  • Helped me

    I needed to open an ¿archive? of outlook messages on a Mac. This worked easily. My rating would have been 5 star if either it had more powerful search commands or it let me use houdahspot or similar programs.
  • Works perfectly

    How happy I am when every single time I reach for this app to review some wierd email and its attachments, it works perfectly. Great tool in my arsenol.
  • Just what I needed

    I wanted to go through a bunch of emails relating to a work dispute. This small app does the job perfectly.
  • It works but it crashes pretty regularly

    For the most part it's fine and does its job. But it crashes a lot.
  • Firmshell's MSG Viewer Pro is a Mac Necessity for Outlook Files

    While it doesn't offer drag and drop, it still works amazingly. For improvement, Ms. Liu, maybe offer a life and dark mode, and a way to see the files on the actual app.

    Way to go, loving it! Works great on Ventura OS (again, no drag-n-drop, but I am okay with it).
  • Just What I Needed

    A lot of my co-workers use Windows based PCs and when sharing emails through out systems, I end up with a ton of .msg files that I can't open, and it drives me crazy because I have to ask them to change it to a PDF, resend it to me, blah, blah, blah. Now I can skip that and get straight to the point. Best business cost I've incurred in a long time.

  • Good App - however high cost and app crashes

    Good and useful App, -1 star for the high cost to install and -1 star for the fact that the app has a habit of crashing a couple of times a day. If the App had a lower cost then the crashing would be more acceptable. Overall good App though.
  • Amazing product

    Why Microsoft and Apple can't work together and make it possible to open emails on either machine is beyond me.

    However, this is an amazing app. I was using a free trial of another and almost purchased today for $18.99 - but a quick search on the app store and this appeared.

    Not only was it cheaper, but it is far more responsive and the fact that I can reply/forward the msg emails is immense.

    Very happy with this. Very happy.

  • Works but very unstable

    The program does fill the bizarre gap left by Microsoft not making Outlook for Mac capable of reading files produced by Outlook for Windows, but it has the most annoying habit of quitting unexpectedly every other document. This is problematic when you need to review a large number of .msg files. It's easier to use it in quick view mode.

  • Works great - with templates too!

    My employer only distibutes and supports Windows-based computers but allows employees to BYO computers and devices, so long as the Microsoft MDM/Company Portal software is installed. As a avid Mac user, I've struggled when provided with customer-facing email templates from Marketing in the windows .oft format.

    Using Msg View Pro, I can now open those .oft files (Outlook for Windows email template files), save them to .eml format (Outlook for Mac message file), then open that message in Outlook for Mac and "Save As Template" from the file menu. And it works perfectly without any formatting disruption to the original template, including any embedded HTML graphic links.

    Maybe one day the developer of this app will include a direct export from .oft (Outlook for Windows email template) to .emltpl (Outlook for Mac email template) but I'm satisfied with the present solution even with having to take the extra step and do that myself. It's a very minor inconvenience.

    I'm thrilled I no longer need to ask a Windows user colleague to open the template, address the email to me and send back, and then clean up the file and save as a Mac-friendly template. Saves me from the delay, all the clean up, and of course prevents me from having to inconvenience others.

    One would think Microsoft would have gotten past this incompatibility by now like they have with most other office files that open seamlessly across the two OS platforms.
