I’m going to change my account to yahoo or gmail. ### 1/5 — 0/10 *2026-09-01, version 7.63.0* Just been told I have to upgrade my phone to iso 17 to carry on using. I can’t afford to buy a new phone and my hospital appointments for my bowl cancer are through e-mails. ### 1/5 — 30 odd years *2026-09-01, version 7.63.0* I had been using AOL Mail for over 30 odd years then find today l can no longer access my emails due to their upgrade. No warning no nothing just did it. Not everyone can afford to go out and get a new phone just like that. Thank You AOL …. for nothing. ### 1/5 — Ad covers entire app *2026-09-01, version 7.86.0* Ad now cover the entire screen preventing me from viewing emails with no way to dismiss the ad. Have already placed a one star review, why has that been deleted? Update, why?, why does an email app need to ask permission to store cookies, why is an email app even using cookies? Some good news, the adverts stopped a few months ago so i haven't updated the App since, why would i want to restore the adverts? Update 31st Aug 2026, just opened the app to be greated with a message telling me the version i am using is no longer supported, i am being forced into an update, i expect when i do update it that the adverts will come back, nice one aol. Yep, as expected, the banner adverts are back taking up a quarter of the screen, yay! ### 3/5 — This sucks! *2026-09-01, version 7.86.0* No idea where my contact list is located, no instructions on how to find. Can’t even find basic details. Would love to go back to original version. Is there a simple tutorial? ### 1/5 — That’s not right *2026-09-01, version 7.59.6* My tablet can not be updated to that level and it will not allow me to access my contacts or mail. This is not right with no notice of change that really sucks and you know it!!! ### 1/5 — Access *2026-09-01, version 7.86.0* I can’t get emails to reset password when need to update ### 1/5 — New update to app *2026-09-01, version 7.59.6* Your new update forces people to buy a new phone that will support iOS 17. Also, I was just put on hold indefinitely because you could not send me a secondary verification of my paid account. Not good! ### 1/5 — OUTRAGEOUS!!! *2026-09-01, version 7.63.0* I’m am extremely angry and annoyed that I can no longer access my emails with AOL! Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest phone to update to the newest iOS!!! Shame on you AOL and APPLE for ruining people’s lives and choices to not contribute to the sick social media world that’s the major contributor to the disposable society that fills landfills with perfectly good phones. New does not improve anything but it does cause real harm to real people who should not be forced to replace the things they work so hard to pay off. Perpetual debt for corporate greed. AOL should be ashamed!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-09-01, version 7.86.0* Too many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Overrun with rubbish *2026-09-06, version 7.86.0* It would be ok except for the annoying advertisements that you can’t turn off. No matter how many times I delete this rubbish it still reappears ### 1/5 — Don't panic *2026-09-05, version 7.86.0* Everyone, just add AOL to Apples Mail app, you can still access your emails that way. Just forget about the AOL email app and it's in-your-face adverts. ### 1/5 — New AOL update not compatible for my iPhone *2026-09-04, version 7.63.0* I have been using AOL for emails since 1995 I am now unable to use this on my iPhone as I do not have iOS 17 or later to use the latest AOL update on my phone. I will now have to use an alternative email provider and change my email address which I have used for over 30 years. I am utterly disappointed with AOL I WILL AWARD YOU NO STARS ### 1/5 — Bemusing *2026-09-04, version 7.35.4* It is frozen ### 1/5 — Impossible *2026-09-04, version 7.63.0* I can’t download the new version as requires IOS17, my phone only has 16.7 available to get ### 1/5 — New aol *2026-09-04, version 7.63.0* I’ve had aol for decades now all of a sudden I need a better phone to receive my emails .
