Wurde dann hingewiesen, diese ohne Werbung nutzen zu können - Kostenpunkt 99 Cent….. leider steht dort nichts über die Häufigkeit! 99 Cent einmalig? Monatlich? ### 2/5 — Not what it says. *2020-03-04, version 1.4* Does not open .rtf emails. ### 1/5 — Muy mal *2020-03-02, version 1.4* Cambia el archivo de winmail a pdf pero solo lo puedes abrir previo pago de 5€ ### 5/5 — Far out *2020-02-07, version 1.4* Muito bom! Abre os arquivos com simplicidade e eficiência. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-12-06, version 1.4* Nothing more to add ### 1/5 — Crashes Constantly. Doesn’t Save *2019-11-29, version 1.4* Love the concept but this app constantly crashes and closes out when I try to save. ### 1/5 — It does not work on IOS 13 *2019-11-21, version 1.4* The winmail.dat attachment shows the icon When I tap on the attachment, one of the options is to copy the attachment to winmail.dat opener. When I select this option, the application stars that there is no openable attachment The FAQ mentions that the winmail.dat might only contain the message text, which is what I want to read, and why I bought this app. So this is a disappointing purchase. “ Q: The app doesn't find any attachments? A: Not all winmail.dat files contain attachments. Sometimes the winmail.dat file only contains the message text and some style information for Outlook. If your winmail.dat file is small (less than 20KB) it is likely that there are no attachments contained.” ### 1/5 — not working *2019-11-21, version 1.4* not working ### 2/5 — Mal geht sie *2019-11-16, version 1.4* mal zeigt sie nicht alle oder keine Dateien an. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother paying to remove ads *2019-10-21, version 1.4* Don’t bother paying to remove the ads, next time you try to use the programme you will have to pay again which is not, of course mentioned! Will be trying to locate another windatmail programme where I don’t get ripped off 99p per use if I want to avoid ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Schade … *2024-07-08, version 1.6* … hatte jahrelang treue Dienste geleistet, öffnet aber mittlerweile keine Anhänge mehr. 😢 ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2024-02-06, version 1.6* Does not open Winmaildat files. A complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert überhaupt nicht *2023-12-19, version 1.6* Die App funktioniert weder auf meinem IPhone 15, noch auf meinem iPad Pro. Die Datei mit der Endung Winmail.dat wird überhaupt nicht geöffnet… ### 1/5 — Useless ap *2023-07-25, version 1.5* Does not work! ### 1/5 — 使えない *2022-12-13, version 1.5* 全て英語で使い方もわからん。 ### 1/5 — 最悪です。 *2022-05-09, version 1.4* 課金したが役に立たない。 ### 1/5 — Want my money back *2022-02-12, version 1.4* It didn’t open a single file whether 43kb or 4.4mb! Not one single file. I want my money back!! ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2020-12-16, version 1.4* They stole my credit card details and tried to use them fraudulently. Avoid. ### 1/5 — 開けないのに、支払ってしまった *2020-10-09, version 1.4* winmail.datを開こうとしても添付されてないというようなコメントが出て開けず、トライしているうちに課金に応じてしまいました。 これは、やめた方がいいです。 ### 1/5 — Soll kostenlos sein????? *2020-06-30, version 1.4* Beim öffnen der App stand oben Werbung, unten ein Hinweis Werbung beseitigen, hätte ich nicht betätigen sollen, schwupp 1,09€ bezahlt. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works as designed *2023-06-20, version 1.5* …funktioniert reibungslos. 99 Cent einmalig ohne Werbung. Super Fair ### 5/5 — Winmaildat Opener *2023-03-28, version 1.5* iMac ? ### 5/5 — Thank You *2022-05-28, version 1.4* This inexpensive app works perfectly. ### 5/5 — Perfekt *2021-11-12, version 1.4* Funktioniert einwandfrei! ### 5/5 — Good as *2021-09-03, version 1.4* Awesome app to easy to use simple as even for me as I’m not a phone person but it was perfect ### 5/5 — Seems to work! *2021-07-27, version 1.4* Decided to give it a go as was getting so frustrated with receiving dat files on my phone when sent from my work Outlook account. Worked perfectly. Hopefully it continues to work as well going forward. Decided to pay the $1.50 to get rid of ads. Hopefully a small payment like that gets you the more stable version. Relieved! ### 5/5 — Does the job *2021-01-09, version 1.4* Just tap the winmail.dat attachment, then find the Winmaildat Opener to share it with. The attachment can be read. Small, lightweight app doing a very important job with no fuss and funded by unobtrusive ads. Five stars. It’s just a shame this isn’t simply integrated into the Apple mail app. Apple should licence it or make an offer for the company. ### 5/5 — Works well *2020-12-30, version 1.4* I have had this problem of not being able to open winmail.dat files for some time now on my iPhone 6. This program works great. Now I can see what I have been missing. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Resolve! *2020-08-07, version 1.4* 👏🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Funktioniert *2020-05-12, version 1.4* Tut was sie soll --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
