  • BEST app for Email Cleanup & Unsubscribing!

    I just tried this app for the first time recently and it is by far the easiest, fastest way or app to delete & unsubscribe from emails that you do not want or spam emails that you would like to get rid of!!!! All you have to do is either swipe right or left or up and boom the emails are gone and unsubscribed from! There is also an option to tap buttons instead of swiping. I have tried many or almost all other apps like this type of app for cleaning up email and again this is by far the quickest best one yet!!! Thank you Cleanfox for making it so easy and fast to get rid of the spam emails that feel like they never end sometimes! I highly recommend this app for all your email clean up needs. Great app.

  • BEWARE

    I got this App after reading several reviews stating how good it was at “cleaning” designated junk mail.

    I fed it one Yahoo Mail account initially and then about 3 weeks later a second email.

    Seemed to work OK although it was hard to tell what it was actually doing and I think it only runs intermittently or on some “every 5-10 day” frequency. Which is OK.

    Fast forward about 8 weeks and I went into my first email account and Emails I had just into new folders just a week prior were GONE! They were important travel confirmations. I panicked. Looking around, I found some 1000 emails in my TRASH folder. I’ve had this Yahoo account for some 30 years and never had an issue. Until I installed Cleanfox.

    First time, and not knowing what happened and not sure if it was a Yahoo glitch, I salvaged those 1000 emails out of TRASH - some I put back into their original folders, others I moved to Archive. 5 days or so later, THEY WERE ALL BACK IN TRASH!!!

    I’ve since removed Cleanfox from all my devices and the “auto deletion” (rather random I might add and can say for sure that these latest travel emails were not ones I had flagged with Cleanfox) seems to have stopped.

    In fairness, I will know better in another month if Cleanfox was the culprit.

    But any new users - suggest trying this in some account first.

    Not a pleasant situation!

  • Does what it says

    I have tried quite a few apps that claim they clean up your email when in reality they don’t do a thing. I gotta tell you this app does what it says now I had over 50,000 emails and it’s taking a little bit of time to do it but it is doing it. Thank you so much for providing a free and let me say again free email cleaner.

  • Simple but Superb!

    super easy and helpful and actually really motivating to share and continue using because the “message” to Share to Friends is: “invite others to help save the planet by deleting emails” or something like that and I really love it. And Overall, I love this app’s setup/layout and structure or whatever, and it’s super easy to use. I’ve trued other “email cleaning” apps/services and so far, I think this one is better than the rest. i will say, however, that for me it does take some strength/effort to swipe sometimes, but that might just be me.

  • Good job

    Unfortunately someone who hacked my devices has been able to link an apple site into your app or maybe there is a block of some sort on my devices but I am still unable to scan my other email address that has been hacked. Unfortunately I don’t know how to access or make necessary changes to allow for the scan to take place. I do thank you for helping me with this issue though. I am 74 and though I use an iPad and iPhone I don’t know how to prevent bad things from happening. I do have your wonderful app, the Norton app as well as the McAfee app. I’m doing the best I know how to keep safe.

    Thank you,
    Sharon

  • Just What I Needed

    This app is great! It organizes my email making it easy to store, delete but still accept new ones, or delete an entire set of emails and not have them continue to email me. I don’t have many photos on my phone. I can easily delete the duplicates myself. I can clean up my own contacts too. This app may do more than deal with emails, but I have only been using it for a couple hours. I will update this review when I’ve learned more.

  • Waste of time

    I have no idea how this app has so many “5 star” reviews. I spent a few hours filtering through all the newsletters and at the end my stats said it would delete 35k emails and get rid of over 1k newsletters. After 4-5 days nothing seemed to change in my inbox so I reached out to support to ask if I needed to do anything else with my gmail account to give the app access so it could clean my inbox, and I got a canned response from the FAQ that it may take several days…yes I read the FAQ before reaching out that’s why I waited to ask for help! So I followed up again asking if 5+ days is normal, and how can I tell that it’s working? Will there by filters in my gmail account? Again I got a canned response from the FAQ that said they can only clean newsletters…cool that wasn’t my question.

    I turned off the foxintelligence settings but I still feel dumb for sharing so much info with this company. Also considering they can’t unsubscribe you, only send the emails to trash (I guess for people it actually worked for) it would be nice if you could download the list of companies that send you newsletters so you can go actually unsubscribe to them, otherwise they’ll just add you to new newsletters as they create new campaigns.

    Great idea, really awful execution and even worse support. Don’t waste your time, don’t believe the 5 star reviews.

  • Does the job

    I would recommend adding a visual preview of the emails on the swipe screen to jog the user’s memory. I might not recognize the name of the subscription, but it’s easier to determine if you need something by looking at it.

    Also, an Undo button should be added. Swiping is repetitive, and users may accidentally swipe the wrong direction. Having an undo button for up and right swipes would be useful.

  • Crashes Frequently

    The app is great it does what it sets out to do and for free, the only issue is it pretty frequently crashes. Because of that it loses my information and statistics. So I tried setting it all up again only for it to do the same thing, twice now.

    Basically I think it’s perfect for that initial purge but once you use it there’s no point in keeping it around. I can manually get rid of any new spam that comes in due to a lower frequency.

  • Just Doesn’t Work

    Downloaded the app with hopes of clearing and cleaning my email box. Took hours to go through deleting and keeping what I did and didn’t want. Finally finished and went to check my inbox to find that I still had the exact same amount of emails I had before. Spam comes pouring in at a constant rate. Gave it about a week to do its thing before leaving a review, and still no emails deleted and spam still pouring in. Seems like I just gave yet another app permission to look through my emails. It’s a shame.
