Ecosia for emails

I love using this app for my emails. I feel great about plants being planted just from me deleting old emails. My only problem is when I am writing an email back, I somehow create three drafts as I am writing a response. I am not sure if this is a bug, but I am not clicking off of my message the entire time. That aside, I love how this app gives me a view of the trees I planted and where they are planted in the world!

Minor issues

I love this app in that it’s easy to navigate and does exactly as advertised. My only issues are it’s a little bit slow at loading my emails, and the “points” you’re supposed to receive for interacting with your inbox aren’t being accurately given out. I highly recommend this app anyway.

Love the concept but too buggy

I’ve been using my Gmail account on Wildhero for a few months now, and it’s been so buggy. I’m unable to swipe right to open the side menu, and sometimes I can’t even delete my emails. I’ll select my emails and hit delete, and either nothing happens or the email pops back up in the inbox half a second after it had disappeared. If I click open the email and hit the trash icon there, nothing happens. I do like the option to unsubscribe and delete all, it’s come in very handy. However, the functionality is too clunky for my needs, so I will be going back to using the Gmail app for daily needs and the Wildhero app for inbox cleanup (if the trash function actually works).

Great idea

I enjoy the premise of this app but it only counts some of my deleted emails and I’m not sure why.

Great app!

As an email client alone, I'm very happy with this app. They layout is great and I love the inbox cleanup/unsubscribe feature. The fact that proceeds go towards a great cause is just an additional benefit in my opinion. Funding tree planting by doing something as routine as checking my email is so convenient and a great way to pitch in a little bit! I'm hopeful for an iPad-optimized app layout, which is where I do most of my email-reading.
