WunderMail

@lebaux Thanks for your feedback. We decide to give free users a fully featured version of the app. Therefore the free version is supported by ads. You are right that this could be better communicated by us. The premium subscription for 9.99$ a year has been created as some beta user wished to have a fully ad free experience.

@timchiller Hi Tim, thanks for the clarification. I understand that most people don’t share my outrage and hiding premium offerings is (sadly) valid and working sales strategy. I fully understand devs got to eat and for app to be sustainable it should have some sort of monetization plan — but I really like to see the deal upfront. “Free with ads, 10 bucks a month premium, got it, I can afford it, so let me try it now.” WunderMail itself looks great and it comes in a right time, as lots of people don’t exactly love the new native gmail interface. That being said, email is such essential part of stack, that I have to wait for considerable time just to see if the particular app is still being in the works. Last time I got excited about email client it was Nylas, then it was discontinued, and picked up again as Mailspring, and that looks more dead than alive today too. There is also Sparrow and heaps others, so hopefully you have longer future ahead of you! Have a nice weekend, Tim!

@timchiller @lebaux Absolutely agree with Pierre. I was looking for the monetisation strategy on the website too. But couldn't find anything. Thanks for the clarification though Tim!

@lebaux @preetesh_jain I totally agree that it should be possible to find out about or pricing options in front. I acknowledge that we could have done that better. Therefore I already created an additional pricing page and placed it prominent in the website header. We will update the store description as well with the next update. https://wundermail.app/pricing/

@lebaux @timchiller That's great. Wish you the best! 🙂

@timchiller does it support the gmail extensions?

@icartic We try to implement all Gmail features which are available via the Gmail API. Gmail Add-ons and Chrome extensions can not be accessed this way. Therefore we can unfortunately not support them at the moment.

@timchiller Nice one guys, good luck!

@timchiller Hey, I really liked your app. I have been looking for an awesome mail client for Windows 10 for long time. You saved my life :). Good luck!

@timchiller thank you for the heads-up. Cool UI design guys :)

@ron_cohen Hello Ron, thanks for the great question. WunderMail works completely local. This means the access token will not be send to our server. Therefore we do not have access to your mails. Instead the app is downloading a copy of your mails directly from the Google server in a local database in the App folder. As soon you delete the app, the local database gets also deleted. The only data which is shared to us is anonymous usage data. Also when you add an account in WunderMail if you want opt in for the newsletter. In case you opt in your mailaddress and some metadata like your signup date is send to us. However, receiving the newsletter is optional.

@timchiller Thank you for the clarification, great to hear that you are mined for the privacy & security of you users.

@timchiller 🔥 Wundermail is an incredible product, beautifully designed and executed! ⛔ About privacy, Your answer is great and hopeful, but the policies of the site do not reflect it at all 💥

@julianpardo Hello Julian, thanks for your feedback. As mentioned above the app itself is sharing nearly no data with us. However, you are correct that the privacy policy does not reflect this to 100%. This has two reasons: 1. To make sure the privacy policy is not using invalid formulations (especially in terms of the new GDPR) we decided to use an online tool for generating the privacy policy. This tools do not generate perfect results as they only have limited options for individualization. 2. The privacy policy is valid for our apps and our websites. Therefore the privacy policy states terms which are not used by the app itself. To provide you with an example lets take the collecting of "credentials" or "Social media logins". This is part of the privacy policy because we also run an support forum for the apps on a web page. To post into the forum you have to create an forum account. This can be done by social media login or by selecting your own password for the forum account. So we save you credentials of your forum account, in case you create an forum account on our web page. However, the app itself does not save or transfer any of this information. I hope this clarifies it a bit more.
