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
Great App
This is a great app for email. After trying them all, this one seems truly innovative. Still missing Apple calendar integration, hopefully will come soon.
Almost Perfect
I love the app. It’s so much different than what I was accustomed to. I would like to see a few things more. I would like access to the folders I’ve already created over the years. I would like a select all and delete all. Overall, it’s a great app that I would highly recommend.
Goated app
so random found this from a reel that was lowkey promoting this (this is not an ad btw) and knew I needed this cause I get way too many credit karma and amazon emails that just bother me but I know I need them😭 downloaded this app and omg kudos to whoever did the ui on this it’s genuinely goated and the best ui design (and the dev that coded it - smooth app and the design works perfectly) I’ve seen in a while for an app - the functionalities are super simple and so easy to use I love it sm might be my favourite app on my phone

Next generation of Email
completely blown away, the way Extra simplifies and organizes everything is absolutely amazing, i dont go out of my way to write reviews on many things but this app 100% deserves it, the UI is very pleasing to the eye and easy to understand, it does an amazing job managing your emails and getting rid of things that are simply no longer needed. this app has made dealing with my emails an enjoyable experience and i cant wait to see how this app evolves with future updates. revolutionary💯 (would love to see widgets get added in the future)

this very well might be the best consumer-grade email app
so good it has become an indispensable part of my daily email flow just waiting for them to add all inbox support on a single screen
Make Gmail usable
This app is so good. My Gmail had become an overwhelming mess, Extra has made it useable again, I highly recommend trying it out
Take back your inbox
Still early days but for a new app it’s nailed the basics of sorting and summarising my inboxes
IN LOVE - signed my adhd
As an Entrepreneur that has to get through emails and also has ADHD, this app makes emails a breeze, something that I actually look forward to opening, and is very underwhelming in a peaceful way versus opening your email and just seeing a massive list of essentially things to do and people to get back to. Whoever developed this, thank you a thousand times!

Best email app out there
The best email app i’ve tried
Should be on TestFlight
This is a great idea and I can see this will be an amazing app I would use everyday, once it’s actually finished being created.
This is not in a release state and should be on TestFlight.
You’re just damaging your reputation by releasing an unfinished app.
People will download, see it’s flawed, delete and likely never return.
Put on an open TestFlight and you don’t get that issue as people download TestFlight apps knowing it’s going to be unfinished and buggy.

Great email concept!
Love the concept and how it visualizes priorities. The only issue I’m facing is that it doesn’t pick up on received Gmail/calendly email times. So I have to go back into Gmail to check the original email for the scheduled time.
Where are they at?
I just downloaded this app literally just now but I’m wondering if I made a mistake. If you have a problem who will answer that? Literally, where are the developers that answer your questions when you have a problem with this app, I cannot find any. Reviews that have someone answering their problems… To me this is very VERY important aspect of an app and there’s not any on here so did I make a mistake or not?? The fact only remains to be seen later, and that’s a shame.
