### 2/5 — Problemi

*2022-11-10, version 16.1.5*

Dopo ultimo aggiornamento IOS non arrivano più notifiche e non si aprono gli allegati in formato PDF

### 2/5 — Crash con allegati pdf.

*2022-10-10, version 16.1.5*

Dopo l'aggiornamento Ios, l'app va in crash quando apro allegati in pdf.

Versione 16.1.5, Ios 16.0.2, Iphone 8

### 1/5 — Poor UI and emails aren’t saved

*2021-05-26, version 16.1.5*

Its UI reminds me of the early 2000’s. It’s very unwieldy and confusing. Also, whenever the app just crashes, your drafts aren’t saved so good luck retyping them.

### 1/5 — G Mail ist besser

*2020-11-13, version 16.1.5*

Gmail ist 100 mal besser

### 1/5 — Du weißt das es Haft ist

*2020-09-28, version 16.1.5*

Kleine kahbas sig tir baskit 
Mumu + Enes = <3

### 1/5 — App

*2020-09-28, version 16.1.5*

Die App ist nicht übersichtlich

### 3/5 — Signature

*2020-09-21, version 16.1.5*

What happened to being able to create and edit your signature directly on your iPhone?  
I have an outdated signature and can’t change it - that feature no longer allows you to make a change.  Now I have to manually update my signature with each email I send. I write more emails from my phone than my laptop. My computer allowed me to make the change.

### 1/5 — Unsinn

*2020-05-08, version 16.1.5*

Also wenn eine App für Studierende und Azubis gemacht ist aber nur auf dem Laptop läuft, ist nicht für alle flexibel genug. 
Sollte mindestens auf dem iPad und Handy gehen.
Außerdem die Grafik ist von 1970 gefühlt und nicht so intuitiv. 
Wir sind in 2020, wäre auch Zeit für ein cooles design!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-05-04, version 16.1.5*

😭

### 2/5 — Emails aren’t always saved

*2020-04-26, version 16.1.5*

In the mobile app, you can’t tell when the email you’re typing isn’t being saved. So if I forget to copy the text and then paste it, I end up sending a blank message even when it was on my screen before I sent it. The content isn’t anywhere on the server. Very annoying.

### 2/5 — Password Issue

*2020-03-24, version 16.1.5*

App automatically adds characters in the password line.  Thereby, not enabling me to sign in.  Developer provides no assistance.

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2020-03-08, version 16.1.5*

Läuft grauenhaft instabil, verschluckt frisch verfasste Nachrichten, zeigt Inhalte unvollständig an.

### 1/5 — Not cool

*2020-02-11, version 16.1.5*

Very poopy

### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-01-17, version 16.1.5*

I wish there was a way to get notifications for your mailbox like there is on the desktop app.

### 3/5 — An app from the past

*2020-01-14, version 16.1.5*

Clunky interface and bad design make first class look like it came straight from the 90ies. The password is saved only for a period of time. After that you must either type it each time you want to access your emails or delete and reinstall the app. I wish my company wasn’t so cheap and replaced this with outlook. 

Honestly though the price difference is really significant and gets the job done so beggars can’t be choosers.

### 4/5 — Problems with the 16.11 upgrade on iOS 10

*2020-01-02, version 16.1.5*

I'm happy to see that the upgrade issues have been resolved and the First Class app is now working again. Thanks to the team for sorting this out!

Previous message/issue
I've been using First Class for many years on both desktop and mobile devises. always been very happy with the software, but the latest mobile app update on my iPad no longer works. It starts to launch but bugs out after a few seconds.

I assume the update is still supposed to work on older iOS versions, my iPad is still on iOS 10.33. If the updated app  requires a newer iOS, surely it shouldn't attempt to update on a device running on an previous iOS.

Is this a glitch with the app, which will be addressed and rectified soon?

I've updated the App, with the so called fixes, but it still crashes when I try to login, the update hasn't resolved anything.

### 3/5 — It changed

*2019-12-02, version 16.1.5*

I use FirstClass for work email and all of a sudden I cannot attach files to an email only photos. Secondly, it is now lacking a document view. I cannot open attachments. Please fix it.

### 3/5 — Cannot flag received mail

*2019-11-16, version 16.1.5*

Hope it can be improved

### 1/5 — App ist für die Tonne

*2025-11-25, version 16.1.5*

Die App ist mega unübersichtlich und man findet sich kaum zurecht

### 1/5 — Problemi

*2022-10-31, version 16.1.5*

Dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento iOS 16, non si aprono gli allegati alla mail in formato pdf Spero si provveda..serve aggiornamento.

### 1/5 — Bricht immer ab beim IPhone 14 Pro

*2022-10-24, version 16.1.5*

App schließt immer wenn ich ein PDF Dokument öffnen möchte. Nur beim IPhone 14 Pro.

### 1/5 — Ci mettiamo mano o No?

*2022-10-10, version 16.1.5*

Non conosco altre applicazioni che abbiano una manutenzione risalente a due anni prima. In tali condizioni, solo quelle dismesse. Prima avrei a un pdf ogni cinque, ora crasha direttamente. INUTILUZZABILE.

### 1/5 — Cannot open PDFs

*2022-09-30, version 16.1.5*

I’m running an iPhone X with the latest update. Every time I try to open an attachment on FC, the app crashes. Not having the ability to open email attachments renders the app mostly useless.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading.

*2022-09-17, version 16.1.5*

No one should ever be subjected to this email platform in general. The app is useless. The platform is just awful and not intuitive.

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2022-08-25, version 16.1.5*

My favorite part is that it will delete my email if I switch tabs for two seconds. Truly a wonderful system made by intelligent people.

### 1/5 — Aus dem letzten Jahrtausend

*2021-11-14, version 16.1.5*

Eigentlich kein Stern. Unübersichtlich, konfus und völlig unergonomisch. Die Unterstützung von Mobilgeräten ist nicht vorhanden. kalender, termine und emails können nur per Zufall synchronisiert werden.

### 1/5 — Impossibile aprire il file errore 1209

*2021-10-12, version 16.1.5*

Quando verrà risolto questo problema? Da anni gli allegati soprattutto pdf presentano questo errore

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2021-08-25, version 16.1.5*

My notifications aren’t working I’ve deleted and checked settings.

All is well again! You have fixed all the bugs and glitches and this app is restored to its former glory! Well done for reacting so quickly to our concerns! Grade A for the fast fix!

### 5/5 — It's about time!

*2016-01-12, version 12.1.0.004*

I have been using FirstClass for 10 years now and first class mobile for a good many as well. I have always been very disappointed by the mobile app as it does not provide the productivity or functionality you would expect from a Company/program of this nature. I would have described the old FirstClass app as just barely functional. I noticed that they updated the web client which looks really good and was hoping they would improve on the app as well, which they did. The look is a lot better and cleaner, and it appears to of gotten a well needed overhaul. I just hope that you listen to comments and squash bugs as they are found because the response rate of this company to problems in the past has been pretty sluggish overall...
