Does it Work?

Who can say? Maybe it works 50% of the time—better than nothing, I guess.

I have requests in “processing” that are six years old and I’m still receiving junk mail from the sender.

Text from photo recognition is poor. Any AI can read the text better than PaperKarma, so why hasn’t PaperKarma upgraded?

No longer works

This app has been abandoned. It no longer opts out, support is no longer reachable, but it will still allow you to pay for a subscription

Completely unresponsive to customer service

Their website contact us form is broken and they don’t respond to messages on Facebook or Twitter. Extremely disappointed

Love it!

I dunno how they do it, but my family has used PaperKarma for years and we’ve drastically reduced our junk mail. Over time, it just becomes a preventative maintenance thing like dental care or oil changes.

No Response

When people leave negative reviews, they respond with “send an email to…”. I sent emails to that address (and others) over two weeks ago with ZERO response. No thanks
