### 2/5 — Not what I paid for

*2023-05-11*

I pay each month just so I won’t have to look at any annoying ads. When I try to use the app, the first line is some advertisement for something I would never buy. When I login from my browser, no ads, only when using the app. I deleted the app & can’t see myself ever using it again.

### 2/5 — Can’t read sent msgs or spam msgs on iPad 10

*2023-03-10*

The Yahoo Mail app on iPad 10 only displays the inbox. IIt’s not possible to review Sent messages or to check spam.  There’s a little icon at the bottom of the screen that has up and down arrows - on the iPhone (not IPAD) this lets you display the various boxes. But on the iPad, this icon does nothing at all when you press it.

### 2/5 — Use to be Better

*2023-02-12, version 7.7.0*

Idk what’s going on with this app but my goodness has it gotten slow and laggy. Sometimes it just crashes on me. Whenever I’m switching email accounts it just acts up. I use to love this app but now every time I open it, I wonder how aggravated it’s gonna make me.

### 2/5 — Can’t sign in with Google

*2023-02-09, version 7.7.0*

The option to sign in with Google is at the bottom of the opening screen of the app, yet when I press on it and allow access, there is nowhere to log in through Google - only with Yahoo directly. Signing into Yahoo with my Google account works perfectly fine in the Safari browser, but I don’t want to consume Yahoo in my browser. This is irritating. Please fix it.

### 2/5 — issues

*2022-11-07, version 7.2.0*

The horoscope and daily fact doesn’t update automatically on the home screen

### 2/5 — Deleted App

*2022-11-04, version 7.2.0*

I used to use this app for news, but in the recent update they now require sign in to yahoo or Google to use the app. I deleted the app.

### 2/5 — (No Recipient)

*2022-07-29, version 6.58.0*

All of my Inbox emails say (No Recipient) and it will not load in the past four days. I’m not that popular but have plenty of businesses sending me something more often than 4 days.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2022-04-14, version 6.46.0*

This app has become unusable. It crashes on almost every article I read. Would prefer a fix but ready to move in another direction for random news articles.

### 1/5 — Frozen for 3 days

*2022-04-01, version 6.46.0*

### 1/5 — Mobile app

*2022-03-30, version 6.46.0*

I enjoy yahoo but the past couple of days I can’t even get in the mobile app. I have had to delete the app entirely and reinstall. One I reinstall it doesn’t even give me the option to sign in. It automatically reinstall with me logged in. I get none of my emails. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Yahoo email

*2022-03-30, version 6.46.0*

Yahoo has been not good lately, i rely on Yahoo for a lot of my business and important things but lately I have not be able to get my emails nor my save ones, what is going on, I really don’t want to switch but I probably have to, I don’t have time to try to figure out what is going on, I just could just go to a better relying mail that want have problems. Period

### 1/5 — Yahoo not working

*2022-03-29, version 6.46.0*

Yahoo will not work on my iPhone unless I’m on wifi. Every thing else loads except the yahoo app or yahoo website. I have been having an issue getting my emails for 2 weeks now I tried deleting the app reinstalling deleted and cache data I’ve tried everything yahoo will not work unless on wifi for some reason.

### 1/5 — You sold my email address!

*2021-11-01, version 6.39.0*

You sold my email address down into the dark web! Why else am I getting so many spam and keep receiving the same messages over and over again?! You won’t stop it! I mark it as spam and it keep coming back! Yahoo your about as worthless as the first day you came out! Do something about it! You need a class action lawsuit brought against you!

### 2/5 — Stories are looking for Truth an less slanted Propaganda.

*2021-10-02, version 6.39.0*

For getting rid of Yahoo simply because we don’t like all the one-sided reports that are being posted. And we’re really tired of the propaganda. AmericansNeed less mind control. Less propaganda please.... It looks more every day like the Yahoo! News is more fake set a two dollar bill. So we’re switching to a news organization that actually reports truth and not fibs and fake news. They’re not little scared boys and girls that report to the elites and are told what to do.

### 1/5 — The same issues

*2023-02-19, version 7.7.0*

I’m having logging in issues since last year till now till this moment wile the recovery steps I didn’t notice that some one have unlinked my phone number from my email account now feedback is not helping which lead’s me that the issues is from your security issues and support I was trying to fix it by your support they don’t send any of notifications someone is missing around and the page of help changing int Asian language so it’s hackers issues from what ever happened to many account I have bugs logging issues very bad behavior and treatment your response your feedback your support still Im suffering from such company like you pity that this happened how you can’t solve this issues or whatever from your support

### 1/5 — App Update?

*2023-02-09, version 7.7.0*

Yesterday, 2-8-23, I downloaded the latest “update”. Since that time I have been unable to open my mail and continually get the message of close it out and reopen. I’ve done this at least 25 times and it still doesn’t open. What gives?

