How can we improve the AOL app?

← AOL Super App for iOS
'I’d find it a GREAT IMPROVEMENT to be able to check my email without seeing Trump each time I open the AOL app.' has been merged into this idea

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.

    I have noticed in the last few weeks that instead of allowing us to click on Mail as we used to, we are automatically taken to your news. Since this is an ejection year, your decision to do this is obvious. And I’m not the only one annoyed as the moment I typed in my feedback, other complaints came up. I’m sure that most of us ignore your news anyway because we receive ours from any direct but AOL. Just give me my mail, and should I decide to look at your “news” I will but please reflect my intelligence and those of others and quit spreading your “need”, which I’m sure you’ll immediately change back to email first after November.

    Keep your [annoying and boring] political feed separate and allow those of us read our email without the news headlines.

  • Anna Sapte commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please make the default front screen “Mail” and not “News”. This is an email app.

    So…how much feedback do you actually need to gather? This has been going on for a LONG time and feedback is plentiful that users want to OPEN TO OUR INBOX! What’s it going to take for you to listen and fix this?????

  • Mike Dalton commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is ridiculous! I need to see my e-mail 1st. I cannot get past a Home page that pops up. Fix this

  • PHILLIP GREEN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have just deleted the AOL app, I can only access my AOL email as a bookmark in my browser... sorry I miss the news and all the other good AOL stuff but I didn't want a front page newspaper with my email buried beneath.. I read The Times.... Probably will start to drift away from this OLD email account.

    I do NOT want the news just my email!
    You can spoil a persons whole day by your news feed.
    I will go close my account if it’s not changed back.

    I have, for example, no interest in King Charles’ prostate. I don’t want to see Trump every time I open the app. Whoever is managing this is in need of adult supervision.

  • phil hanson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do not want your news feed. We need a way to disable it.

  • Sarah Willis commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don’t want to see the news as it’s too depressing. I never watch the news and you are causing stress. I use it for emails. Please turn it off so that it only opens on emails

  • JEAN HAND commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do not use aol for news. I do not want the app to open in news. I want to see my email first AND I do not want aol to automatically open the newest email.

  • Alisha Gallini commented  ·   ·  Report

    I see a lot of comments about the liberal ***** to AOL news. Let me speak as a liberal to say that click bait is a better way to describe AOL news and I want the mail to be the default screen. I click AOL to read my mail, not the news. I’m going to gmail after nearly thirty years on AOL because of this issue.

  • kaye jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Ferg Ferg commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Christopher Kennedy commented  ·   ·  Report

    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
