providers in the app. This ain’t happening considering the crap I get through yahoo. However as a result there doesn’t seem to be any way of getting to the yahoo email in box I’ve entered without first registering my other accounts so basically it’s useless! Don’t bother with this app, it’s not worth the spam or time.Version: 4.27.1

Cannot search within foldersThere is no functionality to search within folders. Keyword searches give results from all folders, how about building in a search where you can specify the folder to search in. No one wants to wade through hundreds of results when you really only want the results from a particular folder..Version: 6.50.0

Completely overshadowed by othersThis app is falling so far behind it's not funny. There are embarrassingly basic functions missing and lots of examples of poor design: 1. No way to attach a file from the cloud instead of sending a link. 2. No way to create a hyperlink. 3. No way to connect with OneDrive, only Dropbox and Google Drive (what the heck?) 4. No way to search for a folder when moving messages. 5. No way to create or manage disposable email addresses without using a desktop browser on a computer. 6. No mail headers (To, From, Date, Subject) in replies and forwarded messages. 7. Viewing PDFs is SLOW. It takes more than 5 seconds to show the first page and then more than 5 seconds to show the rest. 8. Ads are getting more and more intrusive. It was bad enough just getting them at the top of the inbox, now they're huge graphical ads taking up the space of 4 messages. Just appalling. 9. Moving the folder list into a button on the toolbar was a horrible UX decision that I curse every time I swipe from the left expecting to see the folder list there as it is on every other mail app. This used to be my go-to mail app, but Outlook is better in every single respect. There's literally no reason to use this app when there are better free apps out there..Version: 6.48.0

LayoutI dislike the email layout of emails n replies as I think the original set up of it all been in one email, reading down vertically like the early 2000’s was so much better, user friendly n easier to read n make sense of but this email on top of email from first email, reply, then back n forth needing each to be dropped down is ridiculous, hard to make sense of esp if there is a multitude of emails like at work or between yourself n a company etc! Go back to original layout pls!!!! This is a head ache this way tbh.Version: 6.33.1

Too may adsAds keep rolling in unless you upgrade for a fee of course will be deleting this app.Version: 6.2.9

Pay to get emails when they arrive!Yahoo mail basic used to be very reliable. It would notify you when you got an email and there was an inexpensive one time fee to remove ads. In the past year or more, the app only checks for mail a few times an hour and notifies you, when it checks, if you have any new mail. It’s important that I get certain emails immediately. I wear an Apple Watch for that specific purpose, well that and for text messages. Because I can’t hear or feel the phone often times when it notifies me. The point is, with the paid option, I can get my emails when they arrive! It’s ridiculous I have to pay for it though. And ads? I paid, what was intended to be a one time fee, to remove ads from the Yahoo mail app years ago, and for some reason they just started displaying ads again and there was nothing I could do about it. Am I happy with the app? Yeah, it performs extremely well, and I am generally happy with it. But the fact I am forced to pay a subscription to make it perform basic functionality is unacceptable..Version: 6.18

Bug ReportGreat App! Been using yahoo mail for years, but have recently found out that it doesn’t support PDF attachments, when receiving an email with a PDF attached it is unable to be viewed in the app (web version opens it fine) and the inability to open the PDF means that the PDF can’t be downloaded either. The option to press and hold an attachment to download or share it would be greatly appreciated as currently you need to open the attachment to download or share it. EDIT: It seems PDF files are supported by the app and can be viewed/opened, but in my case some of the PDFs come with password protection and the password input screen seems to be whats unable to open. Would be greatly appreciated if this could be fixed.Version: 6.37.1

Don’t like paying to remove adsI have been using third-party mail apps for years because I don’t like Yahoo’s website AND I don’t like Yahoo’s mail apps. I get perfectly fine service with other mail apps that I already use and don’t need to pay to remove ads from them. When there are already so many other choices, why pay?.Version: 6.2.9

You know about spam reaching inbox for monthsBut yahoo keeps sending to my inbox.. Tiffany and Co, Louis Vuitton are your favorite spammers. Why do I say that? They probably pay you to let them bypass the spam filter. You let them spam multiple yahoo accounts and from .eu email addresses, that means Europe. Now before you say, we will fix it, I’ve read reviews complaining of the same thing from Late 2017 and into January and February 2018. It’s May 2018. You refuse to do anything about it. Yahoo and Oath is a crap company. I’ve complained on Oaths Facebook messages and posts. You don’t even read them. Your a corrupt company that spams its members for profit. I don’t have this problem with gmail and I recommend gmail to anyone reading these reviews. You refuse to do anything about putting the spam in the spam folder( your not smart enough to do this) The spammers are smarter than your corrupt mail and spam teams. You like spam, you let them spam hundreds of millions of users, they complain, you do nothing. Fix your bad spam filter today. Oath is a spam company. You get rich off it, that’s the only reason for derelict of duty. 5 months ago someone complained here on these reviews. You haven’t and won’t fix it because they pay you to bypass the spam filter..Version: 4.27.1

