SpamDrain - email spam filter for Android
I'm a paid member of this app, its been working great until I updated to Android Oreo then I noticed it keeps logging me out? Every time I got to use the app I have to log in again?? Please advise.. Otherwise fantastic app :)
I highly recommend to everyone to get the Spamdrain app asap☺???????????????? If you ''hate" ???????? to recieve unwanted emails from unwanted sources, if you are scared ???? to open them up cos of possible scam, virus, etc. Then p l e a s e download this app. Before, I use to was getting loads of 'funny' emails, 'sex'- porn emails, scam-one's, God knows what. I was stressed out and furious. I tried to unsubscribe from them without any good results!????The emails would come back again, ignoring my 'nice' pledges to 'just' stop and to delete my email address from their computer!???????? Then my partner told me about the 'Spamdrain'. I wasn't convinced first, but I decided to give it a go. And...I never looked back. I am very happy with Spamdrain (the Swedish Computer Wizardly company!???????????? They're checking thoroughtly all my incoming emails daily, and block the one's that I tell/ inform them to block as Spam. I can change my mind at any time and just 'click on certain email to 'allow' or not. Subscribing to Spamdrain it was the best ever thing that I have done to protect myself from rubbish and unwanted emails. Period. And I'll definitely will be renewing my membership in 2018. Thank you Spamdrain! Thumbs up! ???????????? Cheers from Polish ????????/Aussie ???????? gran ????????????????????????????
I have been very pleased with this app....works great and has made my inbox SO much better
I will say this again The service actually works,. BUT the app doesn't, I don't care how many updates they do it never connects to the server's, I always have to use the web to delete and check. .
I like the service. After the latest update, the App is unusable. I'm having to manage my spam filters on their website. Which works, but I'd rather use their app. Up until a week ago, the app had been slow, but it worked. Now the UI has gotten stupid (it now only works in portrait mode, it used to work in landscape.) And more problematically, its syncing doesn't work. I can sometimes download some of my blocked emails, but my allowed emails simply never appear. It's clearly a problem between the app and their servers, because their website works fine. ==EDITED== As the company has stated in their response, they have addressed the problems in last night's update. I've updated my rating, and thanked them for their quick response. ==EDITED AGAIN== As of 12/15/2017 their app is broken again. I still like the service, but their QA leaves much to be desired.
I have no idea what happened; the latest update is awful. It crashed on launch over 50% of the time. The rest of the time it will launch and not be connected.
In my line of work I have to deal with alot of spam I try this app because I have over 5 thousand e-spam-mail
I have to pay for you to stop my spam? Nope
Used to work great, and was one of my best apps ever, but now although it blocks emails from reaching my inbox, I still get a notification of new email, which renders the app useless to me. Have tried to email developer, but no response. It's a shame because it was a great app.
Alright so I have used this app for trial for 14 days! The app is just amazing!! Does an amazing job detecting spam better than some of the biggest companies out there that I have tried. One downside is the price, I am using this for my personal email and paying 24euro a year is in my opinion OP. That's literally the annual license price for a whole anti-virus package nowadays. If this app was between 5-7euros a year I would buy it without hesitation.
Worked ok at first. Now im manually deleating 99 to 240 junk emails a day. God help if i ever have to log in. Pass words are never anygood. Have to change them over and 0ver Have never hot help from Spamdrain
app was great , now dont work. if its not fixed i wont ever renew and ill go elsewhere
Absolutely Fantastic. Works like a charm. I have my email account back. Easily worth the few dollars per year.
I have used this for 3 months now. It has cut down my inbox phenomenally and hardly gets anything wrong. So easy to control from my mobile but is effective on my laptop and tablet as well. Easy to setup and use. Love it and wish I'd found it years ago!
Bizarre...installed, connected my email non-Gmail account successfully and it downloaded the 'welcome to SpamDrain' email but nothing else. There were no other emails in it's 'Allowed' or 'Blocked' interfaces. So I went over to AquaMail (my IMAP client on my tablet) and checked the emails there and found the SpamDrain email in there, along with the other 200+ SPAM emails I wanted to start filtering. I know it could take a while to download all emails but at least a few should start showing up! Why does it not download the emails?
