### 3/5 — I wish I’d read the reviews

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.182*

Was happy to pay as I liked the interface and expected it work. Not entirely sure it does as I’m still getting mail from accounts I’ve unsubscribed from.

### 2/5 — Worked great until it didn’t

*2026-06-04, version 2.1.176*

At first this was great and really helped with deleting stuff but at a certain point it just stopped updating and only shows old information. I tried taking my email account off and back on again. Even with a new phone still doesn’t work. It’s just stuck

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-06-01, version 2.1.176*

Such a scam, actually the worst. There’s no way to log into your account, so if you do pay for a year subscription and somehow get disconnected, you’ll never be able to access your account unless you PAY AGAIN. Like, how is that even a thing? You guys were either stupid enough to not know how to make a login page, or they purposely did it to scam people to have to repay for a subscription. They just stole my $40 and refuse to answer or help.

### 1/5 — Hopeless. Stay away!

*2026-05-28, version 2.1.176*

The app doesn’t work. Then they bill you and you can’t get your money back.

### 1/5 — I hate apps like this

*2026-05-24, version 2.1.176*

It might do what it says on the tin, and I don’t care anymore because if you are going to charge me that’s fine I get small developers can’t offer everything for free - and I do have experience. But after I’ve gone through the already annoying process of setting my email up which took 30+ minutes, I then get a paywall. Go away. If you are going to charge me, tell me before I waste my time

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-15, version 2.1.176*

Not even able to connect on my hotmail

### 1/5 — Avoid app

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.176*

App sent my gmail to the deleting app and would not allow me to access current emails, as it scanned continuously for more, I tried to delete my acct but was denied due to ongoing scanning. I had to remove and delete through the Google and link app. Even had to deleted gmail app to reset permissions.

### 2/5 — Worked great until it didn’t

*2026-05-10, version 2.1.175*

At first this was great and really helped with deleting stuff but at a certain point it just stopped updating and only shows old information. I tried taking my email account off and back on again. Even with a new phone still doesn’t work. It’s just stuck

### 1/5 — High hopes, sadly disappointed

*2026-05-09, version 2.1.175*

The sign up and executions appears to be really good, however I encountered 3 significant issues. 
1.) I wanted to use this on multiple email accounts. You can’t add multiple accounts therefore I had to go through the process, delete the account then add a new one. This removed the option to subsequently cancel the free trial which has caused a billing headache.
2.) Despite the apps best efforts my inboxes continue to be littered with subscription messages.
3.) Contacting customer support is incredibly challenging. The app owner has messaged chasing the subscription money, however when I reply explaining I get nothing back.

I don’t usually leave negative feedback but this app has caused lots of frustration.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel the membership with your cellphone

*2026-05-03, version 2.1.175*

An automatic system manage their cancellation request and it will pretend not to be able to cancel your membership and you cannot cancel the membership with Apple either. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT’S A SCAM!

### 1/5 — Be honest about cost

*2026-04-30, version 2.1.175*

Don’t list it as free and then require a purchase. If you had been upfront in the beginning I probably would have subscribed, but making it look free until we have entered information and then require a subscription is underhanded.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2026-04-27, version 2.1.175*

if you are looking for something to clean your email, this require 40$/year so you can operate it. which is not shown in the ads about this app. so im telling you do not waste your time if you are looking for something for free

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-04-23, version 2.1.175*

Don’t download it’s a Scam app they take your money after the 7 day trial and don’t even let you delete your account

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — AVOID at all costs

*2026-08-14, version 2.1.182*

This app doesn’t work. It only shows it’s cleaning but it doesn’t do anything. I repeat. It doesn’t do anything. Is most likely a scam because I cannot find a way to cancel it.