Still cant BLOCK spam and scams, Yahoo listen to our complaints and start making changes please!!LET US BLOCK SPAM DIRECTLY FROM THE APP, NOT JUST VIA DESKTOP and then make the blocking of these nuisances actually block them. Tired of blocking the same ones just to keep getting inundated with the same rubbish emails. Oh and the email reply chains are terrible and are all over the place, very difficult to navigate and find the original email. Please fix this and remove the chain. Too many issues now. i have used my yahoo account as my main email for many many years now, over a decade. But the ads that are at the top of my emails now are forced upon me and i do not want this happening anymore. The amount of spam i also get should not be happening and to make things worse i cannot block this garbage from the app. I have to log in through a laptop or desktop computer to access the block setting to block all the unwanted spam and scams. Time to get with the times yahoo. Im out!.Version: 7.11.0

Slowest email experience everI downloaded this app because I kept getting notices that the preloaded mail app on my iPad would no longer work with a yahoo account. It has been an extremely frustrating experience. The app takes at least 30 seconds to load every time I open it. Then the deals for any newsletter I’m subscribed to display display at the top and it takes 15+ seconds to unfreeze before I can scroll down to read the message. When I delete a message it takes another 20+ seconds to move on to the next one. Flipping from my inbox to another folder isn’t even worth it. When composing an email, if I have to exit the app to look something up in Safari (like how to spell a word, etc.), it usually will reload when I come back and I have to go find the message in my drafts. (Even if I was only gone for less than a minute.) Every action takes forever. Also, formatting text is extremely limited. I can’t even change font sizes, indent paragraphs, nor make bullet points. The only plus I can give it is that it allows me to report messages as spam. Seriously, I had a faster experience on my PC 20 years ago when it was infected with a virus..Version: 6.35.0

Not happyIt is quite frustrating that if I open a website via my email, I cannot access my yahoo mails again unless I click back and back back.....until am back into the yahoo mail. I’ve also lost all my notes attached to my email that came with my iphone. I now have Re-restore my iphone and WILL never make the mistake to use Yahoo app via my mobile again, unless changes are made so that I don’t loose my important information saved over the years. Also, that a new web page is open outside Yahoo when link is click via yahoo email app, so that I am able to access my emails without having to close the website I visited..Version: 4.27

Mail won’t DeleteFrom last 3/4 updates YAHOO MAIL app won’t delete mail when you delete any Mail it’s shows up again in INBOX instead of going to DELETE folder..Version: 6.4.2

No Setting For Notification SoundsDeleted app finally. I linked yahoo mail through gmail. I highly recommend. More flaws to report with yahoo app. I am using an iPhone X. Mail would disappear from the inbox if I clicked on a new mail notification. Would take hours to appear back. If I used the search to find an old email it would find the email and when I click on it the email it would just load and load an nothing would appear. I finally had to forward the email to gmail so I could view it. Also why should one have to pay to remove annoying ads which aren’t even applicable to what I am interested in. Worst app ever. Minus one star for not being able to change sounds for incoming & outgoing mail. If you have an iPhone you are stuck with the generic default notification and can’t change it at all in the settings of the app or in the settings for the iPhone. Second minus star that they show irrelevant ads in the top of the inbox. I don’t want to pay a dollar a month to get rid of it. If you want people to use your app rather than the default mail setting in the iPhone then get rid of that like gmail and outlook have in their free versions. Update to the developer’s reply. That is untrue. Both the Outlook and Google mail apps. let you change sound notifications within the “settings” of the widget themselves and not in the actual Apple settings..Version: 4.28.2

Yahoo appI have not been able to use the app for over a year now. even with the update, deleting the app and reinstalling still won’t work..if you can fix it I’ll be happy..Version: 6.2.9

Please amendI just wish Apple would let us roll back to previous app versions. I would like to go back on this one for sure. When you reply, it includes you as a recipient? Also, you have re-moved the move to folder option behind the three dots. Forwarding is not as frequent a requirement as filing. Please replace. It takes three or four clicks depending on screen size to file an email away into its correct folder. For years, Apple mail has even been clever enough to suggest which folder it goes in. Can’t you implement that? The mobile app works fine so I’m definitely not updating Adverts, bullying us to use the paid version just make us use other standard mail apps. I appreciate the continuous updates but surely one of the main maxims of computer programming is if it works, don’t fix it. Merry Christmas..Version: 6.20

