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. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2025-01-14* Truly the best app; minimal issues, a founder who actually reaches out, and replies so quickly with answers to questions or feedback. The app itself runs insanely smooth, I was able to connect 3 separate email accounts into one. My favorite feature is the unsubscribing availablity! Not only are you helping the environment, you’re literally planting trees doing your basic day to day email usages. Without actually having to leave to go plant a tree! Amazing overall ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-01-08* Love the app! Really like how efficient it is as removing excess spam emails and unsubscribing to them all at once. Makes my life a whole lot easier then having to do it manually through outlook or Gmail. The only suggestion I have is for it to help me remove really old email stuff (going years back) without deleting anything that could be important. I don’t really know how to make that sound any simpler but it would certainly help me lower my email data usage. Overall it’s great and I would recommend it to anyone (even if they’re not trying to make an environmental impact) ### 5/5 — Great way to chip away at cloud emissions *2024-12-20* I’ve used other email removal apps in the past; attempting to unsubscribe from copious spam mail, only to find all that spam mail put into a separate folder called “unsubscribed.” I was still receiving those emails, they were just tucked away, stored in the cloud. This app actually deletes the emails you don’t want, across all of the email platforms you may be signed into. My carbon footprint is truly lower thanks to Wildhero, and it gives me the satisfaction of tracking just how much carbon emissions I’ve eliminated, just from deleting my emails. The developers reach out, and actually implement or address your concerns/suggestions. I’m excited to see how this app grows, and I can only hope enough people keep joining to make the difference Wildhero has the potential to make. ### 5/5 — So Easy! *2024-12-19, version 1.1.48* You can literally plant trees just by using your email. No extra effort necessary! I wish I knew about this app a long time ago. ### 5/5 — Great Gmail replacement *2024-10-17, version 1.1.39* This app is easy to use and you start "earning" trees right away. You can see where the trees are planted too! ### 5/5 — Email made meaningful! *2024-10-03, version 1.1.37* Helping plant trees while respecting my privacy and working just like Gmail-love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2024-10-03, version 1.1.37* Easy to plant trees and great user interface. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — It’s exactly like Gmail but it plants trees! *2024-10-03, version 1.1.37* The best part after switching is knowing that I’m making a difference just by doing my everyday email tasks with no extra effort. 🌱 ### 5/5 — Awesome with some growing pains *2024-09-13* Very cool idea for an app. Checking emails is normally an annoying part of my day, but checking my email to plant trees makes the whole thing a little better. The app has very cool features too, such as knowing where the trees you’ve “earned” are planted in the world, or the INCREDIBLY useful feature that shows you chunks of mail you never respond to and haven’t deleted, and then lets you delete them. This app is still in its infancy, so there are admittedly some things they’re trying to still work out, such as sending emails (which works 90% of the time), which they are actively working on. That brings me to a very cool part of this whole service though, which is that you can email them about problems, and they will actively try to fix them and talk to you about them. I can’t think of a single time that’s happened for anything else, and it shows that these people are trying very hard to make this app great. Overall, I definitely recommend trying this app out, if you’re good to roll with some of bumps that happen in an app’s infancy. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-09-07, version 1.1.30* The app is awesome, it works just like gmail but also lets you plant trees and help out the environment. 10/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Great Gmail replacement! *2024-09-03* I've replaced my Gmail app with this - works just as well and plants trees! I like how it looks exactly the same as Gmail besides the tree-planting section which is cool to see ### 5/5 — Easy way to reforest! *2024-08-31, version 1.1.27* Love this concept. The interface is extremely similar to Gmail, which is great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Clunky *2024-08-13, version 1.1.24* The latest version is the clunkiest version I’ve ever experienced on a app for a while. Even simple scrolling is laggy It’s like I’m using a phone from 2010 to run an app in 2024. Not sure why you would release this without catching this issue in your testing. I really want to see it succeeds but it’s disappointing. ### 1/5 — Intrusive and Sketchy Practices *2024-05-02* Wildhero's aggressive and intrusive email campaigns have left a bitter taste in my mouth. Their relentless pursuit to convince users to pair their email into this app, coupled with the alarming request for PayPal information in surveys, raises serious red flags. As a user of their sister app, Treecard, I expected better standards. However, Wildhero's blatant push for user data has me reconsidering my loyalty to their ecosystem. Proceed with caution as it makes me wonder why they are pushing so hard for access to your emails and PayPal information. **Developer response:** Hello Orangebary, we want to apologize if we sent too many emails the other day. We invited you to sign up for Wildhero because you’re a valued member of Treecard. Because you didn’t download the app, we sent a couple emails to check in and gather feedback as to why! Getting this feedback is really important to us to improve our new tree-planting app, so we offered to pay you to fill out our survey, which we do through PayPal. We do this infrequently, and only gather an email address to complete the