Love it!
I dunno how they do it, but my family has used PaperKarma for years and we’ve drastically reduced our junk mail. Over time, it just becomes a preventative maintenance thing like dental care or oil changes.
No longer works
This app has been abandoned. It no longer opts out, support is no longer reachable, but it will still allow you to pay for a subscription
No Longer Working
I was somewhat skeptical of this app, but after paying for an upgrade and using it for several months, my junk mail has gone down. The logo identification feature almost never works and comes up with some really bizarre potential matches. After upgrading iPadOS, the app no longer works. Whenever I try to take a picture of logo, I get a message stating the flash is disabled and I cannot add the mailer. Developer has not responded to my contacts through the app.
Works but app is glitchy
App works but the logo identifier is useless; location services doesn’t work as it seems the developer hasn’t kept up with iOS updates. It’s a manual process but it still does what it says. Hope they clean up the bugs.
Love it
I’ve used this app to unsubscribe from hundreds of mailers and for 95% of them, I never heard from them again!
Completely unresponsive to customer service
Their website contact us form is broken and they don’t respond to messages on Facebook or Twitter. Extremely disappointed
Ineffective
The app requires you to take a photo of the envelope to determine the sender. But it is almost never accurate. So I just take a photo of my table, which it categorizes as “Scott’s Lawn Service” or similar nonsense, and override it with the correct answer. More to the point, it doesn’t work anymore, if it ever did. At first I saw maybe a 30% reduction in spam. Better than nothing, so I kept at it. Now it is practically useless. I have submissions from 4+ years ago that it confidently claims are “unsubscribed” and there they are in the mailbox again the following week.
Works behind-the-scenes, but the app is terrible
My main complaint is you have to use their photo recognition to find the company. It only worked for me a few times. I always end up searching manually, but I have to take a photo and wait for it to process. The entry process for your name and address is very tedious. I don’t know why you have to fully enter a new address for each person. Can I not just use a previous entry as a starting point? It just feels like they have never used the app or they would have noticed these It seems to work on the backend though, and my junk mail has gone down significantly! So 3 stars
Reduced junk mail!
When I moved into my condo as a first-time home owner, I was getting dozens of advertising mail every week for the past previous owners and there were many. I would see several different household names that the mail was addressed to. I’ve been using this app for 4 years since I moved in and have seen a big difference in the reduced mail I get now. It took a few weeks/months to see the majority of the mail reduce. Now I only get mail addressed to me (with an occasional random mail to someone else) but I can even eliminate the ones I don’t want to get. As I keep getting mail from random companies, I keep using this app. The companies I request to stop sending mail, do actually stop. This has been such a useful service and is really worth it. So grateful it exists.
No Response
When people leave negative reviews, they respond with “send an email to…”. I sent emails to that address (and others) over two weeks ago with ZERO response. No thanks
Cancel subscription?!
Well 1st IF I got an email notice of pending subscription renewal, I didnt recognize JetLLC, so it renewed-also it seems after countless requests to stop so many charities requesting$ theybstill come-been a year
Decent but needs work
Been a subscriber for many months however I’m very disappointed in the inability to add new mailers to the list. This is a major flaw
Give it a couple months and you’ll start to notice the difference.
We’ve been using PaperKarma for several months now, and the difference really stood out when we went out of town. When we returned, we had only about a sixth of the mail we’d received during the same trip the previous year. Last year, after placing a mail hold with the post office, we came home to nearly five pounds of mail—almost all of it junk, aside from a few holiday cards from family and friends. This year, after using PaperKarma and being gone for the same amount of time, we had only a couple of advertising pieces. Everything else was legitimate mail from friends, family, or businesses we actually needed to hear from. Be patient—you’ll see that it works. Keep taking photos of the mailers you don’t want, and over time the junk pile really does shrink.
Scam
I paid for an upgrade so I could add addresses. However I’m still unable to do that. And customer service has not respond to my email.
App is poor, too soon to speak for the service
It hasn’t been 12 weeks yet so can’t speak for whether or not the service has an impact but the app is very poorly executed. It effectively NEVER recognizes the sender or addressee when I scan mail requiring a manual selection every time. These are all typed addresses and any decent software should be able to recognize them with out an issue. Ten years ago this wouldn’t have surprised me but it’s much less than I expect from an app in 2025.
