Stoop Inbox

Newsletters are a thing - but they clog your inbox. I was happy to find Stoopinbox - a dedicated newsletter reader. Clean, thought through, and just really good. Recommended! *****

Finally a dedicated place to read and handle my newsletters. Feels very nice for now (haven’t tried Premium yet), I really was waiting for such a service with good UX.

I want to like this app, however it only seems to show recent newsletters and deletes the rest (which is a recent change without notifications). And even when I paid for Premium which supposedly says “unlimited history”, the history is still deleted. Which is very sad since I thought I could rely on Stoop.

Latest update has made this app terrible, and the lack of any updates since is really frustrating. I continue to use it because as of now it’s the only app of its kind, but the fact that the latest update was 6 months ago is a bit ridiculous.

Bought premium for folders but the feature does not work. I’m hoping I can get my money back

Was hoping for a lot more after they disappeared for a year. Folders still don’t let you see which newsletters they contain or let you add newsletters, which makes organizing hard. They GOT RID of the auto archive feature instead of fixing it. Seems like they broke the feature that opened the app to a home folder. The UI updates are nice I guess, but are mostly superficial. Still a good concept with mediocre execution. For most I think you’re better off just sticking with normal email.

Long time user of Stoop and I absolutely love this app for managing my newsletter subscriptions. However several key features that made this app so great in the past have either been removed or are so hidden in folders that this app isn’t worth using anymore. Instead of opening up to your daily newsletters you’re presented with all the app’s folders, and you have to manually enter the Unread Section. The swipe features to archive a newsletter aren’t available or working (I’m not too sure what’s going on here). Forced Dark or Light mode system mirroring (there isn’t an option to choose) is convenient except when you only want to use Stoop in a mode different than your iOS settings. The + button on the top right has the exact same options as the bottom half of the home page when you open the app...why take us there if the settings are ALWAYS in the top right corner?! Worst of all the newsletter discovery has been reduced so much I’m not sure why they didn’t just kill it with the other features they removed. Sadly this is still one of the best newsletter readers in the App Store, but honestly.... Why can’t we choose: what screen we open to on the app, if we want dark or light mode and if we want swipe actions? If I find out you’re moving these features to Stoop Premium...

Very pleased to see some signs of life with the new 2.1 update for iPad. Enjoying the new layout and features. Signed up for premium his month after demoing the service for a few months prior. My only complaints are * Several emails to support have gone unanswered * Merge function is buggy with the web interface

I love the concept of this app, and almost immediately upgraded to premium. As a news junkie, this app has helped me discipline my reading habits (somewhat). The experience of being able to read newsletters in one focused location is superb. There are still some UI tweaks to be fixed, which I’ve written to the developers about directly. If you love newsletters, get this app, and support these developers! It is worth the time and effort to get it setup right. Pro tip: for many news publishers (WSJ!), you’ll need to change your account email with them to your “@stoopinbox.com” address in order to receive them correctly.

Every other reading app I know of has the ability to select and copy text. This app is useless to me if I can’t copy snippets from my own emails to share with others.
