If it is enabled or disabled, mail notification does not appear when a new mail arrives in iphone. But once I switch it on and off, then mail notification appears.

Kopieren / Ausschneiden des Textes und damit in die Zwischenablage stecken: nicht möglich. Mails verschwinden so auf nimmer Wiedersehen. 2. Neue Mails laden gar nicht. Bitte um Fix… ### 3/5 — App not opening *2025-05-22, version 14.0.5* App not opening properly From last 2 to 3 days in iphone , other apps are working properly but this app showing only blank screen while opening, kindly look into the matter . ### 2/5 — 讀不到郵件，點選郵件資料夾會閃退 *2025-04-28, version 14.0.5* iOS 18.31 安裝後常常讀不到信件，要移除重新安裝 ### 2/5 — Güncelleme *2025-04-20, version 14.0.5* Güncellemelerden sonra takılmaya başladı kapatıp tekrar açmak gerekiyor birkaç kere ### 3/5 — Latest update bugs/ glitch *2025-04-12, version 14.0.5* First page is hanging. Push sync is also having issues. ### 1/5 — Crash issue *2025-04-04, version 14.0.4* Often crash after update ### 2/5 — Bug depuis dernière mise à jour *2025-03-27, version 14.0.4* Peu mieux faire ### 4/5 — Not working with iOS 18.2.1 *2025-01-22, version 14.0.2* The app has stopped working after update to iOS 18.2.1. Mails are not updating and app is crashing when inbox is updated. Please rectify the issue ### 1/5 — Žebrákovina *2024-11-03, version 14.0.2* Najžebráckejšia žebrákovina ktorú si kúpia len firmy aby ušetrili aj na niečom takom dôležitom ako sú emaily pre zamestnancov v teréne. 4 mesiace posledná aktualizácia? To je snáď táto trápna retardovaná appka pre firmy aj zadarmo… ### 3/5 — Mail updation *2024-02-20, version 14.0.0* Mail updation is problem. Mail is not synchronise.. ### 1/5 — Not getting notifications *2024-01-16, version 14.0.0* This app does not give notifications for new mails. I have to open this app and manually refresh to know I have got any new mails. This is really worst app for mail. ### 1/5 — IOS *2024-01-09, version 14.0.0* Unusable on IOS 17 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is not refreshing properly *2026-03-04, version 14.5.2* This app is not refreshing properly. Sometimes I have to manually refresh and sometimes even manual refresh is not working. ### 1/5 — Pushing Notifications *2026-01-21, version 14.5.2* The app will not push notifications to alert me of incoming mail. After checking setting, they all indicate “push” for notifications but nothing happens. Only if I open the app does it auto refresh and update. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — Unable to configure in iOS 26 *2026-01-18, version 14.5.2* The app is showing the error message ‘ authentication request time out’ after entering server address. ### 1/5 — Auch du meine Güte *2026-01-13, version 14.5.2* Puh, was soll ich sagen, ich könnte meine Firmenmails im Apple Mail benutzen, das läuft auch gut. Das kann man von Verse nicht sagen. Zum trennen zwischen dienstlich und privat und außerdem, um die Verschlüsselungen zu nutzen habe ich jetzt die dienstlichen Mails umgestellt. Das Programm ist echt von den Funktionen von vorgestern… Ich bin echt genervt. Anhänge verschicken geht nicht richtig, automatisches einsortieren ebenso, es dauert auch bei aktiver Hintergrundaktualisierung ewig bis die Push Meldung kommt, die Problemliste is lang. Liebe Systemadministratoren in Unternehmen, bitte wählt etwas anderes! ### 1/5 — App Crash *2025-12-19, version 14.5.2* Many times app not even able to open and by mistake if you have searched for any mail than it will crash 100%. ### 1/5 — Ultimo aggiornamento disastro *2025-11-26, version 14.5.2* App installata su iPhone 15pro, indecente come è sempre stata ### 1/5 — Crashes on download *2025-11-16, version 14.5.1* It crashes on opening any excel attachment. ### 1/5 — Crashing Frequently *2025-11-03, version 14.5.1* App is getting crashed as soon as try to open pdf files or try to send pdf file as attachment. Very pathetic, no one to resolve. ### 1/5 — Courage à tous *2025-10-21, version 14.5.1* Courage à vous, pauvres gens à encore utiliser Notes. Cette app est une horreur. Bourrée de bugs. ### 1/5 — Mail is not functioning properly *2025-10-15, version 14.5.1* The app is very low quality and technical worsen. While sending mail and opening attachments is suddenly close. Very worst ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent for Long-Term Users *2025-12-04, version 14.5.2* HCL Verse has been a long standing companion.The app is well laid out, easy to navigate, and handles a substantial volume of historical data without missing a beat. I can access mail attachments going back more than ten years. For anyone who relies on longstanding archives or needs full continuity of their Notes/Domino environment on mobile, this app does the job extremely well. A solid, reliable tool that continues to improve. ### 5/5 — Great for business *2024-05-30, version 14.0.1* Excellent email app for business. Especially if you value your privacy. ### 5/5 — App crash closes *2022-06-28, version 12.0.10* Dear developer, The verse app crash closes within 01 minute one swiped down for refreshing…….. ### 5/5 — Molto valida *2019-11-06, version 10.0.7* Funziona benissimo ### 5/5 — Problem in login *2019-10-15, version 10.0.7* Unable to login. Getting message account blocked ### 5/5 — Super fonctionnelle *2019-02-26, version 10.0.2* Synchro 1jour , 1semaine, 1mois, 1an ou illimitée : il y en a pour tous. Synchro des contacts apple utile. Recherche et filtres rapides. Enfin notification selective par émetteur ou bien pour tous ou aucun. En fait l’appli peut vraiment être paramétrée selon son propre besoin ! ### 5/5 — Fantastic mail app *2018-10-03, version 9.5.1* So much better than outlook . A world of choices and instant mail wherever you are . ### 5/5 — Verse is getting crashed *2018-03-11, version 9.4.8* Verse is getting crashed after recent update for iOS 10.3.3. Please fix it on priority.... ### 5/5 — Important App *2017-07-28, version 9.4.1* Love it! The Verse app makes it much easier to keep track of work items from my mobile phone. Plus, IBM keeps making it better! ### 5/5 — Small things missing *2017-07-16, version 9.4.1* We have recently moved to IBM verse. It's a decent application. Wish that for he iOS app the mail view wasn't limited to 30 days. As well as no notifications for calendar. -------------------- Awesome app now that I can see all my emails. Thank you guys! --------------------- Something else we have noticed. Push notifications do not work when using unlimited mail view. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
