User Reviews

Reviews show the app can open and display .msg emails and is compatible with Outlook/Dropbox, and some users find it easy to use. However, multiple reports mention bad file format errors when opening .msg files, failure to load embedded images, and lack of basic formatting support. A few users describe it solving their problem and working as described, but others view it as a poor value at $2. Overall, functionality is inconsistent: reading text sometimes works, but full rendering and image handling are unreliable.
Pros
  • Opens and displays .msg files within the app
  • Recognizes the file type and can open from other apps (e.g., Dropbox, Outlook)
  • Allows reading the email content/text inside the app
  • Easy to use and provides a straightforward workflow to view messages
Cons
  • Bad file format errors / won’t open several .msg files
  • Cannot view or load embedded images; images not downloaded
  • Missing or poor message formatting support (basic formatting like bold/indentation not preserved)
  • Perceived poor value for money / perceived waste of $2

Unfortunately, while cheap, this isn’t good enough to actually be usable. I attempted to open an email with very basic formatting, and it couldn’t even handle indenting and bold. I’m going to try to get a refund.

Won’t view embedded singe images. Unusable for emails with multiple images and links. Waste of $2!
