2023-05-30	Maxim TSchi	Am Anfang noch ganz gut. Wir haben es eigentlich nur die Funktion mit der E-Mail boomerang genutzt. Praktisch wenn man nach paar Tage die E-Mail wieder angezeigt bekommt die man markiert hat. Aber jetzt hat Boomerang es einfach Zahlungspflichtig gemacht. Für diese kleine funktionier sollen wir jetzt 20€ monatlich bezahlen. 3 Jahre kostenlos und jetzt will man Geld haben. NOGO! Wird entfernt, gibt genug kostenlose alternativen.
2023-05-07	Hsing-Ju Ke	Just want to say this is a good tool for me. I have it added for years. Just there are similar functionalities included in gmail, so I don't need any extension now.
2023-04-20	Mila Davis	Its great when it works
2023-02-18	Vinoth Sugunan	Signature feature requires paid subscription.
2023-01-15	M&F Google Domain	Boomerang works for me since 2014. Seems that Google Gmail is still not convinced and these features not yet standardized in Gmail. After so much years of proven track record and so much Boomerang users, this worries me. Why is Gmail not enhanced with Boomerang?
2023-01-01	Parker Howell	recurring emails feature requires subscription.....
2022-11-10	Susan Fleming	I have been using Boomerang for years and absolutely cannot do without it. The reminders/prompts have kept things from falling through the cracks so many times, and I love knowing that when I "boomerang" something, it will not get lost. I recently needed to contact support about my account (not a functionality issue), and the quick response and assistance I received was far above my expectations.
2022-09-23	Todd Welch	Love this plugin but it has really started to slow down Gmail to the point that it is unusable and I keep having to disable the plugin.
2022-09-16	Chris Hornak	'm a busy business owner, and I love to stay in touch with my clients, but it's hard to keep up with my inbox. Fortunately, Boomerang for Gmail makes it easy to follow up with emails that I may otherwise forget. I just added it as a browser extension, and whenever I want to send an email back to myself at some later point, I simply click the "Boomerang" button before sending it. It's also nice that I can think of something late at night and have Boomerang send it in the morning so I have time to react before getting caught up in work again. I love this tool. It makes it easy for me to remember to follow up with emails I may otherwise forget!
2022-04-29	Michael B	I installed this to send myself monthly reminders (aka Recurring Messages). Under Plans and Pricing it says "It is free to use Boomerang, up to a limited number of messages per month." But even before the first reminder was sent, Boomerang informed me that to continue using Recurring Messages, I'd need to subscribe. I get it, but I sure don't need it. Removed. "After the trial ends, all of your Boomerangs and Send Laters will be delivered as scheduled. However, your Recurring Messages will be canceled. If you'd like to upgrade your subscription to allow for unlimited messages and premium features, click the link below to purchase a subscription. Buy a subscription"

2022-01-13	Brian Moore	great for organizing and helping prioritize my inbox.
2021-12-14	Sharon Newman	How do I uninstall? I am NOT getting my emails like as I should. I need this removed asap. I don't see anywhere that will allow me to uninstall.
2021-12-10	Ben Miller	Boomerang saved me so much time and hassle at work. An incredible amount. It's easier to use than the native snooze in gmail and so much more flexible (and a ton of other features). Everyone I showed it to ended up getting it as well and loved it. Very, very highly recommend.
2021-11-29	Gabriel Dicristofaro	Excellent app to help write emails. The green bars (on desktop) have literally increased the quality of my emails to people 200%-300%. I've used Boomerang this last a lot for job and client communications, which need to be pro. Bars go from 1-7, so you can see if your email is trash or closer to gold. Subject Body Question Highly recommended. High Five to the dev team on this one. PS. As a person with writing challenges, this helps a lot with proofing the quality of an engaging, thoughtful email. It is a life gift.
2021-11-17	Julien Cornebise	I could not work without that extension! It has brought me back to Inbox 0, and allows me to be so much more reactive. The most useful productivity app in my full toolbox, bar none.
2021-10-06	Sevan Harootonian	What happen to automatically detecting time/date when scheduling events? That was the feature i used the most..
2021-07-28	Greg Collins	LOVE the Boomerang Calendar and being able to quickly share my LIVE availability with anyone with a couple clicks. It's by far the best implementation of this. I HATE everything else about this app. Way too many unwanted features that I can't turn off. It takes over my whole Gmail experience when I really only want one button when composing emails. Disabling the extension for this reason, which is a bummer. I already pay for Calendly and would gladly pay monthly to have this calendar feature by itself.. Until then, I am uninstalling this extension.
2021-07-05	Joel Andrews Abraham	Worst email tracker ever. I didnt even find any tracking details regarding the send mail. Worst User experience also. cant find any information anywhere. I cant close the help video. why are there so many permissions required. so many clicks. I cant believe they charge all this when there are free alternatives available like mailtrack, openedornot,mail alert
2021-03-19	Kenneth J	Thank you for a long time. - killed by gmail, proudly
2021-02-13	Chri Feghaly	Byfar the best gmail extension ive ever used
2021-01-23	Ron	it's a paid subscription or free
2020-12-15	Ocean Spine	This works really well except that in gmail the draft I'm working is often obscured by the gmail menu bar and I cannot minimize or maximize. I tried disabling other extensions and the problem persists. Now that Gmail has a send later feature this bug might be really difficult to overlook. Already tried troubleshooting and was told that it was probably another extension.
2020-10-15	Michael Staton	Boomerang takes over your email and all I want was the availability sharing. They should have a version just for that. In addition, whether or not it even showed up was unpredictable. I tried to share my availability a few times and it wasn't even an option in those emails. Total fail.