### 1/5 — Mail

*2022-11-01, version 6.58.0*

Worst ever. Have to change password almost every 2 weeks. Hate service and will charge you to forward all your mail to another reliable user. 😡

### 1/5 — Organized email – it’s all terrible I used to love Yahoo

*2022-10-11, version 6.58.0*

Paid for premium service, I don’t know what happened I guess I’m just old-fashioned if I have any email, and of course I’ve had many, why do emails today email apps today feel like they have to be all in one? Bothers me.

### 1/5 — ATT has screwed up the emails agains

*2022-08-17, version 6.58.0*

It seems every couple of years, ATT sales the emails accounts. I’ve been using this app for years per ATT.  I select it and it’s prompting me to questions that don’t recognize anything I’ve listed.  Instead of ATT having a simple ‘reset password’ function, they’ve set up a process that protects us from us and locks us out of us. Terrible service. 😢

### 1/5 — I hate this app.

*2022-07-27, version 6.58.0*

Whenever I update this app, it deletes all my emails. I have to go through this elaborate process to get them back.

Also it won’t let me control the contacts. Somebody is spamming me hundreds of obscene contacts and there’s no way to delete them in bulk. How could you possibly delete them one at a time in a four step process? It’s insane. Please add a way to both delete contacts and blocked them.

### 1/5 — This app is terrible. Constantly freezes

*2022-07-24, version 6.58.0*

This app is terrible. It constantly freezes. I am unable to scroll through my messages or do anything more frequently than not. Terrible waste of time. I hate having to wait for 5-10 minutes to be able to read one email after the app unfreezes.

### 1/5 — No Dark mode

*2022-05-24, version 6.46.0*

So I downloaded this app a while back and didn’t really use it much. Much to my disappointment they got rid of their dark mode feature. A huge let down.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-04-16, version 6.46.0*

I had to delete the email app because it kept crashing every time I opened an email. So now  I’m using the Yahoo app to access my emails HOWEVER it doesn’t give me the option to access my starred emails. Why is that?

### 5/5 — Better app for mail

*2021-03-06, version 1.23.7*

This app is more reliable for Yahoo mail then the Yahoo mail app is.

### 4/5 — How to enable dark mode ??

*2022-08-18, version 6.58.0*

Can’t find dark mode all the time. Phoenix is in dark mode but not app.

### 4/5 — Dark Mode Please!

*2022-03-31, version 6.46.0*

All in all, this app isn’t too bad. Dark mode would give it 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Replaces my previous 1 Star Rating

*2020-09-02, version 1.23.3*

The issues in the previous release.

### 3/5 — News sports woo for yahoo

*2021-09-27, version 6.35.1*

I want to delete this app.  However if I delete this app, will it also delete the information (everything saved, files etc) from my regular yahoo app?

### 3/5 — Yahoo MAIL ORIGINAL USER and I REQUEST YOUR HELP.  PLEASE.

*2021-06-28, version 1.23.8*

I even paid for your email until it priced me out.  

Your calendar is / was outstanding BUT NOT NOW.  You cannot get there from here EASILY on my iPhone 11 Pro Max.  Is it just me.⁉️⁉️⁉️

Your email IS STILL THE BEST

### 3/5 — Notifications

*2021-03-29, version 1.23.8*

For some reason I no longer receive notifications when I receive an email. My notifications are turned on as well as the badges. This is for my iPhone 7.

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2021-03-22, version 1.23.7*

Something is broken, I check my mail every day with no issues now there is an issue. When I try to click on something someone has sent me it just highlights it in grey and doesn’t so anything.

### 3/5 — Audio

*2020-04-02, version 1.21.4*

You can’t exit out of app on phone and still have audio playing like how you can with the Yahoo Finance app.

### 3/5 — Push notifications don’t bring you to the article

*2020-03-23, version 1.21.3*

I like yahoo and always enjoy scrolling through the news articles but when they send you push notifications and you click to open them they don’t bring you to the article just to the app. It’s really annoying. Please fix this ASAP

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review, we will pass it along to our product team.-BR