payment. We’re excited about our new app and eager to get feedback, but if our emails get to be too much, please always feel free to reply and let us know! We’re very receptive to all your feedback, and hope you keep planting trees with us 🌳🌱 ### 2/5 — Love the concept but too buggy *2025-04-13* 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). ### 2/5 — Not very good *2025-03-13, version 1.1.57* I’m using this app because I like that it helps plant trees, but it’s actually not great at being an email hub. I’ve had so many problems with lagging and glitchiness. I’m really glad I kept my old hub just in case, so I can check over there when I need to read an attachment. ### 2/5 — Okay, but a little buggy *2025-02-15* For the most part the app works well, and I enjoy learning about the reduction of my carbon footprint. But, there are some notable bugs that deter me from using this as my sole email app. One of my draft emails won't get deleted, no matter how many times I try to discard it. Also, when I open a draft email that has attachments, the attachment gets deleted from the email. Also, unsubscribing seems to do nothing. I still get emails from senders that have the "unsubscribed" label. There's no option to block these spam senders, and reporting an email as spam doesn't prevent me from receiving more emails. I think that this failure to prevent spam defeats the purpose of the app. Because Wildhero fails to actually unsubscribe me from emails and spam, I still get the unnecessary traffic that is bad for my carbon footprint. Unless this particular issue is fixed, I wouldn't recommend the app for someone who really wants to help the planet. ### 2/5 — Some bugs *2025-02-08* Overall I like this app. It’s certainly functional as my default email app and I’m glad it’s allowing me to plant trees. But it has some bugs. I don’t see any place to provide feedback for the app, and it needs it. My spam and trash folders both indicate there’s still +99 emails in them, but I deleted them all. And weirdly I can’t delete emails from Adobe from my inbox. Additionally, when another app tries to open the email writer it isn’t populating the recipient field. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2025-04-11, version 1.1.58* I enjoy the premise of this app but it only counts some of my deleted emails and I’m not sure why. ### 3/5 — Optimization Needed Immediately *2025-02-28* If the app is supposed to support cleaning out emails, it begins to crash and become unreliable only after a few commands and/or mass deletes. The app is fine but I’m more than sure it’s recognized it’s buggy, lags, and crashes…can we get an optimization update? ### 3/5 — Suggestions for the Gmail UI *2025-02-10* 1. Being able to long-press on notifications and reply/delete/archive from there was convenient in the Gmail app. Would love for that function in Wildhero. 2. After moving an email to a folder, the Gmail app would return me to the inbox page, which saves me a step from having to exit out to the inbox page myself. If this is a swing I can turn on in Wildhero, please let me know! ### 3/5 — No Apple sign in *2024-05-15, version 1.1.12* I like the idea of the app, but I don’t use gmail for my email. I wish there was an option to sign in with my Apple ID. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ecosia for emails *2025-04-30* 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! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-03-21* 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome Concept, Great Execution *2025-03-17* I could say a lot of technical stuff about the app, but the most important part to me is the concept itself. I think the entire idea behind it is amazing. It’s honestly just really freakin’ cool and exciting and I love getting to be a part of it - in my small consumer-y way. There have been some bugs here and there, but I’ve gotten effective help when I’ve asked for it, it does what they say it will, and the interface is as user-friendly as any other email app. I recommend it to everyone I know. They’re probably tired of hearing about it at this point, tbh. Really happy this exists. ### 5/5 — Best email app ever *2025-01-27* I love this app so much. My email is a mess. I have so many promotional emails that I need to delete, but nothing motivates me to do that like being able to plant trees while I do it. This app has already helped me delete over 20,000 emails (I still have several thousand to go), unsubscribe from emails I will never read, & plant trees. For a fairly new app, it has surprisingly few bugs, & the bugs it does have can be reported straight to one of the co-founders, James, who is so responsive & kind. It works just like Gmail. Make the switch! ### 5/5 — Amazing app to plant trees with your email! *2025-01-26* I love Wildhero! I use it everyday and really enjoy watching the tree-counter climb just from doing what I normally do in my email. The interface looks and feels similar to Gmail (you can also pick Apple Mail) so there was no learning curve and the transition was really smooth. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to fund the reforesting of our planet without needing to change a single habit! ### 5/5 — A hopeful, helpful app *2025-01-25, version 1.1.53* Love doing something small to help the planet. All email users should be using this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-01-21* Great app and great company. This is a great way to manage my email and help the environment at the same time! They are also very receptive to feedback to keep making the app even better with each update. ### 5/5 — Helping the planet has never been easier *2025-01-21* A great way to help out the planet while doing daily activities. Definitely worth the download :) ### 5/5 — Works the same as mail, plants trees quickly *2025-01-21* It would be cool if users could customize it more. I’d increase the number of ads in my feed if It funded more trees. ### 5/5 — Trees for cleaning out emails *2025-01-15, version 1.1.52* Loving this app! It’s easy to swipe away emails and plants trees in the process. Thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
