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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I don’t like this change and I like the app to go back to open to inbox. I going to delete the app and us Mail on my iPhone

    Just adding my voice to those who object to the app change that now has the “Open App” default set to the Home page without providing a “Settings” option to change the default to Inbox. How stupid (sorry to be so blunt) must your systems analysts be to make this design change and your testing and implementation groups be to let this pass. Try letting real users do your testing next time. Please provide a “Settings” option to allow the user to pick the default open page. Thanks.

    I do not use AOL for news; I use aol for my email. I need the app to open to inbox as my landing page. Perhaps create a parameter in settings to set the landing page. Please don’t make me migrate to Outlook!

  • George Hall commented  ·   ·  Report

    I completely agree with Josh, et.al. My default is the “Home” page, and I want the default to continue to be “new mail” as my default.

  • Christopher J. Kennedy commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL just changed something where now whenever I open the app, it defaults to opening the news screen. I cannot get it to default back to new mail. Done. Deleted. I won’t be forced to ingest poison.

  • phil hanson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with josh and the others. I have no interest in your news page.

  • BARRY MCMILLAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is an extremely irritating change. If I am checking my email while listening to Audible, it cuts off my Audible Audio. This was not a problem when the aol app used to load at the inbox tab. All I want to do is check my email and I don’t want to get harassed by this audio killing home page nonsense.

    This change altered standard app default behavior in place for some time that affects all users. That it was implemented without also providing a settings option to allow us to override and select Inbox as the default screen on open is such bad practice and beyond annoying.

  • Sarah Laverriere commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes! I don’t want to see news/ politics every time I open my EMAIL. Just set the default back to how it was, inbox upon opening.

  • DARLYNA DRISCOLL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go back to old way. I use this for emails only. Can’t find email with all this other stuff in the way

  • marc1709 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please turn it back that inbox appears automaticly.

    Who is implementing such userUNfriendly ideas?
    At least give us a setting where we can choose by ourself!
    Thanks.

    I primarily use this app for email. Until a few days ago, it opened to my inbox. Now, the app opens to the Home tab first. I want to be able to select the mail/inbox tab as my default.
