1. [R2] Chuck 4/5 · US Incredible on iPhone, but…: Amazing on iPhone. Recently decided to use paid sub as my main email on MacBook Pro. Finding it annoying that every time I open chuck it seems to have forgotten I am a subscriber. Also, maybe I’m missing it but it looks like you can’t save drafts.
2. [R19] Chuck 2/5 · US Exactly what I needed, but with too many shortcomings.: This is exactly what I needed, but in the end I uninstalled it after buying and using the Pro version for two days. Here’s why… There is no desktop version for a streamlined experience on all my devices. My bad for not checking this upfront, this is a major turn off. The text is way too small and too thin, without any options to change it
3. [R21] Chuck 3/5 · US Great for organizing your email box: I had high hopes for the app as a replacement for the iOS Mail app but I found out that is has a lot of bugs and limited in features. Their support was responsive though. I think if they keep it up it can be really good someday.
4. [R63] Mailchimp Email Marketing 3/5 · US Can’t resend to select audience members: Trying to resend an existing campaign to specific audience members gives an “empty audience” error, even after confirming the audience selections.
5. [R5] Chuck 5/5 · US Best way to get to inbox zero quickly.: New update as of May 16, 2026: Super responsive developers who clearly care about keeping Chuck users happy. I’ve submitted bug reports on two separate occasions, and both times the customer service reps have contacted me in a very timely manner to resolve the issues. I’m still not thrilled with the new translucent interface (the previous style was a lot e
6. [R17] Chuck 5/5 · US The best app for keeping my inbox clean and organized: Chuck has made managing my email so much easier and faster. It lets me clear out huge batches of messages with one tap and helps me stay on top of everything without feeling overwhelmed. The interface is clean, the features work smoothly, and the unsubscribe tool is incredibly useful for cutting out junk. I love that it supports all my account
7. [R65] Mailchimp Email Marketing 5/5 · US Easy to use: I love how easy it is to use and add emails
8. [R1] Chuck 1/5 · US Notifications inconsistent: Notification banners always go through, but more often than not, no unread badge and mailbox is not refreshed till I open it. I do not experience the same behavior with Spark. I already emailed support. Funny thing is, it happens sometimes.
9. [R4] Chuck 1/5 · US Really bad: I don’t know why I haven’t deleted this app sooner. Every single time I get a notification that I have a new email, I click it and it does not open the email. It brings me to a screen with other emails. I try to click through the different ways to filter them but it’s always a toss up if the email will show up or not. I usually end up opening the actual website after for my email that
10. [R13] Chuck 2/5 · US So buggy: This app gets buggier by the day. I have one Gmail and one iCloud account registered. Over time Chuck simply stops syncing with one or the other of those accounts, and the “re-authorize” feature doesn’t nothing perceptible to improve that. When I try to sync, I just get and endless spinner icon with no errors, no updated email messages, nothing. Recently in desperation I uninstalled Chuc
11. [R42] Chuck 3/5 · US Keeps losing connection to my mailboxes: When I first got Chuck it was a big help to clean my mailbox but it keeps losing connection to my mailboxes and because of that I have missed a couple important emails. It was pretty disappointing. It has also been very slow recently. :/
12. [R3] Chuck 3/5 · US Paying for Pro with no features: Loved this app and all its features. Been paying monthly for the pro app. Some months ago I ended up mainly using Gmail but decided to go back to Chuck since I noticed I was still paying for their pro version. At this point some features had changed and it kept telling me to subscribe to Pro to use my usual features. Why am I being asked to add another Pro subscrip
13. [R18] Chuck 3/5 · US Great app, but...: I ran across Chuck in the App Store and downloaded it out of curiosity. Then I started playing around with.it and I love it! Just one small problem--when I went to.dump the spam and the trash, all I got was an.ad to buy the pro version. If I can't get rid of all the junk without paying you for the "privilege", what good is your free version?
14. [R28] Chuck 1/5 · US Rope you in with free features and then takes them away: They removed the free unsubscribe feature for free accounts. I was showing this app to every one of my clients and many were subscribing after I showed them how to use it. Lost money for your company Greed greed greed
15. [R73] Mailchimp Email Marketing 1/5 · US Overpriced and outdated: I’ve been using MailChimp since 2014 and their prices keep increasing to the point they haven’t introduced any new additions or features to an already stale platform. Their prices are too unreasonable to keep using them anymore.
16. [R16] Chuck 1/5 · US Can’t get support: First, let me say that I love this app. I have been using it for about three or four years without a glitch, until today. I have been paying for the pro version, yet today when I tried to look at sent email., I was told that the free version didn’t cover that. So, I went to support and tried to click on the contact us link and it didn’t work. I am not sure what to do about this
17. [R40] Chuck 1/5 · US Still no fix: Mark as read still not working. Another update, still hasn’t fixed it. Tried mark as read manually, that didn’t work either. Contacted support weeks ago about this issue, the only assistance was so generic it seemed like they may be using AI to respond. Last communication was more of the same, only this time they ended with “if you’re still having trouble logging in….”. I didn’t
18. [R67] Mailchimp Email Marketing 1/5 · US Used to be decent, no longer works on iOS and support is horrendous: The mobile app worked fine for years, but suddenly stopped working on all my iOS devices. Takes a week to get any response from support and they keep sending out the same canned “turn your device off and turn it on again” messages over and over again. There is literally no support and this is not an inexpensive platform. I am