I don’t want to sound entitledYahoo! has truly become a terrible email service in the last 3 years or so. Before, there would be one or two SPAM emails that would get through the SPAM filters, in place, every month or so. Now it seems that everyday there are multiple SPAM emails that make it through to my inbox and it’s fairly annoying. I have to keep marking them all SPAM but that’s not stopping anything. I’ve had this email address for 10 years, but it’s time for a change. I’ll be looking to close all of my Yahoo! email accounts and move over to Gmail. I’ve noticed that the email address I’ve had for 12 years with Gmail has not gotten more than a handful of SPAM emails in my inbox over the last 12 years! It will definitely take a few weeks to change my email address with every online account I have, but it will be worth it once I have an effective SPAM filter in place by having Gmail email addresses. UPDATE: Someone on the Yahoo! development team responded to my review, but did not thoroughly READ my review. Suggesting that I make sure to mark the emails spam when it clearly states in my review that I have been marking them all spam and it’s not working. Then follows up with they’ll let the “anti-spam team” know. Laughing - What a joke!.Version: 6.5.2

Seriously?I have been using this app for years and the most recent update has pushed me to write my first review. Can you stop shoving in app purchases into my face? This is a mail app not a game, I’m not subscribing to whatever you want me to so stop it. The ads are now more invasive and their way of giving you a solution to the problem they caused is with spending money... literally what? It’s not hidden either there are now pop ups prompting you to spend money... I’m quickly switching between mailboxes to delete spam, I don’t need to push your new paid service in my face! I wish there was a way to roll back an app version on iPhone because it’s only been one day and I’ve already had enough of this. I only updated because a reply wouldn’t send and I got a downgraded version of the app because of my impatience. No matter how invasive you are I’m not giving you a single penny. Anyway, do better..Version: 6.60.0

Sent mail appearing as drafts in outboxI’ve tested even sending to my alternate gmail. Nothing getting through..Version: 6.1.3

Tedious and annoyingThe update where they changed how delete works was when I really started to hate this app. When I trash/delete an email I DO NOT want to go back to my inbox to have to select another email to view and potentially delete, starting the whole process again. It’s long and counter intuitive. I want delete to take me to the next email in my inbox like all other decent email apps, not throw me back to the front screen of my inbox. You listened to feedback and made this change? Which idiots think this is better??! At least give us the option in settings to have the old system back if we want it. If Apples mail app worked with Yahoo flawlessly I would have deleted this mess a long time ago. Sadly, depending on the day, I have to use both to get access to yahoo mail. If my email address wasn’t used for everything and wouldn’t cause a massive headache I would have switched to gmail ages ago. Poor, Yahoo.....very poor indeed..Version: 4.36

Too many adsNot bad but way too many ads. Poor work..Version: 6.1

Worst Ever: Yahoo Mail - The Newer Crappier AOLRemember how horrible AOL was, and how excited we all were to leave that mess? Well let me introduce hot mess 2021 - Yahoo Mail. They are nice enough to sell your personal data to their partner sites without your permission. Go to settings. Go to Privacy Dashboard. Click the underlined words “privacy dashboard”, and you can see each individual partner, what data they are collecting, and who they’re selling it to. If you have 30 minutes to spare you can go into each partner and “opt out”. But wait…..there’s more. In the case of three of their partners, you will need to perform this action on a daily basis, because Yahoo Mail loves you so much that they’re gonna opt you right back in the following day. I’ve sent feedback regarding this. Especially since I am a resident in a State that has very specific guidelines regarding the sale of my personal data, and my ability to opt out of such practices. I don’t expect a response or resolution- that would be too much like “the right thing to do”, so I will post this as fair warning to anyone using, or looking to use this mail platform- They’re going to sell your data. They’re going to make it as difficult as possible to opt out. They’re going to make it difficult for you to even know it’s happening. I wish I could give them half of a star..Version: 6.38.0

What the hellI paid to have it ad free and I still keep seeing ad’s like what the hell I want my money back!.Version: 6.2.8

Worst E-Mail ClientOf all the well known (if you still count yahoo amongst the well known) email client softwares like Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc, this is the poorest in every aspect of functionality that makes an email client software. The biggest problem is yahoo seems to have opened up its customers email addresses to the entire hacker/dark web world. I am very careful with my privacy and careful where my email address goes or not. Of all the clients I use (gmail, Hotmail and yahoo), yahoo bombards me the most amount of spam in my inbox. On top of that, even when I painstakingly classify them as spam, yahoo put the email from the same sender in my inbox! Not only yahoo’s spam filtering is poor, the user experience and functionality for blocking spam (manually) is poor too. Poor show Yahoo!.Version: 6.27.0

Spam, spam, spam…I have been a loyal and happy customer for many years, but for the past few months I have been swamped by large volumes of spam on a daily basis..Version: 7.5.1

