“Unusable layout update—form over function — The latest interface redesign completely ruins the daily workflow. The main screen is cluttered with forced, un-removable "Spaces" category chips that constantly misclassify emails and waste top screen real estate. The floating search and compose bar blocks the bottom of the message list, requiring constant scrolling just to read subject lines. On top of that, low visual…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Go Back — Whatever they have done to this new, Yahoo is pathetic. I want to go back to my old email account.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“New yahoo is terrible — New yahoo is terrible. Whoever development should be fired.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Latest Update Sucks — The new version totally sucks. The only option for selecting emails for action is to select ALL. No more selecting just today or yesterday. The layout is very hard to use. I am literally deleting emails and the watch them immediately return to my inbox. The icon on my inbox says I have 10 unread messages even though I have been through all the emails and have none left unread. The icon on my…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Ads are touchy — The app works fine but when you are trying to clean your inbox by using the select button and then clicking down your list of emails (mostly junk for me) if you click on an ad to delete it erases the selection on all the prior emails you wanted to delete and you have to start all over again. Then you get a screen asking you to pay a fee to get ads erased. I was with comcast and they forced this…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Terrible update — This update is junk. I can not select all just todays or yesterday massages to delete. Lots of ad, and biggest is you can’t view the PDF” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“No VIP notification — Not happy. Harder to use. Took away the VIP notifications. Now it’s playing games and challenges. I just want my mail. If I want to play games, I’ll down load one.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“AI HAS JACKED UP MY EMAIL — I'm hugely frustrated with this whole update that I didn't ask for. Mail is being sent to categories/spaces that I don't want and are being misdirected. Example: financial stuff goes to Family and my Primary simply disappeared. I now must sift through All space. I want it just to go back to what it was before!!!!!!!” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Quit adding ai caca — Stop adding ai features no one asked for” — ★★☆☆☆ · English
