It doesn’t work at all. I’ve opened ten winmail.dat files but I can see just the mail body text.

Prompts for email upon launch, ads run on pop-up window, foreign developer, buyer beware. Apple: are you watching the apps that are being uploaded? Obviously, this is something you should pay attention to. Why not add this functionality to Mail.app?

I cant believe I found something to take care of opening the winmail.dat files. It has annoyed me for years that I couldnt open these attachments on my phone but had to go to my computer: And it was free--or I hope it remains free. Great appl!

I just downloaded this app and it worked just as promised!!! I was able to see all of the files that were hidden in the winmail.dat! These were important documents. Thanks a lot!!

gensz3167 · 10 years ago

This app has opened all the Winmai|.dat files that Ive tried, and for free. I used to have trouble with many attachments that were sent from the home office of my employer. Now, I can open them on my phone or iPad and resend them to my computer. This app solved a BIG PROBLEM for me.

I send attachments to myself all the time from my work email to my gmail account on my Mac.I would never open these attachments without this app.This program has worked every time with no issues.Truly a life and time saver.

Casey990485476 · 10 years ago

I just got this app,and its working so far!Im finally able to see attachments on my Mac.The first app I tried that actually lets me view the attachment itself,not just the details about the attachment.Easy to use and worked perfectly.You should definitely download it.

resettl.Ho.1799 · 10 years ago

Downloaded to view a windat file attachment…when I click to open and view, I am immediately prompted to pay $7 to upgrade, so I can open the attachement. No, thank you…it appears the free version is worthless……

Beezeyob · 10 years ago

I needed something to open files people send to my gmail from there outlook accounts.It is easy to use and easily reads DAT files in emails.This app works perfect and quick.Thank you!

tanaodu069 · 10 years ago

Just what I needed. Worked without having to thinking. I was able to open the winmail.dat file and open the attachments within it. I have been worried about this type of file for along time, until the emergence of this software. I can receive winmail.dat files from the senders from my partner who are using outlook. It woks very well.

jingjuzhi557 · 10 years ago

I needed something to open files people send to my email from there outlook accounts. It works perfect. Its hard to believe that its free. I made it. It solved a big problem for me. It is awesome and I can finally do business on my Mac again. If you are business man, get it.

Deceptive Marketing

Adveryised as a free app but can't use without it pushing for a pay version.

Annoyed415 · 3 months ago

Doesn’t work

Printing is not working - useless.

+Chachacha+ · 7 months ago

Horrible app

Asking me to pay for an app to pay a bill. Just send me the bill!

Popmacheerio · 7 months ago

Cannot delete after having not open a document. No intuitive, not simple, not acceptable.

Attachment

The attachment: winmail.dat does not open on my computer! Why?

RonnyRacer · 11 months ago

Very helpful

This application helped me open .dat files into excel file.

Pipo_2000 · 1 year ago

Poor design choices

If all you need is to open a file then this is fine, but anything more than that and it hits you with paywall after paywall. Not to mention, they ask you if you want to pay them every time they open a file and open another page for you to drag and open along with the actual e-mail which is also just useless clutter. Do not recommend.

cochilette · 1 year ago

Won't open doc!

Downloaded app. When put doc in, can see the title but not the content!

Fixed Fee

I switched to this to avoid annuity fees. I am old school and purchase one time licenses. Maybe I am a fool.

lie2me · 1 year ago

DO NBOT USE OR PAY FOR

I find it a scam to have to open a business document and have to pay $10 to even open the attachment, then the attachament brings me to a drag and drop that wont even open the file either!

Manitoulin1948 · 1 year ago

The file worked great, but....

It was easy to open the .dat file. However, I needed to change the file from a .dat to .exe format and I was unable to accomplish that. I am still looking for an app that will allow me to change .dat to .exe

Mustraline · 1 year ago

kdjfkdfjkdjf · 1 year ago

Johnny LTM · 1 year ago

Does not work

Won't open email attachments unless you upgrade

Bible Beanie · 1 year ago

requires the overpriced add ons to open anything

Not free. Can't open anything without the addons.

Awesomeness cool mp · 1 year ago

doesn't open all attachments

The one on my iphone opens the attachments. this one doesn't. Plus, every time I try something, I get pestered for a rating, so I'm giving it a rating based on the small amount of time I've been trying and it hasn't worked.

ELynneStewart · 1 year ago

reh2626 · 2 years ago

TERRIBLE

cannot open any files from any source on my macbook pro.

Winnegurrl · 2 years ago

Not very intuitive

Not alot of directions come with this. It is not nearly as seamless as it needs to be to get .dat files opened. VERY frustrating

Atomicglow · 2 years ago

I can't open the stupid attachment!!!

My tax guy sent me an attachment using the .dat and I can't open it. It keeps telling me I have to buy something and I dont want it!!

Catc406 · 2 years ago

Confusing "upgrade" options

Typical bait and switch. To view attachments you have to pay. The thing that makes it worse is that there is no real way to know what you are getting for the upgrade prices.

AllTheGoodNicknamesAreGone · 2 years ago

Winmail.dat

App indicated it was free. I was able to read a message but not any of the attachments without a charge. Don't indicate it is free!

travelstop · 2 years ago

LOOK FOR OTHER APPS.

This app should be free for limited use. First of all, I've never been able to get it to work and Second of all it costs 4 times what another app that does work, only to use it once a year.

Couldn't make it work for me. Help!

Frank5935 · 2 years ago

gret design

The user-friendly interface makes viewing the contents of these files a breeze. Just drag and drop, and you're ready to view.

Bernard A Bacon · 2 years ago

work well

The extraction and viewing capabilities make this tool a must-have for managing winmail.dat, msg, and xps files. It has truly streamlined my workflow.

Robert B Coburn · 2 years ago

Incomplete

Allowed me to preview the winmail.dat file but did not allow to open the attachments within the file.

chc235673 · 3 years ago

No updates in 5 years

In-app paid upgrade not received. Requested refund.

RDM2-mac · 4 years ago

cannot use

have to pay for it to work, and i can't delete it without a password that i never signed up for

Mz cream cheese · 4 years ago

Not Free...Useless

The app is not free since you cannot actually open a file without paying for some sort of upgrade. That is not a free app.

Mike CanAmThai · 4 years ago

I can’t open it with my iMac!

The only thing that occurs when I drag a winmail file into the app is that it wants me to buy the $19.99 pro. What’s worse is that I am unable to figure out how to get a refund for the two $7.99 purchases that I made here in order to rectify the situation. I’m open to suggestions.

HerbNeu · 5 years ago

Doesn't work -- Scam

I paid for the full $20 pro version via in App purchase and the software doesn't work. This is false advertising. It says that I have to pay to be able to open .msg files. I paid and the app does not open the files. Apple should investigate this scam and help people get refunds.

I already have a nickname · 5 years ago

Useless Scam

I just got this “free” app to open some important files. It won’t actually open the files, just gives options for upgrading. Then I’m unable to retrieve my important files!!!! This is A SCAM!! I want my files back!!! Do Not Get This APP. I want my FILES BACK! This is just another crooked operation.

Brandy4891 · 5 years ago

Why would I pay if the trial does not work

The point of a trial is to convince me your software is worth my money. If I can't get it to work, why would I pay $20 for it to maybe not work there either.

gbmit · 5 years ago

Bate and switch

I wanted an app that would let me open windat files. This app apparently lets you look at the file icons. It does not open the file. It opens a pop-up screen for upgrading…. I remove this worthless app to find that it has taken the file I wanted to open. Worthless!!! Time wasting and very annoying!!!
