Senseless
Can’t make head or tail of it. Keeps asking me stupid questions. Is this a boat? Whitelist this email? No idea.
Great way to isolate newsletters
This is a great app to organize your newsletters with. The customer support is awesome. They treat the free members very well - we're not ignored. Not having your regular inbox littered with newsletters is great.

Great to see an unbiased news source!
Can’t add my newsletter accounts
This app has cherry picked its own newsletter sources. I was unable to search and add my newsletters from food, entertainment and news. Not worth the time or money.
Does one thing, well.
I’ve been using this app for several months. It amounts to a dedicated inbox for email subscriptions, which I had previously set up in my Apple Mail app by establishing a separate email address for such things.
This is one of those apps that you would like to be able to give 4.5 stars. It’s very useful, but could use a couple of improvements, which I’ll mention later. But if it never gets them, it’s still a good app to have, so five stars it is.
The big advantage Newsletterss has over my previous practice is that I don’t have to go to my Mail app & find the appropriate inbox. The app sits right there on my iPad & iPhone home page, and is grouped with other related apps I read in, such as Feedly, Pocket and Instapaper. Or I can go to the internet browser site, but I don’t tend to read on my computer (I use Instapaper/Pocket or sometimes PushToKindle for reading I discover on the net.)
Recently, the developer has added a couple of functionalities to the iOS apps that previously only existed on the web browser site - or at least I just noticed them. The app will retain deleted newsletters for up to 10 days, and it allows you to view either only your unread newsletters, or all newsletters which haven’t been deleted.
So what else would I like to see? Well, the subscription list in the app only lists the subscriptions for which there is a current undeleted newsletter in the All/Unread category. So if you have a newsletter from a source where you have deleted all the newsletters, it’s not in the subscription list. The deleted list which retains newsletters for 10 days would be more useful if it retained them longer. You can’t restore deleted newsletters to the All/Unread categories, although they are available for the 10 days so that’s something. There is also no way to save specific newsletters aside from not deleting them. (Some of these things strike me as resource intensive on the developer’s side, though, so I don’t really expect to see those…)
But these are mere quibbles. This is an app which I am happy to pay for.

Gets the job done
I use it to subscribe to my favorite newspapers
A useful place for the higher volume, less personal messages
I especially like how it eliminates all the header information of email newsletters when reading the message itself. Next would be to eliminate the footer stuff, too. Lots of potential here, and the feedback form already shows a very responsive developer. I recommend getting on board with this useful tool. It makes it easier and a joy to be subscribed to more email newsletter content than I can generally tolerate in my email.

Too limited
Like others I was looking for a way to get my $ub$stack subs in one spot. This is only for corporate newsletters, not sure how they are chosen. None of the ones I subscribe to are on here. It looks easy and organized if you want someone else to choose what you read.
Not easy to remove old posts and clutter
It’s great to put all your newsletters in one place, but it should be much easier to remove a huge backup of them, which is without individually selecting every entry and swiping them into deletion.
If I go without reading or removing them, then my inbox quickly fills with tens, of not over a hundred entire that are not easy to glance or sort.
So… this discourages me from adding more subscriptions and letting it get even more out of control.
Plus, I never know if a source will dump entry after entry and unexpectedly clutter the mailbox. That can cause me to unsubscribe, rather than deal with the hot mess.

Response from developer
Hello DJ, thanks for your feedback. An update that allows multiple messages to be selected and deleted simultaneously has just been released. We will continue to iterate and improve this feature, I hope you can give us another chance in the future.
Clean and efficient
Nice job sw engineers. Now leave it alone!