Absolutely WOULD NOT recommend till bug is fixed!!My PROBLEM/COMPLIANT is Yahoo continues to automatically add contacts to my contact list, even from all my Spam mail folder, without me telling it to. NOT a GOOD THING Yahoo. See previous review info below with details about what is going on. "Yahoo/App allows very little user control, yet their security seems to be very suspect. For example, every address, even from Spam emails, is added to your contacts list. Yahoo should NEVER be taking it on themselves to decide who I want in my contact list. I should have control of who I want added to my contacts, not the other way around. Certainly not Spam addresses! And once they are added, Yahoo makes sure you cannot batch delete them. (Here's an example of how many unwanted contacts are added in a short period of time): I had just cleaned out my contacts about a week ago. Today I had to go in and individually delete another almost 80 unwanted addresses. Should NEVER have happen in the first place Yahoo!!! Who wants Spam addresses automatically added to your contacts list? And if you want help, have a suggestion, or need to write Yahoo for assistance, there is never any help or response. They make sure their privacy is intact, they just don't respect ours.".Version: 4.44.1

App comes with forced ads ...Forced ads are intrusive, removing app and will just use outlook..Version: 6.0.8

Worst Email App EverUpteenth update I officially talked to a lawyer about Yahoo’s porn spam emails and how yahoo by purposely neglecting this issue is complicit in the very act. They are flooding my work email with this garbage and refuse to do anything about it *****UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW ***** now I am getting PORN spam in my direct mail box if this continues I have lawyers who will sue you!!!! We should NOT have to pay to keep such spam out of our mailbox ******* Still no reply from Yahoo on the porn spam *****class action lawsuit***** who’s with me **** I am taking screenshots of these and forefinger to my lawyers & am going to have them do a class action lawsuit, who’s with me****** First let me start off by saying YES I DO MARK EMAILS AS SPAM; all in caps because reading other reviews it appears response teams do not thoroughly read reviews beginning to end. I mark emails as spam yet nothing happens, this has been going on for months and the same emails are sent “straight to my in box instead of my SPAM folder even though I’ve marked as spam over & over” horrible app. Be forewarned IF YOU ARE THINKING OF DOWNLOADING & USING YAHOO EMAIL *****DON’T DO IT***** If I could give less than 1 star I would**********.Version: 6.48.0

Worst mail app ever!Yahoo’s app is the worst mail app I have ever seen. It reveals all your personal information and gives the user absolutely no control to restrict the exposure of your personal information. DO NOT USE THIS APP!.Version: 6.8

An e-mail server to collect spam inI’ve had Yahoo! Mail since I was in high school. Since then not much innovation has happened in the realm of yahoo! You’d think it would be much improved in 25 years. Nope… not really. Things have changed, yes. When e-mail was new I made a goal to receive 100 emails. After several months of dedicated e-mailing to anyone I knew who might have an e-mail address I reached that goal. Now, I get that many e-mails in a day. Mostly unsolicited. I don’t know where it’s all coming from. I suspect yahoo sells my e-mail address to pay for its services. Well, yahoo, I throw it all in the trash without looking at it. Also, I now get yahoo! News, which is the most biased garbage news source you could ever find. I imagine at one point some rich guy bought yahoo just to spread his own political views. I pretty much never agree with their news point of view even to the point where if there is a news item I agree with on yahoo news I seriously reevaluate where I stand on the issue. Let’s face it, yahoo mail is pretty much the worst e-mail of all the free e-mail services..Version: 7.5.1

What Happened ?Something is wrong with the last ap update. Now i click on “mail” in bottom left hand corner and the page freezes making everything inaccessible. I have to go out of the ap wait and go back in to try and access emails. Often times emails cannot be opened..Version: 6.2.9

Clunky and incompleteThis app annoys me terribly as it’s so much WORSE than the Apple version ( which I can no longer use to access my emails on my iPad or iPhone). It loads very slowly, I dislike having to regularly scroll through advertising to see my actual mail and moving mail to folders is unnecessarily clunky and time consuming. But the thing that I particularly dislike about it is the fact that whenever I follow a link to a website, I DON’T RELIABLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ENTER DATA BECAUSE THE KEYBOARD IS FREQUENTLY AND RANDOMLY NOT AVAILABLE!! The ONLY reason I haven’t moved to another mail provider is the emotional attachment I have to the account, which was set up by my (now deceased) partner. With time, that attachment is diminishing as a result of PURE FRUSTRATION. PLEASE make this app more functional, ASAP!.Version: 6.59.1

Can’t stop random emails being added to my contact listEmails being automatically added to my contact list is very, very annoying. I only want my contact list to be people I actually email, not every random contact who emails me. Please change this. Viewing my email on a computer does not show all these extra contacts, only on the app, so please remove them. I also made sure an option in the desktop version about enhanced contacts is off, which it is, but that did not change anything. I took two hours the other day to delete them one by one, and now I take time daily to delete the dozen of contacts that get added. It’s ridiculous I don’t have any say in my own contact list! Edit: There is a button at the bottom of the contact list that says “view less” but clicking on it crashes the app! It is mind blowing how Yahoo can’t keep up a contact page for their email app, considering it’s something so simple we’ve been using for over 20 year on our phones and other email clients. This is not a problem on the desktop version of the app, so WHY is there such a problem with the app? I shouldn’t have to take time each day to delete these new contacts for every random email I get in my inbox. I have nine contacts, I only want those in my list! Plus the photo I set for one of my contacts keeps disappearing, which is annoying, but not nearly as annoying as all the other problems with this app..Version: 7.36.1

