Bought this app as only alternative is to access my gmail through the browser. Works very well when finally loaded but takes up to 30 seconds to "authenticate" with Google. ### 3/5 — 3 days *2018-05-07, version 6.0* So far it looks good, but i’ve only had it for 3 days. You should wait for at least 2 weeks before you request a review.. ### 3/5 — Quirky, but more secure *2017-09-30, version 6.0* The app has some quirks and I have had to reinstall regularly, but it adds encryption and an extra password to my phone-based e-mail. ### 4/5 — Seems okay but not 100% sure *2017-02-03, version 6.0* It appears to work as is should, although a screen flashes up saying login failure, then it logs in okay. Sometimes when logging out it sticks at 20%. Since this is a "private" app the glitches are a bit worrisome. A more generic icon would be nice. Prying eyes ask "what is safe mail for?". Other than a few minor details, great app! Worth the investment. ### 3/5 — Review me! *2017-02-01, version 6.0* Had been working great till recently. The view changed to html based and bounces back and forth between what it should be and html. It also keeps asking me to review with no "no" option. I either need to review or be reminded later. ### 4/5 — Good *2016-11-28, version 6.0* Good app does what it says but just one problem every time while logging in although giving finger print still it does not open, have to try multiple time. ### 4/5 — Safe Gmail *2016-11-19, version 6.0* Good app - simple sorting and authentication. Seems gmail fights to switch user out to standard gmail but can ignore ### 2/5 — Used to work well, now not so much *2016-10-24, version 6.0* This app used to work fine, but now it shows a horrible view of my mailbox. Need to fix this quickly or this app will be deleted. ### 4/5 — Good App *2016-09-04, version 6.0* Does everything well. Would be great to be able to save attachment photos to my Pictures gallery but it's a minor gripe. Maybe next version. ### 3/5 — Keyboard glitch *2016-06-01, version 6.0* The app is very frustrating! While typing with the keyboard up, if it times out and the screen goes blank or another pop up comes up, when you go back into it the passcode is required. That's ok. The issue is that the keyboard is still up and you can't dismiss it to unlock the app. You have to shut it down and reload the app to continue. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Safe mail *2020-12-19, version 6.0* I hate this app it doesn’t protect anything my coworkers hacking my phone google gmail account passwords and hangouts I they are able to knock down this security not with the money ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2019-06-03, version 6.0* I just downloaded it and when I try to login to gmail I get a message saying that my browser doesn’t support JavaScript. What browser? I am just trying to use safe mail. I want my money back. Also when I click on the help button I get a 500 internal server error. What is wrong with this app and your web server? ### 1/5 — Don’t get it *2018-11-16, version 6.0* This was a great gmail app a few years ago. But it appears to no longer being supported. There hadn’t been an update since iOS 9. It no longer works for me with recent iOS updates. It hangs and has to be force quit. Too fab because it was a great app in it’s day. ### 1/5 — Upsetting *2018-10-11, version 6.0* The app does not fit vertically on the iPhone X as of this latest update. So can’t get out of an open app email because the top left button to do so is missing ### 1/5 — Major bug *2018-05-30, version 6.0* This app used to work extremely well. Over time it has become more and more buggy. Now it is a disaster, getting stuck loading Google authentication service almost every time it is launched. I don’t know if it’s iOs11 or something else, but I am deleting the app and looking elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Garbage, Useless does not work *2018-05-21, version 6.0* I just bought this app because the reviews made it sound great. Paid the $2.99 for it and then set up 4 Gmail accounts. You can not be logged into all 4 accounts at the same time. When I try and log out of one account and log into another account the app freezes and will not log out. I sent a message to support. I would rather have the $2.99 back but it’s not going to break me. I just wish there was some kind of recourse for refunds when the app doesn’t work as advertised. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2017-10-01, version 6.0* I have bee using for several years with no problem but no longer working. I suspect since iOS 11. App needs to be updated for iOS 11 or there is no point is having the app. ### 1/5 — New security page *2017-08-22, version 6.0* I liked the app until the new security page was added. Now there's a long delay and I must choose something anything prior to logging in. Nope I will look for a new app... ### 1/5 — Bought it in the hope it will upgrade for iOS 10 soon *2016-09-22, version 6.0* Liked the extra security (Snowden) it provides me dat will b in my finger tips. Started with just 1 star, when all the bugs r fixed for iOS 10, I'll come back to give more stars. ### 1/5 — Crap *2016-08-24, version 6.0* This app crashes constantly. It gets stuck on logging in and out and needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled consistently. Please fix this bug. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Secure Mail for Gmail *2018-10-16, version 6.0* I was hoping that this app would be present when I needed it. I will provide feedback when appropriate ### 5/5 — Does the job 👍 *2017-11-07, version 6.0* Simple to use secure and affordable. I would recommend. ### 5/5 — Been using for a long time now. Like it a lot. *2017-08-25, version 6.0* Very good app. No complaints! Try it you'll love it. ### 5/5 — Works as advertised *2017-06-30, version 6.0* A bit klunky but meets the essential requirements. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-05-23, version 6.0* Love it! After 2 years, finally got the paid version. Very happy! ### 5/5 — Secure *2017-02-04, version 6.0* Security works well. However if you're in the middle of typing an email and you switch out of the app to check something and come back, the keyboard is stuck on the screen and u have to force quit the app to regain control. So, if you're typing, hit DONE before switching out of the app, even if you aren't done writing. If you forget, remember to wait a moment for it to save into drafts before you force quit. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-01-07, version 6.0* Excellent app, very use friendly and cost effective, far most it is secured 😊👍 ### 5/5 — Works well for me *2016-08-05, version 6.0* Purchased as it adds one additional layer of privacy to my email. Look forward to incremental improvements ### 5/5 — Fine app *2016-06-17, version 6.0* This app works well and is easier to use than the gmail app from Google. So far, not a single problem. ### 5/5 — Does what it says. *2016-06-07, version 6.0* Fairly intuitive. Does exactly what I bought it for. Open app. Click one button. Touch ID... Et voila: access to my email. One regret: it is not an email client per se, it just opens protected window to access your gmail. Still a 5 stars in my book. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
