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.

    Please fix this!! It is very annoying. Why did you even think this was a good idea?

  • DAVID HIGH commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to access mail without wading thru news and the other BS that AOL thinks is important. Fix this mess!

    I saw a reply to another request for this…AOL said looking into it but in the meantime just hit inbox in the lower left…I’m sure we’ve ALL figured that out. No, it’s not hard to do but it’s ANNOYING that we have to! Please fix this.

    Ok I get it - you sell ad space and no one sees it. But we should have the OPTION to see the news or our inbox or whatever first - this shouldn’t be a non-changeable thing!

  • CYNTHIA DIETRICK commented  ·   ·  Report

    Switch it back mail in box. AOL you not listening to your customers?

  • Rick Thorne commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a stupid “feature”. There certainly should be an option of what page to open on.

    And if I switch accounts, don’t make them come up in “home”.

  • Lucy Hodges commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree with you all!
    Please change it back asap!!!

  • pappygee commented  ·   ·  Report

    Change it back!
    I don’t give a **** about seeing the news and **** when I want to just see my mail. If and when I want to see your news items, I will open it to that part.

    Not sure why this change was made but it is annoying! I use AOL for email so open up to my inbox PLEASE!

  • Valarie Michael commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with everyone ! Change it back , don’t look at the news!!

  • Daryl RESNICK commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is very annoying. Please change back to defaulting to Inbox. In the meantime,

  • JAMES STAFFORD commented  ·   ·  Report

    Josh, apparently they don’t care about our wishes. It’s a pain in the butt needless yo say.

  • MATTHEW and Diana LONG commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with the others! I use this account for email only and don’t want to see the news. Please fix this.

  • CYNTHIA DIETRICK commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not happy about opening the app and seeing news instead of my email. Change it back to when you open the app so that email opens.

  • DAVID MARTIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Now when I do open Mail it automatically opens the first email WHY WHY WHY DANGEROUS

    Hi. I have ADHD and I need to see my inbox on opening the mail app. This new view of all the “news” first is detrimental to my productivity. Fix it.

  • Rabbi Bobbie Rosenberg commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’m adding my voice to all the others; I am not pleased with this change. When I click on my email app, it’s to check my email, not the news. At least give users an option to have the app default to the page we prefer. And from what I have been reading, the preference is to have it open to the inbox.

  • TOM CURRAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I use the AOL app for email only. Up until the most recent update, I would open the app and it’d open in email, not “news.” Now it opens in “News” and that’s a big problem. I do not wish to view your propagandist bs. Change it back to the way it was or at least make an option in the settings to allow us to open in email instead of the garbage “news.” If you’re unwilling to do this one simple request that myself and countless others are asking, then I’m gonna have to move to a different email service. Thank you.
