How can we improve the AOL app?

← AOL Super App for iOS

Allow setting to default to inbox when opening app

I use AOL app primarily for mail. Until a few days ago, the app opened directly to my inbox. Now it suddenly opens to the Home tab, and I can’t find any way to set it to my preference.

    Since you’ve been “gathering feedback” for so long (and the MANY comments here are obviously not enough feedback), it’s pretty evident you really have no interest or intention of changing this back.

    Get this fixed! It’s stupid to MAKE users go to news first! Best option is to let the user choose in settings so that EVERYONE gets what they want. Stop messing around and fix this.

    I just want to go to my mail Not be forced raped by the Aol news photos! MORE than 3 time in ONE day! STOP

    AOL email app! Please. Nothing more

  • Lynn Brooks commented  ·   ·  Report

    Aol is primarily a mail app to me. I don’t discount the fact that you want to be and are a conveyer of information out there, but I would just like to have the OPTION of seeing the news, not the REQUIREMENT. Thanks for your consideration.

    You’re not gathering feedback. You’re ignoring us. This is a deal breaker. You better wake up soon.

  • Trina Bamber commented  ·   ·  Report

    OMG!! just seen this after trying for months in the settings how to change it back and having no luck!! I hate the news it’s mostly upsetting and demotivating and also shows me content I don’t want to see every morning and this is being forced upon us!!! WOW.. goodbye aol

    How about paying attention what’s being asked of AOL and do something about it! No one wants liberal news pushed on them.

  • GEORGE CIPOLLA commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go right to inbox- you are way too liberal for me in how you display your “news”! It sucks.

    I only use the app for mail. I like it more than my other email accounts so was willing to put up with ads. Now it defaults to a very cluttered click bait newsfeed that quite frankly stresses me out. I am tired of being constantly bombarded by toxic news. I use other sites when wanting news. Tried to figure out how to change news settings but it’s not an option. It’s the first time I have thought about leaving the app. People already make fun of me for still using it. I only stayed because the app was familiar. Now it’s annoying. Would probably pay a fee to close that news tab. If not, I will start using my gmail account for everything

    I have been with AOL for years and years, but I am seriously looking into switching over to another server. There are several reasons for this (one being that you don’t listen to your clients), but the main one now, is that I don’t like how you control what I see in your app. I already have apps for the news, so I don’t need to see a news page when I just want to read my emails. Also, the news on your main page are not the news I want to read. AOL is supposed to be AOL MAIL, not AOL NEWS! I also don’t like that you always add your invitation to join the “new” AOL app, when it isn’t even new! All I want at the bottom of my emails is my signature.

    I’ve been checking in every few months to see if you’ve fixed this. You haven’t. All of these votes and pages are calling for this change. Slowly transitioning away from AOL now. The end is near.

  • LM Cavaletto commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is ridiculous. It’s been months and you don’t listen to your customers. WE DO NOT CONSENT TO YOUR LIBERAL NEWS FEED BEING SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS. Get rid of the news. You’ve already lost a great deal of customers. Do you want to completely shut down???

  • Rob B. commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’ve just figured out that AOL now stands for All Out Liberal News. Don’t you realize when your news is so blatantly biased to one side, it becomes white noise to your readers. Please go back to being an email provider rather than attempting to sway an election. We love your email service but not your news feed. Thank you.

  • James Yamasaki commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’m deactivating my accounts and will actively market against your company. It has been months since this issue was brought to light and absolutely nothing has been done.

  • Rob B. commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you are going to force a politically divided country into your news feed every time we want to use your email service, why not have your news feed be more fair and balanced instead of being 100% left/liberal?

  • Sarah Taylor commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make MAIL the FIRST place to see as the HOME!! Home should always be MAIL!!

  • Chris Pierce commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is really bad, y'all. The news is not a safe place for anyone and shouldn't be forced at people who can't consent. This is wrong.

  • JANA MAUCH commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you don't undo this senseless setting, I'll open my mails exclusively via Apple's mobile app.
