😴 Good for a couple unique features; else stick to mail.app 😴

Google doesn’t listen to gripes. Nuff said. Only if you NEED these and don’t have the time to develop bypasses should you use the Gmail app. - You have multiple email addresses known to gmail and you want to “send as” one other than your primary gmail address - You enjoy or need to “report spam”

Needs to incorporate basic inbox feature set

Missing basic must have features from Inbox which is being retired?!? 1. No snooze capability based on location 2. Snooze controls require multiple clicks in an email 3. General layout isn’t as streamlined as inbox & requires extra clicks - plz improve efficiency google!!! More below... 4. Setting gear is at the bottom of your label list 5. Account profiles is at the bottom of you label list 6. Can swipe to snooze, only archive 7. No button to select all or archive all in a bundle

Ads from google in my inbox

I get enough spam. I don’t need this app putting more in there after forcing me to get rid of the Inbox App. :(

New “features”

I kind of HATE how the folders/labels menu slides out at its own speed instead of following how quickly you swipe. I kinda hate a lot about the new app, but this and it’s lack of iPad usability are the two things I hate the most. Also, why the heck do I have to re-sign in every day now? Ridiculous.

It’s like having to go back to an old OS

Getting rid of inbox is basically like making me go back to macOS 9, because not enough people were upgrading to X. The bundling is so much worse that I wouldn’t even call what gmail does bundling.

Shell of its former sibiling

No dark mode, we had it. No smart email sorting, web and inbox had it. Smart important label is not so smart it’s littered with promo or ads. Please fix badge notifications and better visibility if snooze emails like inbox managed it.

Email isn’t updating/loading

Every since the update my app/emails hasn’t updated since Monday. I tried redownloading the app and it’s not loading. Not sure what else to do. Please fix

Sorting is sub par to Inbox

The sorting feature for gmail is mediocre compared to Inbox. I am missing important emails because the sorting does not function the way it did in Inbox. Even emails flagged to go into a certain folder show up in Promotions. Which is a folder I rarely open. I am soooo disappointed Inbox went away. I may have to resort to another email management app. Google, if you are listening, please integrate the features from Inbox into Gmail. The convenient feature of pinning an email to the top of the list is gone now. GOOGLE if you are listening, please incorporate some of the features from Inbox!

Ads ads & more ads

I went back to the generic iPhone Mail app. The automatic categorizing (general/promotions/social) is mute because it compete with an overwhelming number of ads. It gives me anxiety. I'm done.

New UI

Horrible new interface, now I have to click the top right button to change inboxes instead of the older and more intuitive and consistent method of sliding from the side. Dumb.
