Proton Mail

I recently upgraded from the free Proton plan to one of the paid plans. I like the whole suite of tools and how well they work across my devices and platforms. My only complaints about this app are: the interface is kinda goofy and the app loads slowly. I'm sure it'll improve as Proton continues developing it. As far as the interface goes, the unfiltered inbox is visually busy and there doesn't seem to be a way to make "Unread" the default view. Any other issues will be iOS-wide, so nothing Proton could do about them.

Ignore the paid reviews. This pos app barely functions. Will not open. Sent a dozen emails that never went through and are absent from my sent history. Can’t check my storage cuz that won’t load either. Avoid, all other reviews are fake

I am unfortunately not a fan of this new UI update, and I instantly opted to keep my inbox as is. Even so, there are minor but annoying permanent changes that I don’t like. Offering these as granular/customizable options would’ve been much better. It’s a small thing, but please implement top/bottom options for the Unread button placement. Not everyone uses their phone the same way and, for me, the new placement achieves the opposite of its intended effect.

Easily the one company I hold the highest level of trust with. Been using their VPN for years (and I’m not one to pay for subscriptions). Mail has been something I’ve used much less but always for the highly sensitive things. Great app, great services, amazing company. Until Switzerland agrees to bend over on their privacy laws, Proton is the cats pajamas for all of your needs. **update: forgot to mention that the ability to change the app icon to something more inconspicuous is a great feature. But the name should either change with it to match the photo, just be changed to “Proton” (or something), or allow users to create a custom name. Otherwise a calculator app with the name “proton mail” draws more attention than the regular icon.

I’ve been a longtime Proton Mail user and overall I really like it. there are two small improvements I think would make the experience noticeably better. 1. Add a discreet mail icon The “Discreet app icon” feature is a great idea, but the current alternatives are Weather, Notes, and Calculator. It would be much more useful to have an actual discreet mail icon as an option, similar to the Apple Mail icon. I’d prefer to keep the app looking like a mail app rather than disguising it as a completely different type of app. Apple mail icon would be perfect disguise. 2. Make “Sync with system” the default on the web version When opening Proton Mail in a new/private browser tab for the first time, it defaults to Light mode even when the computer is already using Dark mode. You can manually switch it to “Auto-Sync with system,” but I think that should simply be the default behavior. This is especially noticeable when I log in through a private window at night while my computer is already in Dark mode. It’s a small detail, but having Proton auto follow the system appearance would make the experience feel much more seamless. These are both relatively small changes, but they would make an already excellent service noticeably better.

I was upset because the app use to send some data that was tracking your connection but not anymore. After a year on the basic plan it was a good investment. I have seen the changes to the app and it has not sent any data that exposes the connection. That is without a vpn so it may have but not recently. I have one email address left to create on my tier and decided to re-review it the app again. I’m having a better experience now and it is getting better. Love the pure email experience with no account sync even if it asks to link with my google account. If you don’t want to use or invest in the apple, google, and email sync then you should have this app. With games services linking more and more this app will help it stop. Just be aware you lose your account you lose the email but there are enough recovery options to avoid it. Thanks for removing the random telemetry data from the app so it can be used on my mac. Now I’m happy with this next step is replacing my social media email with a private paid version.
