Thank you for providing a service for secure emails and law enforcement agencies. I appreciate all the wonderful things that computers have been able to do for the Authorities and Simple Government programs to help understand and study many important aspects of the Government’s cybersecurity. I’m not a very smart person when it comes to computers and for the longest I got so nervous when losing passwords or because of ex boyfriend’s complicated my life. I appreciate all the hard work your able to do and if there’s anything that I can do to help please feel free to let me know. My Uncle was a very smart man working years for IBM . I’ve worked with Law enforcement and loved everything about it even when I was in the wrong . I’ve felt like others had learned of my work with authorities and scared me for a long time. I pray you can protect the men and woman in authorities and law enforcement agencies so their protected as much as they protect us! Thank you a very special prayer for your success! And again anything I can help with freely I would love to . I’ve not accomplished much in life but trauma and wrecks that held me back . That and addictions that lead me from traumas to that lifestyle. I believe in DEA and working with them had been the only thing I considered a successful path despite my loss in my own life in addiction. They especially the district attorney taught me to stand up for myself. Everyday I think of them! Also the ones that protected me in my lifestyle of addiction and toxic behaviors I’m overcoming truly ! Just a thank you to the men and women who truly matter to me! Using my head everyday forgiving myself and making sure my extended family you can say is protected too! Please TAKE MY THANK YOU SERIOUSLY I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
Left side menu randomly appears when opening the app and when switching between categories. Have to close and re-open app to get menu. Sometimes it stays, sometimes not. Still broken Was ok for a bit, but started random appearance of left side menu. Still broken GOOGLE! Nope, latest version still broke! GOOGLE, please fix Ok, here is what I observed. If I haven’t used the app for a while there is no menu (portrait mode). I close the app, re-open and menu appears. Then I use the app, and close it. If I re-open the app after a few minutes, the menu appears. Wait a long time, open the app, no menu. Latest version seems to fix menu issue. Thanks Oops, spoke to soon. Still random menu issue. What’s up, eh? Nope, still not fixed. Hey GOOGLE! Open app first time, no left side menu. Close it and open again, menu appears. Be going on since ipados15 started. HEY GOOGLE, PLEASE FIX YOUR APP. PLEASE, Nope not this time either! Is it really that hard? Looks like menu issue cannot be fixed by Google. Sad.
This is the only Email I’ve used for about 20 years. I’ve lost some cause I’m horrible at keeping passwords but hey if you aren’t important enough to for me to find you… I have like 6 fB for the same reason. But seriously I can’t complain. I know of countless people who use AOL and they were victims of fraud cause they would give credit for opening an account. I’m sure with good intentions but I’ve yet to be a victim of that. Only thing I can think of is please advise us that if we are opening an account that is not professional (hood or gang names or nick names with your account) that respectable or businesses will for the most part not respond when applying for a. Job. This was something I had to grow up and realize. My bad. Whole heartedly. But to those who are living a lifestyle and trying to do better. Keep it simple your name and some random off the wall numbers. Nicknames and hoods or areas or even area codes. Don’t really fly.
I enjoy using the GMail app. It works as expected and it is actually the only email app I use on my phone. However, I do have a couple of suggestion to further improve the app functionality and efficiency. Please add the ability to search for folders when moving messages from the inbox. It is really time consuming and cumbersome to “Move” a message out of the inbox, because you have to manually scroll through all your folders to select the one you want to move to. If there was a search option to quickly find the folder you would like to move the message to it would really improve my productivity on the app. Secondly, if the app could put my account email signature in the message like the desktop version does that would be real nice and help out a lot with my professionalism on the go with my phone. Thanks for your hard work and please consider incorporating these suggestions into the app if possible.
