Email Client - Boomerang Mail

I've been thinking of changing my email app just for the sake of changing things up. Came across Boomerang in an email from Apple recommending a variety of apps, checked it out and decided to try it. First thing I see when I open it? "Start your free trial..." Yeah, I don't think so. Uninstalled immediately and I'm back looking for a free email app that's ACTUALLY free.

Being able to bring back (“boomerang”) emails after set periods of times under set circumstances is very powerful. Along with the scheduling and inbox pause features, I couldn’t imagine work life without it. But the app - it hasn’t been updated in a very long time. For years now, if you open an email, usually one with a longer thread, the text will all disappear after a few seconds. I try to rush to read them but end up going over to the Apple Mail app. Basically I will use this app to send emails via mobile and have them boomerang but to read email it is hit or miss. And that’s pretty frustrating.

Apple needs to remove this app because it’s a pay app. You shouldn’t have to pay to get your email in this day. Boomerang should be ashamed of themselves for this. If I could give this no stars I would. This use to be free and now it’s a paid app really just to get your email completely trash of an app.

Title says it all. I'm using the free plan, my ipad got rid of the app to save space, and I just redownloaded it. No purchases to restore, it just will not go away. The Android app and browser version work fine.

Not even going to try the free 7 day or 14 day trial because that price point is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, if some people are willing to pay those types of subscription fees? Be my guest. But then again, some people think the world is flat. What people do or think doesn't make it a good idea. I'll just use outlook for all my email accounts. At least I can incorporate cloud storage and and entire office suite of apps into my email app.

I have been using boomerang for a while now and just came back to read reviews and research other email apps and Im astonished at all of the negative reviews. I use the outlook plug in for follow ups, planning meetings and polling for meetings along with other features and it works well without EVER any issues. Im very happy to pay to use software to help support the developers and think its ridiculous to think that their hard work should be free. This solution works! happy to give a great review and pay for their hard work. Thank you boomerang!

I LOVE Boomerang and all its functions in a desktop browser, I’m a big evangelist for their scheduling plugin too - but this app is barely functional. Retrieving emails (your ONE job!) is a pain and doesn’t work consistently, emails get weirdly truncated, long threads get formatted such that only a couple of letters appear per line so you have to scroll a ridiculously long time to get through a message. I really hope this app is improved significantly.

No support for paid option. They do not respond to support emails. Also it appears their Facebook page is abandoned. I like the app. But this is unacceptable for a paid app.

But the cost is prohibitive. $170/ year is too much for this service. I understand you need to make a living and there’s a cost associated with keeping this app updated and/ or maintained. However, it’s priced a bit too high. If it’s $70 year, I’ll reconsider. Not at this price. 😞

Advertised as free, it aint! $200/yr no way!