If you don’t want to pay for plus, this app is garbageUpdate Sep ‘22. Moving this to one star as I have said adios forever. None of my complaints had to do with anything that could be solved with a iOS update. They are all features not bugs. Get your mail a different way, it will save you stress. I have begun the frustrating process of moving my important email off of Yahoo. If you don’t want to pay for their “upgraded” email service you have to endure… In-message Spam - Yahoo fills the top 75% of your screen for each message with affiliate links that it thinks are related to your message. They did a nice job of making it look like it is part of your message but they didn’t do as nice a job on their matching, so you have to scroll past irrelevant junk to read the actual message. Every. Time. Inbox Spam - Yahoo used to have a decent spam-sniffing AI that learned from every message you marked as spam. No longer. I get hundreds of junk messages daily, some that I mark as spam again and again. Bad Browser - every link in your mail opens in a clunky yahoo browser. Be prepared to live without many conveniences you take for granted with good browsers. Especially fun is when you start filling out a form in said browser, put your phone down for five minutes and open the app to your normal inbox, with whatever you filled out lost to the ether..Version: 6.61.0

Yahoo mail appThis is the worst app I’ve ever seen. My previous e-mail carrier switched over to Yahoo mail and it was the worst possible move. Can’t access my address contacts and doesn’t seem to be a way to do it on y phone. My other devices permit some e-mail contacts but not all. The “B” section of my address book is gone and had some significant addresses for me. You can’t contact Yahoo for help. I called their “premium support service “ . They put me on hold 5 minutes then hung up. I tried the chat room. Put my problem in and got canned choices of problems, none of which were correct. When I replied none of those were the problem, chat room told me to call the helpline. I got an e-mail from Yahoo asking how they were doing and if I needed help . I responded with the contact list problem. They responded with a list of possible topics I could read about, none of which was my problem and said they can’t answer individual questions. This is the most abominable service I’ve ever seen. And you get ads in with your e-mails you can’t delete. You have to pay another $2/month to get rid of ads. Run from this as fast as you can..Version: 7.36.0

Privacy and security issuesI have been using it for a really long time and so far in terms of privacy and security it’s not the most safest, actually it’s not safe at all. I have had someone get into my account a lot of times and peek in and when they do it doesn’t show in recent activities. Regardless of how strong my password has been in the past someone has been hacking my account as I have noticed some changes. I have suspicions it is yahoo customer service representatives looking into emails because when I called them after they locked my account, they had every detail about my email which only I should know. Had some very personal and sensitive documents and it’s such a shame that a company like this doesn’t take peoples privacy seriously. Also I have had to pay monthly subscription fees for them to stop ads because it got really annoying. I was constantly getting ads for unrelated things. I also noticed being signed up for services I never subscribed to. I wouldn’t recommend them at all to anyone. Not if you are wanting a better service and something for long term. I have been with them for so long and have had so many issues with emails but they haven’t been able to fix it. If you want to maintain your privacy and have a better security look elsewhere..Version: 4.44.3

Latest updateEver Since the update I’ve had nothing but trouble and MAJOR issues. All of a sudden I keep getting at least 20+ spam emails a day straight to my inbox folder BUT emails from my contacts are going directly into the spam folder even emails that I have sent to people their reply email goes straight to the spam folder not my inbox and all I get in my inbox is just non-stop spam emails that are clearly spam emails. And trying to fix it and or even trying to contact yahoo about trying to fix it is impossible it’s ridiculous.Version: 6.56.1

-minus 5 stars SPAM FILTER!Yahoo was great now total rubbish. SPAM straight inbox non stop! Spammers are using base64 to encode emails and yahoo mail server filters are useless. Gmail servers filters the same spam straight to junk folder. It is not fooled by base64 encoded spam. Not only that the ‘user’ filters with yahoo are useless. No option to filter spam straight to trash. I get it though.. it’s all about the user (is) coughing up money to get these features thru the yahoo business product.. since mid jan2021 all the rules changed and now yahoo want money to provide the same basic service gmail provide for free.. I’m slowly moving my emails to gmail and will kissing yahoo goodbye.. if your business is lacking revenue then You should advertise in the app, NOT cut features and kill basic spam filtering.. you are just shooting yourself in the foot. Because when the users get sick of being spammed by bitcoin, hemp, emails people will leave yahoo all together like me. I really hope you go out of business and it seems by cutting features and upsetting your customers your heading in that direction.Version: 6.21.1

