Overpriced and Frustrating
I’ve been using Chuck for several years, so I know the app inside and out. Unfortunately, the pricing has become ridiculous—$3.99 to $8.99 per month, which adds up to over $100 per year. That’s absurd for an email app. I’ve paid for premium email services before, like $30/month for Superhuman, and even that wasn’t worth it. Chuck should offer a discount to long-term users like me who’ve supported the app for years.
On top of that, the app has serious functionality issues. If you link your email accounts to Chuck and later download it on another device (like a MacBook) or reinstall it on your phone, you have to relink all your accounts manually. The app doesn’t remember your linked accounts, and nothing syncs between devices.
Another issue is that blocking or unsubscribing from senders doesn’t seem to work—I still get emails from senders I’ve already blocked or unsubscribed from, which is beyond frustrating.
Finally, the “sort by sender” feature has a bug and doesn’t work properly. This is a basic feature that should function flawlessly in an app you’re paying for.
Chuck used to be a solid app, but between the outrageous pricing and these persistent issues, it’s no longer worth it. Long-term users like me deserve better.
