Amazing
Would recommend to anyone. Please add iCloud email support soon!! Everything else is perfect. Thank you, Extra!
I have every productivity app, this is the best
I literally cannot believe this is free, this product brings the best from every app and packs it into one. I legit can’t live without this
Filter the noise
A true assistive email client that makes sense of the email noise and surfaces just what matters.
Good idea, needs a lot of work
As a concept, Extra is great. You’re going to help me not miss the important stuff? You’re going to help prioritize all of this nonsense so it becomes less overwhelming? Fantastic. However. The notifications use AI to give the headsup on what they’re about. This would be great…but the AI is not ready for prime-time and reads 90% of them wrong. “Person X wants you to do this.” Um. No, actually, they don’t. “Person X expects you to do this.” No, that was last week. You’ve mistaken the e-mail chain for a new e-mail. “You sent this to Person X. Now we wait.” No, we don’t. We’re done. There is no facility to help train the AI in reading comprehension nor is there a way to turn off the AI providing this “service.” And when I contacted support to ask if there was a way to help with this…I got nothing. It’s been over a week and nothing. And if I turn off notifications, well, that’s a great deal of the usefulness of the product gone. So the app is fatally flawed (unless you like the anxiety that comes with each notification reading like a new unfinished task) and most troubling, support is non-existent. Removed access. Deleted account. A pity.

It’s challenging
I loved v2, even though categories didn’t allow me to create my own, but the ability to find shipping products in the age of Amazon was powerful. Instead of fixing categories they eliminated them, yes the today screen is more robust, but it stills important items that were deleted a while ago
Reminders are now crazy, I get them on my iPad but not my phone and I can’t see the whole text, so it’s broken again for me
The assistant is now worse and argues like a 6 year old telling me I have no reminder at a specified time, even though I see the exact reminder on the reminder tab
This, for me, is not progress

Amazing
Watched a video of the founder on TikTok ages ago and saved it. So happy the app is now available - the fact that it can summarise/ compartmentalise different types of emails / tracking is amazing !!
Great concept - limited use for Apple users
Only for Gmail and Outlook users. It will not work for Apple users with iCloud email. This limits who can use it. Great concept but useless for me.
UI is phenomenal, UX is *almost* there.
*Edit: email deletion issue seemed to be an issue on my end and has been remedied 👏🏽. Now I just need a way to use the AI features to look out for specific things/context/etc. without having to reprint each morning - job application status updates or interview requests, grad school acceptance emails, or emails from my mom which she rarely sends but might not be flagged as “notable” in the app. Since Extra provides a roundup of what it feels is most pressing, I get paranoid and still find myself pulling up the actual Gmail app to check to see if it missed anything in these categories, which is ultimately counterintuitive.*
I absolutely love this take on a design- and function-first, AI enabled email wrapper. I found Extra on accident after signing up to a waitlist to learn more about the builders’ next planned project release. Did some digging into the company and found my way here. The only serious issue I have with the app is that I can’t actually delete the emails from their OG inbox when I hit the trash can from within Extra - it only removes it from the task list for the day on Extra’a side of things. So I end up having to open the Gmail app along side Extra and going back and forth between the two if I want to delete anything. That feels like a no-brainer that I can’t quite convince myself to even call a feature upgrade. I’ve only connected a couple Gmail inboxes, so I can’t say if this is possible with other account connections. If I could use this app to not only support my desire for neuroaesthetics in app design, but also to support my pipe dream of reaching ‘inbox zero’ one day, I’d say Extra could level up to a perfect 10/10.

Bugs Bugs
Kindly address these issues. I have repeatedly checked a concert notification, at least ten times, but it continues to reappear as if I have not acknowledged it. Additionally, I have spent two days attempting to create a folder, but I consistently encounter an error message stating, "Something happened." I would appreciate your assistance in resolving these bugs.

Support of iCloud email
Good app. It will be great if it supports iCloud mail.
The BEST - and I have tried a lot
Really impressive ai email app - flawless categorization and a Today window with summaries and priority emails. I can finally stop using Gmail - this app is 10 times better.
Erratic for me
I love the app, the Today is amazing. And so are categories, when they work, which is 1/10 for me. The Handle it feature has promise but I have to remind it daily to schedule my daily reminders.
Junk mail handling is impossible.
I really only use “Today” since it works and use Canary, for email

Loving this app!
Great evolving app; participative community.
Great Potential, Buggy As Hell
This app shows an incredible amount of promise, but there are certain things holding it back enough that you wouldn’t want to rely on this app as your email client or AI assistant.
First off, the app only works with Gmail or Microsoft Outlook right now. That includes calendars. It doesn’t interact with Apple Calendar or Apple Reminders. Being an iPhone app, that was very surprising and disappointing to me.
The app has a lot of bugs in it still, but the developer team seems responsive and is constantly pushing out new versions with bug fixes. Unfortunately, there are many bugs they have yet to get to.
I also have some concerns about privacy regarding this app. To use the app, you have to grant it full access to your Gmail or Microsoft Outlook email. I was shocked at the information it was able to put together about me, my family, and my home life just from my emails. This would be of particular concern if the company making this app was to be acquired, which I think is a likely scenario.
I question whether this app will be necessary once Apple rolls out Siri AI in iOS 27. It seems to share a lot of the same features that Apple showed off in the forthcoming Siri AI.
Still, for those people who aren’t primarily locked in the Apple ecosystem, this app is one to keep your eyes on. Once it matures, it could be a very useful AI assistant for your email and schedule.

Email app
I like what it does. But it doesn't clean up my google email or my outlook. As for some reason I have 2k plus emails and Google and outlook don't have a easy delete and button.

Help you read the important mail
Sorts mail into urgent vs unimportant mail. Saves a lot of time

I’m having trouble getting the “unsubscribe in seconds “ feature to work. It says that it’s syncing, but it’s been 12 hours and still not done
Great but slow
This app is really well designed and turns out to be the app I didn’t know I needed. It’s not a deal breaker but the assistant is very slow to engage with. Even with simple tasks. Overall great app.
Time saver
Extra has been saving me so much time! Auto-responses in my voice, reminders on what needs to be done. Also love the fresh and fun design.
A new approach
It took a day or two but got the hang of a new mindset with an AI agent on top of things 24/7. I have turned off Google email and calendar notifications and am now receiving everything via Extra. I like calendar integration where I tell Extra to create events