Login issue "my bad". I changed my email password for security reasons but could not log back in to Spam Drain. Finally I realized to request a password re-set using Spam Drain and then enter my new password. Just had to re-start filtering of course.
My update after one year. Every day their are at least 2 and sometimes more emails that are obviously not spam in the filter. I have used the white list feature a lot but it is still catching random emails. And, the cutesy emails are really annoying. I will not be renewing. It blocks everything that is spam, looks like spam or smells like spam. It has an easy feature to white list addresses, but not servers. For example, it thinks my server is spam so every employee is automatically blocked until I individually white list them. I still have to go through the spam list everyday and find several emails which were not spam. That defeats the purpose of a spam filter. Also, the cutesy comments in the emails are very lame. I don't want to renew because of them.
I was getting way to much spam in my inbox . It only took about a week for spamdrain to clean.
It was really good till i moved to a new provider with the same phone number and email since then getting spam drain to help me recover the full use if the app has been poor they keep trying to give me fifths I have told them don't work will probably have to delete the account as support is poor
Very annoyed you've doubled your prices. I'm looking for an alternative service.
Installed last night. Woke up this morning...looked at my email...something wrong...no spam!!!!
Does not work for Verizon pop3.
No longer working on Android 6.0. Have to turn off and on to get the information.
I guess this works. Not what I need however. I'm uninstalling it because I simply don't need it. But it's good if you do.
Spam filtering has improved significantly.
Searched and this appears to be the only viable Android Spam Email App that does the job... Well it used to, but recently more and more spam is getting through or won't let me login? Think it needs a upgrade or a patch like MS Security is always doing! Please solve this and will gladly give 5* again!! :0(
Used to be great. Now, very difficult to receive email. Must repeatedly open and close mail app. Must have a server handshake problem. Reported the issue twice, but received no reply.
It keeps letting a particular company's emails through marked green despite me logging them as spam. Ok for a few days then through they come.
It's doing the job well so far. But you need to teach it what is spam and what not. And here the problem. I receive about 20 to 50 spam emails per day. There is no way to mark ALL emails at once to tell it's spam? Do I really need to use drop down menu on every single email? I am not a robot. Fix it please.
My favorite app of them all. Keeps my inbox clean as a whistle. Well worth the money to any level of email user. Worked great out of the (digital) box. There is a little learning curve but right now I have to manually mark single spam items that slip through maybe twice a month. But there are dozens and dozens and dozens of spam posts that it gobbles up. Still highly recommended, more than ever.

I install the app.thinking it will block all spam email. I tried it for 2 days.But,I still getting about 20 spam emails a day.Most from scammers and advertisements.Even I report that the emails was spam.The same emails would pop up!I'm uninstalling the app. Thank god I didn't pay for the pro version.It doesn't work!
Yeah l renewed it, l spent months unsubscribing and even more junk came! 75+% of my email was spam! Now no spam, my spamster is working hard, easy to use l recommend, you have to train it some at first.
Compared to all the other crap I have come across, this actually works! Flawlessly. Catch rate is almost 100% for me 2 weeks into it. I have therefore paid for the subscription. Recommended
Well done guys! Keep it up...one issue coming up even after white listing email ids still is getting marked as spam defeats the purpose
Used to be great. I had a friend buy it too and now it is doing a TERRIBLE JOB at filtering. Letting thru emails that should not be. Please do a better job
Will not let me sign up! Password box not appearing!
Problem with app that you would think that once it blocks a site you would never see it again! But no. It's to bad b/c if it did then it would be great.

I really don't know what has happened to this app, but I have finally had enough of it not releasing e-mails to my email account. I can't open emails at all using the app. It constantly logs me off of my account, it won't work anymore with my gmail account, at all, and it keeps pausing the protection on said account. It keeps refusing to connect to the Spam drain servers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it on numerous occassions, which helps for two days, before it reverts back to having all the problems. I have had and paid for this app for over three years on three different email addresses, I even subscribed on a monthly basis. But I have had enough of all the problems and have uninstalled it completely and cancelled any subscriptions and accounts that I have with this company. I have now lost the money paid for protecting 3 addresses until April 2019. Please do not use this app, it isn't as good as it was, and a message to the company responsible for all the issues.........FIX IT!!!