Friendly!Realiable since2000😃💃🏽.Version: 4.19.1

Best looking interface on the market, but no way to get rid of the barrage of addsI really wanted to love this Mail app, and have persisted for a month now… it has the best look and feel of any Mail app out there… but!! The constant barrage of adds invading my screen space does your head in, and it irks me more the longer I use it. I finally took the step of saying ‘oh well, it bothers me so much I’ll even pay for a subscription to the Plus version to remove it’… only to be told it’s not available in my country (Australia). Oh well, I’ll just have to delete and try another..Version: 6.34.0

Useless UI changes, cluttered and with ads05 October 2022 update. They have now moved the unread mail button from the bottom of the screen to half off the top and replaced all the useful buttons with stuff I don’t need in an email app, like shopping and recipes. Now with years off muscle memory you will just be clicking shopping all the time instead of unread, the funny part, I already had folders for “shopping”. This app has become so cluttered with crap, the only reason I have not uninstalled it, is because of the Authenticator. Older complaints. An email app has one job, to download emails. This app does not even do that. Most of the time it says your box is empty and all the other times, you can't read your emails as they don't download. Also had it using my location without asking and it does not need my location for downloading emails, and by use my location, I do mean that it was tracking my phone constantly without stopping. I had to go into the phone setting manually stop it from using my location service. The last problem with this app, there is an ad at the top of every email folder or box that looks like an email, but is really and ad. I would use any other email app than this crap, it used to work. Now I just use the one that comes with the phone..Version: 7.0.1

ThreadsI am a yahoo user snd am generally pleased with the service but do struggle when I need to locate a specific mail that is in a thread of to and from communications - especially when using my phone - on the computer it is not such a problem.Version: 6.41.0

It gets email!Outside of retrieving email, this app is not very user friendly. The Apple email app, which is already present and cannot be deleted, is equally as good, if not better. Or there are other apps like gmail that are cleaner and easier to use, even with yahoo accounts. After the initial review (above), Yahoo contacted me to ask me to tell them how to make their product better. I will try to put this into perspective. The Yahoo app is like a stiff version of Apple mail. Things are placed awkwardly and do not function smoothly or easily. And when I set up an account, my first attempt didn't go as I wanted it to. So I set up a second, duplicate account, thinking I could delete the first. But the app will only allow me to delete the correct account. The incorrect one does not show under Manage Accounts. The only way I can see to eliminate it is to kill the app and start over. As stated previously, my review is that until Yahoo does their own homework, there are better apps to handle your email. I recommend trying a side-by-side comparison with this app, the Apple app and the Gmail app. Then you can make up your own mind. I would lay odds that the Yahoo app is your first choice...to delete..Version: 4.23.1

Log outIn cellphone must have a log out like before. Why now there is no log out in cell phone that would consume data? Thus, in order to log out, delete the apps to avoid being hack while your not using it due to non log out, then download the apps again if needed..Version: 4.20

Apple colour flags?Having had problems with the last iOS update I downloaded the Yahoo mobile app as a direct access to my Sky/Yahoo mail until I managed to sort out access via Apple. The Yahoo App has a quite pleasing visual representation and works well. However it had highlighted an issue with colour flagging of emails on my iPhone, Mac Book and iPad. Apple’s recent introduction of selectable coloured flags is a very useful feature for indexing and works well on the iPhone and Mac but on the iPad flag selection reverts back to the default red. The reason has now become apparent in that the iPhone and Mac connect , by default, to the Yahoo server using POP3 protocol and as such are downloaded to the devices and hence colour flagging is retained at this local level. However the iPad uses IMAP and as the files are stored on the Yahoo server any selected colour flags revert back to the default red. Yahoo needs to collaborate with Apple to support this feature on its servers..Version: 6.3.2

DistractingAs an Uber driver the constant and flow of unwanted advertisements interferes with the GPS and I almost had two accidents because I am constantly taking my eyes off the road to see something coming in when I’m trying to navigate. Did used to be the advertisement came in but now they are coming in at five or six at a time blocking where I am supposed to be driving with the passenger. Uber cannot do anything about it said to contact you… Why are they flashing across the screen when before hand they were just going to my regular mail please do something about it before you get sued for distracted driving this is very serious and there are others that share the same opinion. Like I said they used to come into regular mail but why do they have to flash across the screen and interfere with the GPS. thanks for the update really a great idea to turn off notifications and of course once I do that I won’t know if I have any messages according to the Verizon people why can’t you just send those emails to my email so I can delete them I informed uber of the problem thanks for getting back to me but I don’t think you really understand the danger i’m trying to drive him forever wiping off the unwanted solicitation settle up next time huh.Version: 7.0.1

Ads came back too soon after I paidI switched to yahoo mail because the built in iPhone email software kept deleting all the thousands of emails that have built up over time and redownloading all of them, not just the most recent ones, using up all of my month's data. This alternative software subjects you to ads unless you pay a fee. I was prepared to do that so I paid the year's fee which should have lasted until this December. However, yahoo mail tried and failed to update today, and when I opened it again it conveniently "forgot" about my payment and turned ads back on. So yahoo took my money, but now wants to monetise my usage anyway. I don't know how to bring back ad free mode without paying again and I don't want to see ads so I'm leaving this ridiculous app behind and looking somewhere else. Don't bother getting pro, if you don't ads, this isn't the app for you..Version: 4.26

