Client-side app performance desperately needs help
As far as I know, Skiff has some of the best privacy available amongst email providers. However, client side app performance borders on or is essentially unusable.
On both desktop and mobile, there is is a significant amount of lag (i.e, I type a string or a sentence, and can see the characters be inputted as if watching a replay) for the workload to available system performance. Whatever Skiff is doing in the doing in the background turns normal text input into a slideshow of what I expected to type. It makes even short email exchanges take disproportionately longer than necessary.
I will revisit this review when the performance is improved, but until then, this app is hard to recommend for all but the most private people, and they most likely will want to find another solution.

Love Skiff, their apps, and their approach to privacy
I was recently with a competitor of privacy related email services and was unhappy with the loading of apps, being logged out of apps, etc and was looking for another solution. I happened to find a comment on Reddit that mentioned Skiff. I decided to give the free tier a shot. 24 hours later I was all in, switched over my custom domain, and went all in with Skiff.
Their team is SUPER responsive and active on Reddit to answer questions, their apps open quickly and run smoothly, and I couldn't be happier with the ecosystem they are creating.
They are constantly rolling out updates and improving their product almost daily. You guys rock!

Quite possibly the best
So much better than being stuck in the endless web of Google’s seemingly never ending highway of off-ramps which only lead back to Google’s fast paced so-called freeway to Googleville.
I’m using skiff and proton for all of my communication of importance. I’m partial to, and fond of skiff due to the ease of use coupled with sustained customer support and engagement. They offer bonuses and give info freely. Huge fan of skiff soon becoming my yacht. 5*

So far so good!
Google and their products have just become too intrusive for my liking so been looking for an alternative to tryout and stumbled upon Skiff. Read some reviews, talked to a couple of tech-minded friends and have chosen to start my gentle migration away from google, to a new home with Skiff. So far, pretty great and no real complaints or problems I e encountered. So for that reason, why not 5 stars?!
