### 1/5 — Great features but app is unreliable and unusable

*2026-08-19, version 10.5.387*

I've used em client on Windows since it began and pay for it. Great features and design.  It is my favorite desktop email client by far.  It is also quite good on Android.

The iOS implementation which I run in iPad mini with iOS 26.6 is unusable. 

It freezes.  It doesn't send emails reliably.  It takes forever to download emails.  It's formatting goes weird, with message headers in the account view inexplicably indented at random.  I need a reliable, predictable, stable email client for my work.  

I'm very saddened that I have to go back to the inferior Gmail app.  

If anyone reads this, I suggest also that you find a way to implement the official Gmail API like Wundermail does.  It will affect problems to do with aliases (across the desktop Windows environment too).

Thanks to the team at em client, and I hope that you are able to get the iOS version to the same excellent standard of your Windows client.

### 1/5 — Come on

*2026-08-18*

There is no reason - none whatsoever - for A: inbox refreshes to take such a pathetically long time; and B: basic search to take such a pathetically long time. I have seen a number of “responses” from devs saying that it’s being worked on, but as of now that just seems to be a balloon full of air instead of anything of substance.

### 1/5 — No useful calendar

*2026-08-07*

I gave it a one star review to try to get the attention of the developers because they don’t seem to get it.  If we get a calendar link in an email, we can only put it in a stupid local Calendar on that device.   What use is that?  And their share option doesn’t go to Calendar, as any competent programmer would do.  Seems to be no way to add to your calendar.

### 1/5 — Calendar

*2026-07-01, version 10.5.292*

Can you improve the calendar? Now the calendar do not shows days number?

### 5/5 — Finally a better Mail client

*2026-06-01, version 10.4.5360*

so far the best proper email client I have come across for iOS. Previously I used K9 when I had Android.  eM Client is as good as K9. 
I did some tests to verify that the IMAP & SMTP connections were  sent from my IP address when using this client and these were, instead of being proxy through somebody else's service like so many other clients do.
I can actually see the full source of the emails and head as I so wish. Push notifications don't work unless you use the push notification through their servers, but unfortunately this is only limitation of iOS. So far so good.

### 4/5 — So much better than outlook

*2026-05-21*

Took off a star because there doesn’t seem to be a watch for reply option on mobile but otherwise this app is great, I’ve completely switched over from outlook which is nothing but frustrating. Also needs a way to create an event from a date in emails

### 5/5 — An Amazing Email Client

*2026-04-30*

This email program is the email program I've been looking for for years.  It's clean and modern looking,  full featured, and very easy to use.    

I love how easy it is to drag your emails wherever you need them from directly onto your desktop to placing them in whatever folders you have set up.  This was a several step process with my old email program.

If I had any complaints at all is that with no contact number or chat option, customer service is a little hard to come by.  The only option you have as a free customer is through email, but they have proven to be pretty responsive.

I'm thrilled to have stumbled across this email client.  It's exactly what I've been looking for and I'm really happy I found it.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with the app.

Our mobile app support contact information (mobile@emclient.com) is available both within the app and on the App Store, and we try our best to respond to all queries and implement fixes to the reported issues. Though, of course, as the app is offered free of charge, we cannot provide immediate responses, but we try to get back to anyone within a couple of days.

So please, if you give eM Client another try, do let us know which email account the SMTP issue was with, who the provider is, what errors you get inside eM Client, etc. - and we will try to help find a solution.

As alternate support channel options, you can always visit our public forum at https://forum.emclient.com, or our VIP support if you have a paid desktop license (support.emclient.com) and general email support (info@emclient.com).

We're here to help, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

### 1/5 — Will not work!

*2026-04-21, version 10.4.5360*

After trying numerous times & different methods, it refuses to set up. Useless!!

### 1/5 — No Customer Service

*2026-04-19, version 10.4.5357*

I wanted to love this email client.   I was looking for a simple to use program with a simple, modern appearance.   It had several other features that I wanted that my other email client was lacking.   I simply could not get my outgoing mail (SMTP) set up to work.  I spent over a solid days work researching things, ChatGPT and close to 3 hours in 3 separate calls seeking help from my internet provider to no avail.  That's fine.  Things sometimes happen.  The problem is is that this company has little to no direct customer support.   No phone number.  No chat.  There's only email and others have said that they either won't get back to you at all, or it takes forever.

This program has turned out to be more aggravating than it's worth.

### 3/5 — Problems with office365 ‘Outlook’ calendar

*2026-04-12, version 10.4.5267*

I’m a big fan of the emClient apps. However, since moving my email, calendars and contacts from iCloud to an Office365 ‘Outlook’ account the calendars no longer get synced fully. This is an iOS and a Windows desktop problem. I suspect Microsoft’s eternal changing of their protocols is to blame, but emClient needs to keep up. I had to move to the Outlook apps. No choice. It’s a shame.