### 1/5 — Entirely behind a paywall - which they don’t tell you before doing the annoying process of syncing

*2026-07-31, version 2.1.182*

Poor

### 1/5 — Really poor

*2026-07-23, version 2.1.182*

Downloaded the app and within minutes realised it wasn’t what I wanted so checked my apps to check if there was a trial I needed to cancel and there wasn’t so I deleted the app, 2 days later I’m charged £27:99 which clearly seems like a scam   As nowhere on the app does it state this, and then when you realise it’s too late and trying to cancel is ridiculous also. Will be doing all I can to get the £27:99 back as this is terrible

### 1/5 — If I could give 0 stars I would

*2026-07-14, version 2.1.181*

I emailed to cancel my free trial before it ended, sent 8 emails and did not get one reply.  Took £40 from my account and have been requesting a refund for this.  Absolute scam.

### 1/5 — Info then fees!

*2026-07-08, version 2.1.181*

We want your data! You have to give your info before they tell you how much you have to pay. Deceptive business practice!

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-06-20, version 2.1.180*

Signed up to 7-day free trial and then found out it was a waste of time and the app did nothing but connect to my emails. I then emailed to cancel subscription and deleted my account. They then made me pay I have emailed again but looks like I’m going to have to cancel my card to get rid of this sub I also had to go into my email account and remove its access. Do not sign up as they will just take your money and never respond.

### 1/5 — Bad User Interface

*2026-06-19, version 2.1.180*

No option to end subscription or bulk delete emails inside app.

### 1/5 — SCAM ALERT

*2026-06-16, version 2.1.180*

They do not give you the option of canceling the free trial, it does not show up in your Apple subscription list and you will be charged. 49.99 Canadian in my case. Do not be fooled.

### 1/5 — Cheeks

*2026-06-08, version 2.1.180*

Only good for unsubscribing, if you want to mass delete emails it’s useless. Don’t waste your time or money. No faq center also, you have to email them everytime you have a question.

### 1/5 — Atleast Learn to Mention in your spam Ads that this is a Paid app

*2026-06-02*

Paid app do not install they will ask for money eventually after doing everything

### 5/5 — Amazed

*2026-08-21, version 2.1.182*

Wish I knew something like this existed years ago!

### 5/5 — I have less than 100 emails for the first time in 20 years!

*2026-06-21, version 2.1.180*

I have tried so many different email inbox cleaners, and different email clients trying to get a handle on email and nothing was working until I found this app. It’s got a great free trial so you can try it out to see if it actually works and I’m so excited to see that for the first time in 20 years I have less than hundred emails in my inbox. Using Trimbox today I deleted several thousand emails and actually found a few emails that I was missing that were very important. Time will tell if the unsubscribe function works well, but so far I’m very impressed, highly recommend!

### 5/5 — So far so good!

*2026-06-17, version 2.1.180*

It’s SUPER EASY so far. 1st day using.

### 5/5 — Fantastic🙏

*2026-05-06, version 2.1.175*

This is so good! I’ve got so many emails & so many subscriptions and this is making it so easy to go through them all and unsubscribe plus move them to the trash. Definitely worth it! ❤️

### 5/5 — Best app I downloaded today

*2026-05-03, version 2.1.175*

Works great friendly staff always ready to help! Would recommend

### 5/5 — Gracias

*2026-05-02, version 2.1.175*

Okey yo también

### 5/5 — Overall expereince

*2026-04-27, version 2.1.175*

I was able to unsubscribe from a bunch of annoying emails, which was nice. But honestly, I don't really need to clean my inbox that often to justify having this app, or any email cleaner in general. 
Also, unlike some other reviews, I had no problem cancelling the subscription. I just emailed them, and they got back to me pretty quickly and sorted it out. Their customer service was pretty great! (I have no pending charges)!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-21, version 2.1.175*

Trim box is a huge help in getting rid of old emails. In a matter of seconds, I was able to unsubscribe from 10+ spam emails bogging me down. I’ll continue to use this app as new companies try to send marketing in bunches. Great download and very smooth experience in my opinion

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-03-24, version 2.1.175*

This has cleared a TON of emails in just a few minutes! I love it!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-17, version 2.1.173*

This app was a total lifesaver!
