Opens Great... but you can't delete when finished.
The app works great to open these pesky files (which iOS should open by default), but my only issue is that one can't delete the files. This isn't really a major issue for me, since I am jailbroken and can access the file system, but one should be able to delete them in the app itself. Great easy fix for a stupid iOS issue, however. Good app.
I tried 3 free winmail openers that failed to open the winmail attachment. This is the only one I came across that accomplished that task. Exactly what I needed, thank you. And the ads don’t matter if you are using it for just one file every once in a while. Again thank you for creating an app that does what it says!!
Running Winmaildat Opener on an iPad Air 1st Gen, iOS 9.3.5 - it *totally* delivers the goods with no fuss, no mess, no bother. It was an easy decision to contribute 99 cents to the author of this app rather than look at ads to use it for free. It's a steal, worth every penny. Well done. Thanks for a great, easy to use product!
So happy to finally be able to read certain attachments that I could only read on a PC. It is nice that when I try to open, this app comes up as an option.
I found this App to genuinely fulfill my skeptical expectations. It has worked seamlessly to open my .dat-formatted files without corruption. I would recommend even those among us most reluctant, to offer this an opportunity. WCT
The app opens winmail dat files but groups them all together so that it is somewhat difficult to find them. They are numbered so the highest number is usually the last in but trying to find files afterwards can be challenging. Otherwise, good.
It works! First, download the app. Then go back to the email with the winmail attachment. Click on the attachment. You’ll be asked to chose a program to open winmail. Choose the new app and boom, it opens!
The application opens windat files fine, but will not allow me to save a photo, crashes the app every time. Windat can open and show me the photos, but that is it! The developer does not respond when you report a problem, either; I just requested a refund, stay as far away from this app as you can!
I frequently get emails with winmaildat attachments that I could not open on my iPad. I was forced to go to my desktop computer to view the attachments, what a pain! I found the Winmaildat app and gave it a try. To my great relief, it worked perfectly. It fact, I liked it so much I paid for the ad free version. I have to add, when I contacted the app maker about my purchase, he got right back to me! An app is only as good as its support and this one gets 5 stars! ,
I tried a couple of other viewers that either couldn't open .dat or wanted me to pay to open it. This app allowed me to open the attachment and print it. It gave a message about limits in free, given it actually proved it works before asking for money , I think limit is beyond fair. This I will be buying the full version when prompted. I love they prove their usefulness first.
Only windat opener that's actually free and useful. It's rarely necessary, but when it is...this does the trick, and allows you to move the file converted to PDF to Evernote or Goodreader or email, etc. No frills. None needed. Just a handy app to have for those rare occasions. I did notice like the previous review stated, there doesn't seem to be any way to delete the file once you've opened. I did take a star off for that. I'd prefer my files to be deleted from the app once converted. Perhaps in an update? Anyway...for what it DOES do? Many thanks.
This app is the best ... All the other winmail apps make you pay to open up a stupid email ,... But this one is the best because it's free... The other ones trick you and you think it's free but once you go to look at the email ... It gives you a price for the "extended version" it's annoying!!! But this one is great! I recommend it 👌
I cannot believe how easy the app is to use. the interface is well designed and intuitive. And it works - blazing fast. I was so impressed after using it just one time that I went back to the App Store to find the premium version to buy.
Seemed to work okay, but didn't couldn't open a small, multi-page xlsx file contained in the winmail file, though it did open another. Because it couldn't open all the files, I'd have to say that the app is unreliable. I can't roll the dice and hope it will open a file. Fix that bug and it gets 5 stars.
Simple, works perfectly. No pressures to buy anything, just a small, barely noticeable ad bar at the bottom. Even allows you to open the converted PDF in other apps.
Never judge by the looks! This app definitely needs an iOS7/8 make-up to be on par with the new design cues of iOS, but it works as mentioned. I used to have an impossible task opening attachments on my iPhone/iPad from Windows users, but this app makes it possible. I just wish they could update the look and feel of the app :( Update: PLEASE update look n feel of this app to reflect iOS 8!!
Winmail.dat Opener is a free app to open those common 'winmail.dat' attachments. This app is free of charge and fully functional, giving you access to the files without any need for further in-app purchases. The optional in-app-purchase will remove ads. Our app registers as a handler for .dat files. It is launched when you tap to open the "winmail.dat" attachment, enabling you to see a list of its contents. You can then preview, resend or print the contained files or save them to an album. This app will extract the winmail.dat on your phone or tablet, it does not require an Internet connection for this process. As our app is ad-supported, it has to ask for permission to access the Internet, despite the fact that the actual extraction process does not require an Internet connection. Kindly note that not every file ending with .dat is a winmail.dat file. So, before submitting a one star review stating that our service didn’t work, please ensure that your file is indeed a winmail.dat file and not one of a hundred different file types with a .dat extension.
