### 5/5 — Britney

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-09-19*

Doesn’t work

### 4/5 — Add a feature to restore messages to inbox

*2021-01-06, version 2.3*

Great app!! I’m enjoying it so far. But there should be feature to restore messages that have been wrongly classified as junk back to your inbox. This feature is missing at the moment. And I find many useful messages hidden in the junk folder.

### 3/5 — No AI

*2020-10-21*

There is no way to tell the “AI” that it has made a mistake. It put msgs from my bank, pharmacy and utilities in the junk folder along with real spam and phishing. This is at the least strict filtering level. The app is only useful if you’re going to check the junk folder regularly. I’m uninstalling it.

### 4/5 — Knot blocking enough

*2020-10-09, version 2.1*

Some messages are still getting thru from bitcoin arseholes knot as bad before I got this app, but would be good to get none
