### 4/5 — Works great, also displays attached images

*2026-01-01*

- save file to Files Downloads
- open file in Files
- Hit Share, then select XML Viewer
That's it. Well worth the $2.

**Developer response:** Thanks for using EML Viewer!

### 5/5 — Unkomplizierz

*2025-11-17*

Gekauft, geladen und erste Datei geöffnet. Genau was ich gesucht habe! Danke

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die Nutzung von EML Viewer!

### 5/5 — Hervorragende App, allerdings…

*2025-11-16*

… muss man sich ein bisschen in den Sachverhalt hinein arbeiten. Wie ihr Name schon sagt, öffnet sie nur Mails, die mit ihrer Endung auf eml enden. Ich wollte gerne einen exportierten Ordner von Mozilla Thunderbird öffnen, und zwar über eine ans Ipad angeschlossene SSD.. Das ging so nur teilweise, weil viele Mails in komplexen Ordnerstrukturen eingebunden sind und sich dann nicht öffnen lassen. Hier braucht man eine kostenlose Erweiterung in Mozilla Thunderbird, z.B. "ImportExportTools NG", die es - nachdem sie installiert ist und Mozilla Thunderbird neu gestartet wurde - ermöglicht, die gesamten Mails im eml-Format zu exportieren. Das geht dann wirklich einfach.  Und schon kann man mit dem EML Viewer die gesamten Mails schön nach Datum sortiert auf dem Ipad öffnen. Perfekt! Vielen Dank den Entwicklern!

**Developer response:** Ich freue mich, dass wir Teil der Lösung sein konnten, die Sie brauchten! Vielen Dank für die Verwendung des EML Viewer.

### 5/5 — Good App!

*2025-08-30*

This app works perfectly to open an email on my iPhone that was saved in “.eml” format using my Mac in an iCloud folder.

**Developer response:** Thanks for using EML Viewer!

### 5/5 — Works as advertised, but…

*2025-07-04*

Make sure you select “send a copy” (NOT “collaborate”) on the share menu when you want to send a file to EML viewer. Only when sending a copy you’ll see EML viewer as a target. Also: Don’t be disappointed that it doesn’t show Apple Mail attachments from Apple Mail .eml files that you created from archiving them to the Apple Files App. That’s not a bug in EML viewer, that’s a bug from Apple. Simply also drag the attachments from Mail to Files to archive them as well.

**Developer response:** Hello.  Thanks for using EML Viewer and leaving a review.  That's a good point on "Send a copy" we will update the instructions soon!

### 1/5 — App unbrauchbar

*2025-01-25*

Leider stürzt die App nur ab und ist damit unbrauchbar.

**Developer response:** Hallo. Vielen Dank für die Verwendung des EML-Viewers. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns über support@matrix-logic.com, damit wir weitere Details erhalten und Sie zum Laufen bringen können.

### 1/5 — Pessimo

*2024-11-16, version 2.6*

Non legge gli allegati quando sono firmati digitalmente. Soldi buttati.

### 5/5 — Öffnen von EML-Dateien auf dem iPhone

*2024-06-28*

Funktioniert wie gewünscht 🙂

### 5/5 — Works for Outlook eMail templates!

*2024-06-25*

It takes a couple of steps, but this apps works perfectily to open Outlook (for Mac) email templates on my iPad Pro 2024.  It was not clear how to do that in the app and I got detailed customer support within one day - and they said the coming update will make it easier to see how to use it for Outlook templates. So stoked as that was the huge missing piece for being able to work on the road with just my iPad.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-02-26*

It’s perfect

**Developer response:** Thanks for using EML viewer!