Horrible App - Makes You Want to Switch to GmailThis email app is absolutely horrible. I’ve been using it as my primary personal email address for several years and it constantly has glitches, despite numerous version updates. The very worst is when you send emails, it often sits in your outbox with an error message and you’d never find out unless you happen to check your outbox and find out it never sent. I’ve had several important emails that this happened with and the 1-3 day delay cost me thousands of dollars. Then there’s also the issue that very often when responding to an email and switching screens to another app in the middle (e.g. you’re checking something on Safari to see what to write before finishing the email), it will literally save 10 different drafts of your email after sending it that you don’t have the ability to delete, which completely clogs your inbox and prevents you from scrolling in your email history to pull up older emails in the thread. I’ve had my Yahoo email for 25 years and am about fed up with the poor quality being in 2020. Time to finally get a new email address with Gmail and short Yahoo’s stock..Version: 6.4.2

MediocreNotification badges never clear properly after new emails are read. Incoming emails often delayed..Version: 6.2.9

Yahoo mailToo many ads!!!.Version: 6.0.6

TerribleUpdate: The original complaints have stopped, but I still don’t like it. I get the same spam over and over again...Squarespace is about to delete my nonexistent account and I have to update my credit information. I send every email to Spam and I’ve been doing it for at least a year. Does Spam mean anything? Is there no way for Yahoo to stop our spam? Also, if I send an email to 3 people and one responds, I read it and delete it. Another responds and both of the responses show up. I deleted the first one; why is it there? I delete them both, and the 3rd person responds, so all 3 responses show up. I end up with a whole line of emails when all I want to do is see the most recent. Why doesn’t “delete” mean “delete?” Original: Whenever I get an email with something to open, I just get a blank screen. For instance, I tried to add another email address, but had to change the password for that address. When I got the change the password email and clicked on it, I couldn't do it because I got a white screen with Only the time on top. Same happens if I get an attachment, coupon, etc. All I can do with this app is open word emails. One plus is I don't get the "Rate it" popup I was constantly getting before, in which I rated it many times and nothing was improved..Version: 6.41.0

Going downhillI’ve had a yahoo email address for many years, but the latest update (Dec22) is doing my head in. Every time I try to add an attachment, the app says the file is too large. This is for photo files, which show as a 1.7mb full file size on my phone, or a PDF, which was less than 1mb in size. Other smaller attachments, which I am forwarding, are not being received by people. To add further frustration, I then am requested to pay for help to resolve this. Please fix this. It’s not an improvement - it’s a defect!.Version: 7.5.1

Ads in my inbox AwfulI hate this app. I don't want ads in my inbox. Nor do I want to pay a subscription to go ad free. Impossible to navigate.Version: 4.19.1

UselessEvery time this app updates it gets worse, if it’s not swamping you with ads it’s freezing up no matter how many times you refresh or reinstall and if you want to see any unread emails you have to change pages instead of just seeing the highlighted dot next the email, in the inbox ( much quicker and easier)then there’s the emails that just disappear for a few days after you send them or read them and now after the latest update I can’t open any emails that are older than a few days old, fix this garbage please I need to see my old emails, another service provider is looking like the better option..Version: 6.23.1

The mail pro is only working on one email accountI am an AT&T customer for wireless, home internet, etc. I have been paying the annual subscription for several years to have the mail pro benefits, mainly no ads. I have multiple email accounts I use, all AT&T, under my home internet account. Prior to the last app update, I wasn't seeing ads on any of these email accounts. Now, it's only the primary one. If I try to turn them off, it tells me that feature is only available through that primary email and wants me to pay a per month amount to remove the ads on the other accounts. Is this an intentional change or accidental with the last update? Because if it's intentional, I'll be finding another app to use and will cancel my subscription. I pay enough to AT&T already and I don't feel that I should have to pay for each email address. It's ONE app. Other apps, if you subscribe, then it's for the whole app. ---Edit--- I have reduced my rating to one star. I contacted Yahoo support and could not get a straight answer. All I got was the run around with him talking in circles and basically saying all my subscription applies to is the one email address I signed up under. It makes me mad that I'm paying to remove ads on an app but now they want me to pay for each email address used in that app. I will be finding another app and will cancel my annual subscription..Version: 6.49.1

Too many repetitive irrelevant adsApp works ok but the ads that are now in the middle of the email list instead of the top banner are annoying. I thought all these things were meant to be clever & the marketing was meant to target ads towards our individual searches, lifestyle & interests? All I ever get is insurance, funeral plans & dating apps or cars (& I don’t even drive!), none of these things are remotely connected to things I search for or have an interest in. When you send feedback about the ads it makes no difference to them being shown again & again. I don’t want to see funeral info every day it’s depressing & having to scroll through them to see the rest of my messages is v irritating..Version: 6.50.0

