Web/Mobile App Critique

 The mobile app I am familiar with would be the mail app on ios devices preferably the iphone. I review my mail almost every 2 hours because I have a variety of things coming in or that I need to send out. The mail app features are accessing multiple email accounts, reading and or replying to messages, being able to search/ filter the email and organize the emails.

Usability:

The mail app provides a person the ability to compose a message, read a email, organize their emails and delete emails. I just learned the apple mail is not intended for a business email management and maybe limited in certain areas.

 

Design:

The Apple mail did get a huge update with ios 18.2 where features like categorization, contact photos and a new inbox layout. I personally find the new layout overwhelming and very confusing. So I keep mines at the old feature which ios allows you to go back and forth between. Its less confusing and more straight to the point.

 

Functionality:

The app is very user friendly. It hold for myself so fair 6 emails and on one tab I can see all the emails and their content and tabs separately or I can press inbox and view all of them at once.

 

Recommendations for improvements:

1. Allowing spam messages be sent to junk mail no matter what server you are getting the spam message from. For example my yahoo account gets too many spam messages, but on the Mail app with ios I don’t have the option to mark as spam or junk. I only option is allows that removes the message is deleting it.
2. Have a feature or a window that we can move email we would like to go back and read. I know moving it to important or another tab is the best option for what I am wanting. I just wishing it could be a little easier and be able to keep it in my inbox tab.
3. Wish the design or color of the app could be changed and customized. Make it look nice.
