No features in the app

You cannot do even the basic stuff people need Hushmail for in the app - you cannot create or delete aliases, you cannot report a message as spam, you cannot block a sender - all you can do is read and send email. That’s it. For literally anything else - including all the flagship features people get Hushmail for - you have to log in on a browser. RIDICULOUS in this day and age. Come ON.

Not working well with iOS 26.6.1

This app does not work well with iOS 26.6.1. For example, a message I sent unencrypted landed encrypted in a my "Inbox" in Apple Mail. We need an updated Hushmail app. Thanks.

Not secure

Hushmail received a subpoena in a civil case against me filed in the US. The attorney in question lied and said I had sent threatening emails, and the Canadian court granted an order to disclose information. Hushmail neither attempted to fight the subpoena or notify me. And while Hushmail can’t decrypt the body of messages, it CAN and does provide header info, geolocation, IP addresses, billing information, and subject lines. Understand too that Hushmail was NOT prohibited from notifying me. Bottom line, Hushmail does NOT protect your privacy. And again — I did not do anything illegal or unethical.

App Works Occasionally

I have had Hushmail for many years and their app is just horrible. It’s so bad it basically makes Hushmail almost completely unusable. Today after suffering through the app for several years and reloading the app several times I was about to switch to another email company, but as the last resort, I downloaded Microsoft Outlook onto my iPhone and it seems to be working with my Hushmail account. I’m actually able to send and receive emails reliably now. It probably would’ve been easier to go through a different email service, but I’ve had this email address for several years and didn’t want to give it up. With the Hushmail app in in the App Store with a rating as low as this, it’s really a poor sign of a business to put out such a garbage app in the App Store. I also tried just using the email by logging in through their website, which seems to work better but is more of a hassle. Sorry Hushmail, but you need to have an app that works more than occasionally. Honestly, because of this, I would not recommend using Hushmail.

Create Account

I wish there was a way for me to create account from the iOS app. I do not own a computer.
