Contact Matter Support

I successfully forwarded a variety of newsletters to Matter in an effort to clean up my inbox and enjoy reading newsletters all at one time rather than muddied with my other emails. Only a few weeks into using that or I realized that it was limiting the number of newsletters I could have in my inbox and automatically deleting them from matter, they weren’t even in my Matter archive. (I can however, find these newsletters in the archive of my email, but how am I supposed to remember which newsletters have and have not come through Matter and which ones have been deleted?) I really love the idea of this platform but wish I could have an unlimited number of newsletters in my Matter inbox. I’ve missed so many newsletters that I don’t even know about in the month of December after trying to use this.

I was really interested in this because it advertises itself as an all-in-one reader, and mentions blogs even in the search bar inside the app, but you cannot follow blogs with the app. It works to import your email newsletters but beyond that it has a very limited amount of writers you can follow. There’s no way to add other blogs to it manually. I really don’t understand why there isn’t a way to add the blogs you want to follow. They just say that you can submit a request to staff to add a writer. I tried that but never heard back. Very odd product. I’m a little concerned that it might just be a ploy to get data access to your email contents. I would definitely use this if it was possible to follow blogs with it, but for now it does not meet my needs, and I will likely be revoking the data permissions and deleting the app.

I’ve been using matter for months and log in today to find my feed completely locked down without purchasing a premium subscription. No warning, no real explanation. I now have to pay to see my own emails that have been there for months…. I’m all for subscriptions, but locking down all your existing features and not adding anything new of value when launching a premium sub is just bad strategy. What was free now costs money, and that is naturally frustrating. Especially when that thing is free in many, many other places on the web.
