### 3/5 — Orphaned: no reply from tech support; wouldn’t launch until I uninstalled/reinstalled

*2026-01-27, version 1.7*

UPDATE: Deleting the app and all of its local data, then reinstalling fixed the problem on both iOS and iPadOS. 

The iPad version doesn’t know the keyboard key locations in landscape mode any more, but still does in Portrait.

This has been such a great app since I bought it for all my platforms years ago.  Unfortunately, the iPad/iPhone versions stick on the splash screen then timeout and exit after 5 seconds now.  The macOS version continues to work like a champ. Hoping the developer reads this and fixes whatever is preventing the iOS version from launching—they haven’t responded to any emails to their tech support. Perhaps it calls home to a server which is no longer online?

### 4/5 — I wish they continue updating this app

*2025-11-09, version 1.7*

Excellent app, unfortunately not updated for years.

### 2/5 — A sad day

*2025-05-15, version 1.7*

This app was great on release I could control mail clutter and read very easily.now this app no longer works..All the good apps are dis’s appearing 😢I miss the app😢😢

### 1/5 — Great app but no longer works

*2025-02-11, version 1.7*

Loved the app but it stopped working. Reached out to developer or support but no response.

### 1/5 — Gmail does not work

*2025-01-31, version 1.7*

Seems to be not updated to the latest gmail. Says “this app is blocked” when trying to login to google

### 3/5 — App stopped syncing with Gmail

*2025-01-13, version 1.7*

Hello, it is a great application, I used to rely on for my Gmail account. However, lately it stopped syncing with Gmail. Will there be any solution to this problem?

### 5/5 — PLEASE DONT ABANDON — I’m still loving it

*2025-01-08, version 1.7*

I’ve been using Unibox for years, it’s still my one and only email client for all of my accounts. It’s simple and powerful. The person centric email threading modernizes emailing to be more like standard messaging. Under the hood the view option, to select a person, and just see all the attachments is an incredible tool. 

My favorite tip to anyone:
Buy Unibox even to use for this one trick. Rapidly delete hundreds of spam emails or junk by trashing or junking all the messages from one sender in one step. Or select multiple senders and delete thousands at a time.

Whatever it lacks (in support of specialized features or a given email provider) can be accessed visiting the providers site, such as gmail. So I don’t take a star off for the simple interface or any lack of features. 

Plain and simple, Unibox has every feature you’ll absolutely need, and nothing at all that is less necessary which is why I love it. I also love that it’s footprint on my Mac Application support folder is much smaller than Mac’s mail.

### 1/5 — Used to be great but it’s abandoned

*2024-12-15, version 1.7*

Unfortunately this app seems to be abandonware. It does not support 2FA which makes it pretty useless for Gmail now (the desktop version still works).

### 1/5 — A sad day

*2024-11-26, version 1.7*

This app was great on release I could control mail clutter and read very easily.now this app no longer works..All the good apps are dis’s appearing 😢

### 1/5 — Abandoned App?

*2024-04-22, version 1.7*

App has stopped sending - last update was 3 years ago - is it still supported by its developers?
