Inbox pause is great but can we set it to delete those paused emails automatically to save my storage?🤔

loved this app in my older phone but when I moved to my new Pixel3a running Andriod 10, I can't add my email accounts back to it. Every time I try to enter my Google Account, it pops up with the other accounts on the phone, but doesn't display the keyboard. So I have no way to change the information. Clearly something changed between Android 8 and Android 10.

Its OK on Android but there hasn't been any sort of significant update for years (even though it's been promised for years). To see what a beautiful, well designed Boomerang app can look like, take a look at their Apple apps. They seem to have abandoned Android even though Boomerang is best with Gmail. The company itself has started to charge for elements that used to be free, too (hence the reviews expecting a feature that it no longer has). No hate for that. Ya gotta pay your people.

Boomerang is awesome! it is one of the best and easiest email apps i have used for sending emails at a specific time. It's "Send Later" functionality is free to use in their mobile app, whilst the desktop gmail boomerang limits you to 10 "Send Later" emails per month.

The features are great and easily accessed (which is to say that the UI is well designed). I've been frustrated by not being able to find a dark-themed email app (easier on the eyes and the battery); boomerang has it all!

App has been much better now. Butl I still required some features for making it a recommendable email app: 1. Shortcut for emptying the folders of "Trash" and "Spam". 2. Options (like "delete" and "replying") coming for a single mail in the Notifications panel, should be enabled for multiple mails also. 3. Specifically searched mails shouldn't show up after deleting them. 4. Searched mails should have their respective folder destination's index/mark.

I want to like this but the email formatting makes it so difficult to use. It is formatted like a printed document with huge whitespace around the message and the text so small it is barely legible. Zooming in seems hit and miss. It looks like it tries to zoom but gives up. If it would have just displayed the text normally using the entire screen width available with a sensible sized font, I would have given it 5 stars.

This is a great application, it really is, but I've had to uninstall it as the way mail is displayed is bluntly, awful. As other reviewers have also said, the mail content seems to be displayed in a central column with heaps of white space on either side, making it very difficult to use. Gmail displays those same mails fully across the screen. The integration with Outlook was I thought a winner, but this app is sadly let down by it's handling of mails.

This is an incredible app, just like the browser extension is incredible. It's really useful and feature rich and I recommend checking it out. My favourite and most-used feature is send later. I use it to delay professional/official emails that I write in the middle of the night - they'll send at 7 AM instead of 3 or whatever - so I can maintain the illusion that I function on a normal schedule 🙃

I use it for reminders so Emails come back to me if I haven't gotten a reply. This is my very reliable back-up app. I left my first favourable review in 2017. I'm still happy with it in 2025.

I have been using the Boomerang website and app for many years. I love this because you get a lot of information with having a free plan. it comes in so handy for me with certain emails that I want to know if they have been checked or read or clicked. I have never had any problems and it's very accurate on how many times and when your emails have been opened. the app is great and easy to use and Boomerang as a whole I recommend to all Gmail users

App is trash! I needed a way to stop myself from incessantly checking emails right before bed. I downloaded this app, and set up all the different ways I can pause my incoming emails, then sent myself a test email from another account. The test emails slipped right through no matter which option I used. Immediate uninstall!

Having trouble with it on my Galaxy S8. Aspect ratio off. Display jumps around with touch/swipe. Not going to continue to use it until improved. Would love something like an extension for the Gmail app instead. Unsure if that is possible with mobile apps, but a girl can wish.

I don't usually go out of my way to review, but someone wrote an incredibly dumb 1 star review and I feel it's my duty to offset that. This app is great and helps stay organized. I work with many people in different timezones, and I'd have to be awake 24/7 to email at proper times. Now I can bulk address all my emails in one sitting and focus my brain on the next task without worry. As a bonus, it can also remind me a few days later if they haven't replied. Maybe they should stop being disorganized and use Boomerang too!

Found this using the browser extension and was happy to see that there is also a phone app for boomerang. I was trying to find something that let me send emails in the future for co-parenting. Like if there is an appointment or event. I can send out an initial email, then set one in advance to send a week before as a reminder. That way I won't have to worry about forgetting. It's been very helpful.

The app is great! So many great features for email, but I'm giving it 3 stars because the search function is not efficient at all and when returning to an already saved draft, there is always an error in sending the email where you basically need to copy paste your email into a newly composed one to send properly. PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!

The 'Send Later' feature isn't useful because there is no Outbox in the app that allows you to view/edit your email if you want. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of any email drafts. You can select multiple email drafts or one at a time to delete and the box will appear empty until you go to another folder and then go back to the Drafts folder. This needs work, but the Outbox thing shouldn't be an issue fo'real. With the Send Later feature, that should've been an available email box from jump!

It would be perfect, but it needs work. It is very confusing to tell whether it is recording your opens or clicks, or if the actual recipient opened the email from sender. The last one I sent said it was opened 5 times. How???? It is not solid proof your email was opened by the recipient, or even if it hasn't been sent already. Another issue. Too confusing. I have to delete.

Update 05/24: Boomerang has been back to working. For whatever reason, I can't get it to send me notifications despite the fact that I have that all allowed for the app in phone settings. Really weird. Sometimes swiping to delete doesn't work if I'm trying to delete several emails. Not a big deal, I just have to long press and check the emails to delete, but it would be great if it worked better. Features are still pretty great. Would love to have options for responding to calendar invites.

Great app all around, except just one (but significant!) thing: Virtually every email I open, I have to zoom in to actually be able to read! The app is just terrible at sizing the email to fit the screen, in my experience. A line of text is at least twice as long as it should be before it auto-wraps, and for ad emails, with lots of pictures and centered text, the content is about 1/3 of the width of the screen, with nearly equally-sized white space on either side. It doesn't make any sense.