Buggy
Adding names and addresses is buggy. It doesn’t update correctly between the address book and submitting
Best app to save time and the environment
I was so sick of getting junk mail when I read about Paper Karma in a substack article. It’s the best $25 I ever spent. Not only do I not have to spend hours sorting through junk mail for recycling, garbage and shredding, but our mail has been reduced to a maximum of one or two pieces a day, when previously it was 7 to 10 pieces a day. Junk mail pollutes our environment. It also wastes our time. Get Paper Karma today and save yourself the hassle. Just a few minutes a day and within a few weeks you will notice a huge difference in the amount of junk that comes into your house.
Getting worse.
I understand that removal of your name from various mailing lists is a tedious process. However, when I subscribed to this application years ago, the success rate was substantially higher. Right now, not only can the application never find the mailer when I take the picture with the app, even if the mailer is well known. For example, American Automobile Association. But almost always, the submissions via the app result in absolutely zero impact. I continue to receive junk from the same companies three months later, six months later, one year, two years. Even repeat submissions for the same company do not result in any improvement. If my success rate of having the junk mail stopped via PaperKarma is 20%, then even that is probably an overestimation. Not recommended.
Misleading, even with the paid version
We paid over $70 for the lifetime version of this app, based on all of the positive reviews. However, here we are over 4 months later, and have had to resubmit a couple dozen unsubscribe requests that “FAILED”. What gives? It’s very disappointing. While we have went from receiving 20+ junk mail charitable solicitations per day to 10, that is still way too much. Please do better holding these awful vultures accountable!!
Photo scanner is garbage
So I think big picture this app is gradually working but the catalog photo scanner works basically never which was the biggest selling point of paying for the service versus using another free manual service. I honestly don’t understand how the scanner is so bad. The suggestions it gives after I take a photo of catalog logo are so wildly off, it would be funny if it weren’t so consistent and so irritating. And as far as I can tell, you can’t bypass the photo, so I have to have the go through this frustrating experience each time I receive a catalog.
My favorite app of all time
Paper Karma has completely stopped all our junk mail. I tried repeatably to stop Amex card offers but they kept on coming until Paper Karma. It did take a little time to get off the lists but it works. We hardly get any mail these days. Highly recommended.
Please remove photo aspect
Please remove photo of logo aspect as it never works - 100% failure rate - and only wastes users time.
Used to be decent
This app stopped a lot of mail at first. But now it never recognizes the company when I take a pic of the mailer and all my recent submissions are still showing “processing” over a month later. The app really went downhill
Mostly works, but it’s tedious
The opt out process seems to work for about 70% of my junk mail, which is a pretty solid amount but the app and user interface are quite clunky and could use a lot of polish.
This app works
It just works - 5 stars because I haven’t received any junk postage in the last 2 months. Thank you for saving me from this spam nightmare 🙏🏼
App is currently broken
September 25, 2025- App is completely broken, nothing is working.
Mail didn’t stop
After a year of using this junk mail still arrives from both repeat and new offenders. I found the team responsive when in the beginning my flags had not been processed months later so they get a star for that and the ease of use on the application but ultimately this was not effective.
Works and makes a difference!
I have been using this app since 2015 to make a visible dent on junkmail. I am happy to report that this app really works: The reporting process it follows actually leads to results, and it makes it pretty seamless to request to be taken off list. It's great to have a way to fight back because the truth is advertisers don't think you'll take the time.
Full of bugs
App crashes half of the times I try to use it
Did not work for me
I used this app for a full year and continued to receive the same junk mail. Cool idea but it didnt work for me.
Would give 6 stars if I could
Amazing app. Easy to use, and does exactly what it says it does. My junk mail has gone down to zero. Absolutely love it
Not worth the price
I decided to pay for this app because I get a lot of junk mail. Do not pay for it. I was supposedly unsubscribed from certain mailers (according to the app) but I’m STILL receiving mail from those companies. Also, support is almost non existent. I wish I could get my money back, because even though it wasn’t much, it’s still not worth spending if this company isn’t going to do their job.
Does not work. Trying since 2017.
Don’t waste your money. I still get twice my weight in junk mail every month, and mostly from places Paperkarma alleges to have “successfully unsubscribed” from. Great idea, doesn’t work. What is convenient is it provides the phone numbers you can call from each harasser to ask firmly that they delete you from their address book.
Look forward to junk mail now!
We have a lot of folks at our address and make a lot of orders and donations. So I was swimming in junk. Now with Paper Karma I can take action and it’s fun. I laugh because now I’m excited to get the mail to see if I can send in more junk!
Doesn't work
Won't let me register, it just gives me a vague error message that doesn't offer any helpful information
