## Shortwave Reviews in United States

### ***** "Small but powerful app"
The app itself is very small (less than 25MB at time of review) which is really nice! Will say tho that in the end it’s just an email interface but I like it wayy more than Gmails (close to 1 GB of space)…
-- nicknameisrequired., 2026-07-18

### **--- "Still fails miserably at basic tasks"
I had high hopes, but this app still is so prone to mistakes that its usefulness is significantly reduced. Just one example: the last time I tried adding an event to my calendar, it kept messing up the time zone despite me telling it explicitly which time zone to use. For some reason it seemed obsessed with converting everything to and from Eastern Time even though I'm in CST. I ended up having to manually edit the event and switch it to the right time. These types of issues are constant with this app. It's like having a bad employee that you're almost better off firing and doing without.
-- BrockDotInc, 2026-07-16

### *---- "Unreliable"
Good idea but totally unreliable with a poorly architected backend. The back end keeps crashing on me with an error and no one can help. Now the Mac desktop app kept freezing my computer and bricking out. Tried everything and now I’m left with a mess because it doesn’t sync over.
-- James Vondo, 2026-06-16

### *---- "Scam"
Had the same email for 15 years. Within 5 days of using this app, my email was logged into by other people who proceeded to steal all of my info and email my financial service companies attempting to transfer assets.
-- dashguy69, 2026-03-17

### ***-- "Being Replaced By Tasklet?"
Over the last couple of months, Shortwave has had recurring issues, and I’m frustrated by the lack of transparency. Quotas keep being reduced or changed without clear communication—even when using the same AI models. On top of that, the app hasn’t meaningfully changed in a while beyond quota adjustments, while focus appears to be shifting to Tasklet. Is Shortwave still actively on the roadmap, or are we in maintenance mode?
-- C2theN, 2026-02-07

### ***-- "Nice idea, but not useful in practice"
Was excited to see a new Inbox-like product. Unfortunately, the label/folder crossover system is clunky in practice and I found myself quickly getting frustrated when labels are applied incorrectly to incoming emails and even correctly-labeled emails are in the wrong folder. The AI is also unhelpful on mobile, as you can’t use the multi-select feature that’s available on desktop. There’s also not much evidence of responsive learning here, as the system doesn’t seem to improve regardless of how much you tweak the labeling or try to work with the chatbot. All in all a nice experiment, but it seems like the team is going too hard on AI rather than prioritizing building an actual email service.
-- clarity82, 2025-12-15

### **--- "Love Shortwave, hate the iPad app"
Shortwave is amazing. It has the best AI assistant, particularly for things like scheduling meetings on my calendar.  But the iPad app is just terrible. No keyboard shortcuts, lots of bugs and errors with windowed mode in iPadOS 26. Everything is just in one pane, rather than like the desktop/web app. Seems to operate like a scaled up iPhone app rather than an actual iPad app.
-- Duskdrums, 2025-10-13

### ***** "Surprising good!"
Overall quite impressed as the app is a great compliment to the desktop/web based platform. Only lacking item is auto advance to next email. Very pleased!
-- Si02Man, 2025-09-30

### ***-- "Missing Key Features"
Would be great, but missing key features that most basic email clients have. Specifically in formatting: can’t bold or italicize text. Can’t create formatted lists. Can’t turn text into links: the only way to hyperlink is to drop the entire link into the body of the email.

Has the potential to be great, but you’ve got to also master the basics.
-- shan3yc, 2025-09-24

### ****- "Pretty decent"
Really cool app. My only complaint is they need to offer more email providers other than Gmail.
-- Reizrblade21, 2025-09-21
