I've had this app on my phone for about a year. It has a loyal userbase and is generally spoken well of.<p>For me it hasn't been the best fit. I find the UI difficult to navigate and the controls non-intuitive.<p>For example: I'm working in an email and I need to do in-email stuff like forward, reply or reply all. Quickly.<p>There's a row of icons across the top of an email that look promising like an arrow pointing forward. Except it doesn't forward. The icons are all maintenance items; they're controls for stuff I'd do when I'm no longer in a hurry.<p>The reply options I want are hidden in a single button on the bottom. It has a reverse arrow and a 3-dot icon, indicating a menu. So yeah, these are clues but I really want signposts, not hints.<p>I want the context menu (hinted by ...) so I long-press the button. However, this dumps me into composing a reply to sender.<p>There <i>is</i> a context menu under the button but it's a single tap. It's the opposite action I expect for a context menu.<p>To recap: The actions I need are in an non-obvious place and the controls are reversed. By the time I've worked this out, I've had to unwind a half doz actions I didn't intend to do.<p>I usually quit now and go finish at a desktop. I use the app for notifications for a few months. After this much time, my next attempt is basically starting from scratch so I repeat the experience.<p>I usually know my way around email clients. I setup and manage email servers and have worked with about every email client there is. I once even used Sylpheed as my daily driver so I'm no stranger to oddballs.<p>I think FairEmail's devs are competent and know what they want. I think FE is an ethical product - unlike, say, Outlook for Android which injects crapware shortcuts into your OS context menus.<p>But FE doesn't work for me. It does - however - work for a lot of other users. I recommend you judge for yourself.
