User Reviews

Users largely praise Proton Mail for its privacy-centric, secure design, reliability, and a free tier that doesn’t bombard with ads. Many reviews highlight a clean, easy-to-use interface and ongoing development. However, the app has notable drawbacks: the unread badge is often inaccurate, formatting and font-size readability can be poor, and basic mobile usability like sorting by header and robust search are lacking. Users also report a number of bugs with slow or inconsistent support. Overall, Proton Mail remains a trusted, privacy-focused option, but usability issues temper enthusiasm.

Pros

Privacy-first, security-focused design with zero ads and zero-knowledge architecture.
Reliability over years with ongoing improvements.
Free tier available with strong security features (paid plans for more).
Clean, intuitive, and generally polished user experience.
Active development and regular updates across Proton apps.

Cons

Unread badge/count is frequently wrong/broken.
Missing basic mobile features: sorting by sender/subject and robust search; filters are limited.
Formatting and readability issues: inconsistent formatting and hard-to-read fonts; no easy font-size control.
Numerous bugs and slow/responsive support; fixes often slow.
Clunky feel or UX inconsistencies that make the app seem dated in places.

Recent reviews

I am unfortunately not a fan of this new UI update, and I instantly opted to keep my inbox as is. Even so, there are minor but annoying permanent changes that I don’t like. Offering these as granular/customizable options would’ve been much better. It’s a small thing, but please implement top/bottom options for the Unread button placement. Not everyone uses their phone the same way and, for me, the new placement achieves the opposite of its intended effect.

Easily the one company I hold the highest level of trust with. Been using their VPN for years (and I’m not one to pay for subscriptions). Mail has been something I’ve used much less but always for the highly sensitive things. Great app, great services, amazing company. Until Switzerland agrees to bend over on their privacy laws, Proton is the cats pajamas for all of your needs. **update: forgot to mention that the ability to change the app icon to something more inconspicuous is a great feature. But the name should either change with it to match the photo, just be changed to “Proton” (or something), or allow users to create a custom name. Otherwise a calculator app with the name “proton mail” draws more attention than the regular icon.