Something isn’t workingJust got the app and I can’t even sign into my email, half the keyboard is off my screen so I’m unable to type my email and password. I’ve been trying for 10 minutes but I’m growing frustrated. I hope this issue is fixed.Version: 6.2.6

Push notificationNot working!.Version: 4.19.1

Flexibility and formatResponding to emails with multiple threads are a nightmare especially when using email on iPhone. Often Tend to reply on wrong or outdated thread or respond to the incorrect response on the thread. For instance if two people have responded and the you need to respond to the first person, it will reply to the second person’s reply which is the latest on thread. Further you can’t change subject on an already initiated email thread..Version: 7.5.1

Buggy with AdsI’ve used yahoo mail for 10+ years and the features which have recently driven me crazy are the intrusive ads,the way they interact with the page, and spam email management. The app has issues formatting properly when deleting emails as it attempts to reorganize and keep ads in front of you. Sort or delete emails too fast and the page will jump or skip while reformatting causing the wrong emails to be selected often. I don’t have this problem on gmail or outlook, which I also use daily. Yahoo has also put features behind a paywall which other mail services allow for free such as blocking of specific domains. You are limited to 3-5 if I remember right, and have to pay if you want to add more. The amount of spam and phishing emails I get through my yahoo account is exponentially higher than I get through my other email services and because I cannot constantly add new domains to my blocked list. If you’re willing to pay for the premium features then maybe the app is decent, but the free version is horrible compared to other email services’ free apps..Version: 7.11.0

DissappointedI have had nothing but trouble and even been charged to have faults remedied to still find an issue when trying to simply sync my emails on different devices. I paid a fee to have problems solved and then found that I was getting further problems, yes I know there is always a reason but it should be simpler to do certain functions like sync emails between my desktop laptop and phone when they are all Apple and suppose to be bullet proof. What’s the answer, how do I sync my emails and not have to constantly delete and rearrange emails on multiple devices?????? HELP PLEASE..Version: 4.33

Killed my battery life!I have used the app since 2012 and never had any issues until a week ago. It took an hour to drain my battery completely which got me looking at my usage. One one 24 hr cycle, Yahoo mail app screen on time was 6mins and screen off time +7hrs!! My phone was really hot to touch and to a point where I could only make one phone call for my phone to go flat. I deleted the app two days ago and have had no issues since. I am really disappointed as yahoo is my only personal email and now I can’t access it on my iPhone. Hate giving this app a 1 star as I did enjoy the app - it was easy to use and uncomplicated..Version: 4.34.1

Service needs improvement:Signing up for an Ad free business service, and a few years later finding out Yahoo has started to target personalized ads in my inbox is very disappointing and dishonest way of making additional money off of your already paying customers. I rather have paid a rate increase, than a policy change that fetches my data, and Targets ads to me. Also, on one of the Yahoo updates, Yahoo completely stopped supporting email aliases that started with a numerical digit. One of my main email aliases that I had used for hundreds of login accounts, was deleted by yahoo without warning, which locked me out of dozens of service providers that I had used that email to create my accounts, with no way for me to recover those account without the old email address. And in most technsupport cases, after navigating the labyrinth of robots, the process of getting to a human tech support is very timely and frustrating. The only reason I stayed with Yahoo biz mail was the fact that all my clients have this email and I have a history of emails I dont want to loose, but I will never recommend this service to anyone until the service quality improves..Version: 7.25.0

DOES NOT WORK!!!!This app is appalling. It is utter rubbish. Do not get it under any circumstances. Yahoo, GET OFF YOUR **** AND SORT THIS OUT! This app was very poor to begin with and has got worse and worse with every so called update. Can we PLEASE go back to accessing yahoo through the native iPhone mail app, which worked perfectly well. It's totally unacceptable that I can't access my mail properly on my phone. Even writing this review is a pain because basics don’t work properly like the Apple predictive corrections - these work perfectly on every other app I have but not Yahoo mail! I would give this zero stars if I could. I keep sending this kind of feedback but nothing ever happens to improve it, it just gets worse. AAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!.Version: 4.32

New formatI do not like the new format, icons are hard to understand, I’ve tried to delete one email from American Express 10 times but will not go to trash reappears all the time.Version: 6.1.2

SpamToo much spam.Version: 4.37

No older version optionIt used to be good until I lost access to all my emails with their not having provided the option to download an older app version for us with older phones. If all the other competing email apps can do it, why can’t a major app such a yahoo do the same for its customers? The online version isn’t even half as useful. In fact I have almost given up and considering switching back to another provider. Please yahoo, do something about this. I’m no doubt not the only one..Version: 7.10.1
