Reviews for FairEmail, privacy aware email

← Back to FairEmail, privacy aware email

Loving this app!! I've been searching for an alternative to K-9 and have finally found it! Only a few small issues I can't seem to find info about. Is there a way to reduce the font sizes in the account list? Also, is there a way to further reduce message list fonts... just a little smaller than "small" would be perfect. Thanks for creating this app!!

Been using app for a month or so, and overall am satisfied. To earn 5 stars, the developer needs to make customizing the settings easier. I've searched for days to find how to change some settings (e.g. identity) w/o success. I haven't even found how to access settings yet, so a good starting point would be to add a settings icon in the app. Next, write instructions in complete sentences, rather than stuccato-style (e.g., "Setup, step 1, Manage, tap account"). But if the auto-setup works and is to your liking, then the app should meet most of your needs.

I've been using FairEmail for about a year and it's been absolutely perfect for my needs. It's completely usable out of the box, but also offers a lot of customization that suits my use of many folders and aliases in a way that no other app I've tried has been able to. The fact that it's open source and free (or very reasonably priced for Pro) is the icing on the cake and sets it apart. Fantastic work!

Great Email app! It takes a few uses to understand the layout but once I got it, I uninstalled Spark mail (which I've used for a couple of years because they went to a subscription model). FairEmail doesn't require a subscription so I have been more than happy with it. Only thing is I cant figure out how to purchase the pro version. Overall, great alternative to other email apps.

As some have pointed out, there is a lot of settings/options to go through. But who said you have to do all of them at once? Make a point to do a page (or half/part a page) a day, and before you know it, you'll eventually either become familiar with many opts, or have made the necessary changes you needed. It is near impossible to meet the wide variety of needs and taste without a lot of setting options. I was able to set up Fairmail to allow me to mind the new emails--thats all "I" need.

This, in my opinion, is a first rate brilliant piece of work! I have used the free version long enough to see that it is worth, (again my opinion), what he's asking for the pro version so I happily paid. I don't do or say that very often so my hat's off to the developer on this one. The instructions are easy to follow and setup. You can easily see any or all of the email just by clicking on the part or pic you wish to see. Well done sir.

Fantastic email app for Android! I've been frustrated with the VERY LIMITED Google Gmail app for years. I tried a few other top rated email apps that still weren't for me. I finally tried this app. At first I was apprehensive because the initial setup was a little convoluted, but I patiently got through it. Wow, I'm glad I did! This is the best email app for Android I've seen! Very simple and easy to use once you figure it out. Very easy to add folders. Very customizable. Definitely a keeper!

I've been using the app for years and it's just fantastic. Lots of options of desired, but you can use it pretty much default as well. It does everything I need and does it securely. The developer is extremely supportive when I've had questions. The only issues I've ever had have been due to when Google and Microsoft changed my account settings on their end. The app has remained flawless.

I've tried a few mail clients recently, and settling with this one. It has lots of configuration to tweak, which can be both a good thing (for advanced users) and a negative (for regular users). Luckily you don't really need to dive into the settings if you're a regular user, and if you want to tweak things you can. It has privacy and tracking protection by default. I probably won't use many if any Pro features, but this app is worth a bit of your local currency anyway to show some support!

Over-&-Above technical support by the creator of FairEmail, Marcel. I wanted to display messages grouped in an uncommon way. Marcel listened and patiently provided interactive guidance which ultimately satisfied my need. I'm still learning the FairEmail App, but what I've seen so far is impressive. The default settings are fine and generally don't need to be changed. But if you like something a certain way, I'll bet there's a setting to customize it to your liking. Highly recommended.

exceptional support, highly customizable app. There are so many tweaks and settings to make it the way you want, or you can just use the default settings. Wiyh the backup/ restore feature you can be back up in no time. I rarely buy apps if theres a free option, but I purchased the lifetime subscription to support this developer since it's that good!

I used Bluemail for years but should have switched a long time ago. FairEmail is far superior! After a few weeks of use, I paid for the pro version to help support the developer. I was a bit concerned with the layout at first, but after a few tweaks, I'm very pleased with FairEmail. Give it a chance! The interface is very intuitive and the instructions are excellent. I'm glad that problems with Bluemail sent me in search of a replacement.

Best email app I've used. love the unified inbox, easy to view spam messages (other apps didn't have the option) Two years later, the developer is still extremely helpful. I emailed him about an issue (user error) and he responded literally one minute and 31 seconds (going by [sent] times). If that's not good support from a developer, I don't know what is.

App works really well. I bought the Pro version for some of the extra goodies, like the fingerprint unlocking and to also support the developer. I believe people should be paid for their hard work. While it does have many settings that can be tweaked, that is optional. Like the developer has mentioned numerous places, you really only need to do the 3 step wizard to get up and running quickly. Job well done!

As far as I'm concerned, I'll use this app forever. Best damn client on Android. It has a wizard to help you set up and tips/explanations throughout. Remarkable. Tons of settings. I'm not a tech wizard though. Changed only a few settings. Never needed to change those expert settings; app still runs well. If you are an expert, you'll love this app. It fetches mail quickly and tries its best to protect your security and privacy at every step. Heartily recommend.

I have zero complaints about the speed or reluability of FairEmail. It's faster than Thunderbird. My issues are with the overabundance of options and the UI. There are a lot of options in the settings. It's almost overwhelming. I'd like to see a simple settings menu with the ability to toggle more advanced options. The UI is cluttered. It's hard to tell what the various icons mean at a glance. The default font is small. I'd start at a medium size for users.

Fair Email is a solid, reliable app for reading email while protecting myself from a deluge of ads and trackers. It took me a little while to get used to the structure and formatting of emails without graphics, but I like the bare-bones look better because it is less distracting and makes it easier to focus on content. Update: I have been using Fair Email for at least 5 years, and am still as pleased as I can be with it! I plan to continue using it for the foreseeable future. Thank you!

IMHO the day that Gmail started putting ads in their mobile email client (which you cannot uninstall on most phones) is the day FairEmail became the best email client for Android. Aside from being as ad-free as any email inbox can be, its functionality (at least, if you decide to contribute to its prolonged existence on the Play Store) puts it on par with Classic Outlook for desktop. This is truly the best email client I've used in a long time.

Awesome, very solid email app. Performs flawlessly for 13 email accounts for me, and the unified inbox is a lifesaver for me. There is a ton of customization you can do to make the app work exactly the way you want it to, which I absolutely love. I recently ran into a minor bug, and I emailed the developer and they worked with me to track down the bug and then fixed it immediately. Incredibly professional and helpful! I have the pro version, and it is worth every penny and more.

I've used this for years. Finally bought the pro upgrade, just to reward the developer. It already handled all my needs in the free version. I carry about 10 email addresses from all my domains and this makes things easy. I originally gave this a 4star, since I feel nothing is perfect, and the developer immediately asked for what I would like to see to make it perfect. I couldn't come up with a thing. thanks for the reality check Marcel
