So frustrating
This app is terrible. When you sign up it has you crate a password. Then it continually makes you sign into your mailbox, and apparently doesn’t remember that you already created a password and asks you to do that again. And again. And again. Basically, it’s unusable, because it can’t even remember the password it just made for you that’s already saved to your settings.Show lessms423
Deceiving waste of time
It says that it “works” but not only does it only take you into your subscriptions once, but doesn’t do ANYTHING once it’s there. I still am subscribed to the same emails that Cleanfox supposedly unsubscribed me from. It didn’t even clear my messages. I had to do it manually.
And after three attempts it’s become clear that it will never work for my email again. Save yourself some time and just go through your emails and unsubscribe manually. It’ll be faster than trying to sync this waste of an app to your email anyway.Show lessZheAwesomePenguin
So easy a baby can do it!
They hold your hand and even send you to the Apple website to sign in and walk you through every step! It’s a very clean and organized looking app as well! The best thing about it is it does everything in the background so I can leave it open and wait to get an email when it’s done processing! A little bonus I thought was amazing is they have fun facts at the top about CO2 admissions and me being a green thumb this is truly amazing!

Doesn’t work; waste of time and privacy
Once I got everything set up (which took forever) I tried using it to unsubscribe from some of the companies I was getting emails from that I no longer use, but it did nothing. I still get emails from this companies and never got any emails saying I unsubscribed. With that, ever since I did that the app says my inbox is clear when it still full of the old and the new. This app is a piece of crap, don’t download it. It’s just a scam made to look at your private info through your emails. (Luckily I don’t even use the email I tried this with, but don’t risk it my dudes!) Waste of time and privacy!Show lessFairyTailLoverMRC2068
Tinder style app filled with false promises & broken dreams
Claims that it’ll unsubscribe and delete all the emails in your inbox, but it doesn’t actually remove any emails from your inbox. So there’s that.
Also, be careful when you swipe because you
cannot review the newsletters you’ve unsubscribed from. This app means well, but it falls extremely short of being a useful product for decluttering your inbox.Show lessCatsybaby
Works great one time
Deceiving you makes you believe that it will continue to monitor your mailbox diligently and, like unroll me used to do and has also lately completely been a fail, makes you believe that on a daily basis you will open this app and continue to sort through all this junk mail until eventually you will have a clean and sleek mail experience. Epic fail. It’s a one hit wonder. Works, sort of, one time and then asks for a quick 5 star rating. You’ve been suckered. Those emails aren’t even actually removed from your mailbox. The promise of unsubscribing you? A total joke. It literally made absolutely no difference in my mailbox other than, having started with yahoo, it moved legit emails that I swiped to keep- it moved everything to junk and deleted my entire mailbox. Because my gmail, frustrating as it is, does not have a delete all oprion when you select all, was spared. But literally nothing was done. Other that some mail I wanted moved to junk, very luckily not deleted. Do not use this app. False promises and I’ve lost emails probably of great importance. Shame on these developers. Epic fail.Show lessVampaliciousss
Nope!
Didn’t work. Need an app like this but this isn’t it. Scanned my email alright. It wanted to unsubscribe and delete email but wouldn’t let me keep it. It just didn’t give me an option to do so. Also, instructions and options are skimpy at best. Poorly written, poor documentation.
This app doesn’t seem to have been tested very well. Should be extensively tested with average people, not just using it a few times by the developer before releasing it. As my wife says, “people should look at their stuff (websites and apps) at least once a week.”Show lessReuters 5 Stars
I’ve been waiting for an app like this!
I’m notorious for having a million unopened unread emails in my personal email. No lie, I’m at 25,000 emails across three mailboxes. This app changed my life, as I was spending hours unsubscribing from newsletters only to find it didn’t work or I got 15 more before it canceled. This app is a one stop shop.Show lessJenniTirado
Didn't work and had an odd sign in process....
It didn't do anything. It was scanning for over 24 hours (still was before I uninstalled it). I deleted tons of emails via the app but they were actually never deleted. Also the way that they handle signing into the app and getting control of your email is VERY suspicious.... They force you to turn on 2 factor authentication (which is good to have on, but you shouldn't force people to do it). They also don't authenticate the right way. They do it through app passwords which I haven't seen done in years and isn't as secure and a super old way of doing things. Just be careful who you give your Google account access to!Show lessSteveo11284
Developer Response
Hello, We are sorry if the scan didn't work as expected. You might had a scan problem, which can be solved by deleting and recreating your account. The deletion in your inbox can take time, it's not immediate and the scan as to be finished to be effective, this can explain why you didn't see the changes in your inbox. The Google connexion process is more secure. Using an application password permits to not give your own password. Other providers are requiring the same connection process (iCloud, Yahoo). If you need help or want more information, you can send us an email at contact@cleanfox.io we'd be happy to answer. Thanks and have a great day, The Cleanfox teamJust Awesome!
Let me say I don't write reviews often but I felt the need for clean fox.... I've had the app for a few months and I obviously could get anything working... So I thought I'd just wait out the bug fixes and sure enough today working smooth and perfectboolove83
