It is for a 14 day trial offer. If i could i woukd give it -⭐⭐. Don't say an app is free if it isn't. Say from the beginning that it is only a trial offer. Maybe the app is ok, maybe it is not. When they have to "con"you to get you to try an app;it says alot about the Integrity of the ones putting out the app. They hsve even contacted me about my review. Bottom line be up front about your apps FREE is FREE.

I was inundated by emails with scantily dressed women in PDFs, offers to refinance my house, pay for house maintenance insurance... you understand what I was deleting. I looked around and intercepting mallard and spam before it even got into my mailbox without making correspondents digitally sign documents that would purchase your first born at will, was a great idea. It does what you tell it to do, adapts its filters in a couple of days and worth every penny. Get it. You won't regret it.

I've used this for a few years and it is OK. However, it now won't let me renew my annual subscription without ticking the box agreeing to auto renewal of subscriptions. I'm not prepared to do that and find it a shoddy practice. Disappointed.

Evoid this app like plague!!! I had only had this app for TWO minutes on my device til I found out it was trial version, because developer "forgot" to mention up front IT IS A TRIAL VERSION, and two minutes is what it takes to know u don't want it. Keep away from this app! I don't know why, but the moment I removed this app from my phone, I started receivivg ten times more garbage in my mailbox than before!!! The app will keep screening your mail even if immediately removed.

It is easy to setup. It is easy to review what it blocks. or allows. you can blacklist or release mail as desired. It does a great job in blocking spam and is a useful backup to see emails that arrived but I managed to delete.

This is much more than an app. It is a system that works if your willing to put in the time to set it up. They give you 2 weeks for free to try it out. There are no ads in the ap and the cost is reasonable. I just found that it took me more time setting up the app than just deleting the unwanted emails.

Just what it says on the tin. Great. It really works. One year on still happy and renewed. Completely fed up though with being reminded to rate the app. Almost to the point of deleting it.

Not one to leave reviews, but finding that support is non existent! When app is working works as needed, but support is email only and absolutely untimely. Recently changed emails to Microsoft exchange server and has not worked since. Neither myself or my IT Support can get Spamdrain to respond and help us rectify the issue. Would be five stars if support was timely and on task. Support continues to get worse. Would love to down grade to negative stars, but not given that option. After waiting 48+ hours the response from support was "you have create another support ticket regarding the issue. Could you please reply to the one support ticket in order to avoid any confusion". I was completely dump founded (polite way to describe emotion)! No attempt to support existing issue and get things working again. Evidently juggling two tickets completely overwhelmed and confused their highly skill support team! Buyer be extremely wary.

This is a truly wonderful app. One of my emails is 25 years old and I continue using it. However it got prone to non-stop spam emails coming in and I got tired blocking. Outlook/Hotmail's spam block is not so efficient. But Spamdrain knocks the nasty emails on head. I can always filter the good ones. It is fun to kill the spams in one go, thru Spamdrain.

Works perfectly. I wasn't sure about a subscription service but after a few weeks of use I'm converted. Used to get about 30 spams each day but now I get none. Plus it can be taught which marketing emails are wanted and which to mark as spam. Best anti spam product for Android.

Very happy with this service over many years which is why I continue to renew. The amount of junk mail is staggering, and seems to be getting even worse. So what my internal junk mail filter misses, Spam Drain catches. I check it daily to restore wanted mail, usually related to a retail transaction I made. Sometimes the overzealous service snaps it up, but it is easily recovered. Thank you for this service! PS: My husband does not have this on his tablet and he gets so much spam mail it is unbelievable! I may have to gift him a subscription.

I had been receiving up to 45 spam emails a day, and no amount of "add to junk" or "block sender" was helping stop these. After downloading the Spamdrain app and setting it up to check my email account, the spam emails just stopped coming through! I could still cross-check these in the Spamdrain app, confirm if some had been incorrectly classified, and was really pleased to see that this service worked across all my emails, whether received on desktop or via mobile email app. I cannot recommend the Spamdrain filter highly enough!

I was getting hammered everyday with spam. This took care of the problem instantly. Really easy to use and if it catches something you want easy to identify so that it releases in the future. Very happy with the product.

Brilliant. I was unfortunately involved in a data breach resulting in my email being flooded 2-3 times a day with spam. Didn't matter what I did to try and stop it. This app stops it in it's tracks and it's very easy to choose to keep the mail I want. Absolute lifesaver. Thanks guys.

I installed spamdrain and it worked too good by sending emails I wanted to my deleted restore folder. I uninstalled the app and it is still moving wanted messages to this folder. Managing emails on the website is tedious at best. I can't figure out how to make it stop. The app is not installed and when I try to close my account from the website it gives me an error. I strongly recommend you take this app out of the store.

So Spamdrain. I was searching for a quick mobile app to finally get rid of spam mails on my mail accounts. And even though the app doesnt look as appealing to modern standards it works great. Easy to use and quick to check. Got nearly all my spam mail without many wrong detections like my normal spam filter. Yes this is a subscription service. But the price is more than ok for a yearly subscription and i certainly will use it on all my accounts. Can really recommend it.

Recently the app has gotten MUCH worse at catching spam. It misses several a week when it used to miss none and they are obvious junk addresses or junk subject lines.

Just to be clear, this is not so much an app as it is a cloud-based service which operates outside the boundaries of the cell phone to prevent spam from reaching all devices where I read my email -- cell phone, tablet, Mozilla Thunderbird on my laptop. The service works beautifully. I can see all blocked/allowed emails in the mobile app or website and tell SpamDrain to release a blocked newsletter or email. I normally hate subscriptions, but this is very reasonably priced so I paid after trial.

I have used this app for several years and I've been very pleased until the past few weeks. Suddenly SpamDrain is no longer working. My subscription is paid. I have emailed them to see what's wrong, with no response. Update 3/5/20 I have downrated to a 1 from a 2. After I changed my password, the app is still not working, and I get the same automated replies. My subscription is paid until October. I have used this app for 6 years with good results, but now it is NOT working.

My most important emails do not get filtered into my inbox. I'm not sure whats going on. I even put it as a VIP and do not get them in my inbox. The system does not no the difference even though i have it whitelisted. I am not sure the system knows the difference between good domains and bad ones, since I need to search the app inbox folder daily since many of my good emails end up there rather than in my email inbox. I need help immediately to fix this problem. Thanks