4 1/2 years ago I got the task of converting 560 people’s email boxes from Outlook with Exchane to Google mail. I asked for the change and I was given three weeks notice once the decision was made. The conversion was smooth and we have been using Google mail ever since. I have been using email applications since 1989. I do not know exactly when email was invented but that is nearly the beginning of it’s common usage. I’ve managed dozens of email servers and many thousands of email accounts. I have installed, managed, and used more than a dozen different email platforms. Google mail works great! I can truthfully say that four a half years ago Google Mail did not have all the features that Outlook Mail did. However, I can also truthfully and with the greatest confidence tell you that I have seen Google mail mature every month since. There is constant work going on as Google listens to their customers and makes Google Mail and Google Calendar and all of their other core apps better and better day by day. Outlook has now lost it’s 25+ year lead on Google Mail. Google’s office products are also rapidly improving and very usable for any organization. Look out Microsoft Office! We now have not only all of our employees, but all of our students using Google Mail on a daily basis. Our school district now has an active 4300 Google Mail accounts. Most of those are used on the rapidly improving Chromebooks running ChromeOS. Look out Microsoft Windows! Keep up keep up the good work Google friends!

I have had Gmail for longer than I recall having accounts, definitely 15 plus years presently. So I feel I can write a review and not be overly off in information. One I miss G+ I barely had a grasp of what that was as I had other social medias, except it improved the Gmail aspect. Now Gmail is 3 compartments and a number more including spam and Drafts and which occasionally is useful especially when interrupted while typing out something with thought. Speaking of spam it is rare actual junk mail it is not, though it might be nice to have some aspect of *fraud* awareness such as it seems sometimes someone breaks into our lives and offers something that has me going into that spam bucket and I do not see a way to ramp down that players game. Hmm maybe not you may have the right approach after all Gmail. To bring another perk lost awareness I have not noticed Gmail Artworks in some time celebrating the Day or week or month, it has gotten kinda corporate gray lately online. Gmail, I think you serve this sector well perhaps some quicker way on devices for batch elimination of emails, it is a little bleak deleting the thicket of usual interactions I really think of as spam, you know that telephone pole garage sale of sites I use. Yeah it’s not easy to shred 7 pages of emails from a company wasting money attempting my premium membership since 2009, I am deleted mostly through 2017 except those important people like my dad, who has since past, how do I read archived email? Definitely thank you I hope that’s easy enough of an assay.
In general I like this mail app a lot. I am happy to have my inbox sorted as it is on the desktop. I wish it was easier to attach documents from “Pages” and “Files” instead of only from the camera, recent attachments and drive. But my biggest complaint is this: When I go to open a link from an email and it asks if I want to use chrome or safari, I choose safari because that is my preference on my iPhone. I switch off the little “ask me every time” button. The very next time I go to open a link from an email, it could be the exact same link one second later, the browser preference window opens again, with the button switched on. It adds an unnecessary step every time I look at things from an email. Also, my saved safari things don’t all translate over to the safari that pops up within the app. I know you want me to use chrome because it is your product, but you offer a choice so it would be nice if that choice worked 😊
We called Winters plumbing to look at our 10 year old high efficiency boiler because it was making strange noises. The friendly woman on the phone was sympathetic and scheduled our appointment for the next day. The next day the tech was able to come out even earlier than the scheduled time, so, after calling to give us the option of keeping the scheduled time or coming earlier we chose earlier. He arrived on time looked at the boiler and diagnosed it was low on pressure immediately, fiddled with the pressure reducing valve for 2 sec and took care of the issue. He then went on to give me a tutorial on my boiler, taking into account its age, make, and history. He closed the visit by giving me pricing options for maintenance and or replacement of the boiler, as well as his personal opinion. The most pleasant part of his short visit was when he didn’t charge us for the sticking valve and was on his way, telling me to call if it gave us more trouble down the road. We are very grateful to Winters plumping and Vincent the tech for his really honest and friendly approach to customer service! Especially since another local competitor basically warned us it’d be $300 to just show up and look at it! It’s nice to see old school values in a relatively large company these days. Winters definitely gained a customer next time we need significant work or replacement of our system.
Edit: After writing my initial review with a note to the app devs, I scrolled through some previous reviews/reports of the same behavior I was seeing (setting up new phone; app frozen after clicking "sign in" button). I saw the recommendation to uninstall then reinstall and wanted to say that wound up working for me. ========== Gmail app usually has all that I've needed from a mobile email app! I've been very happy with it. My favorite feature is viewing all my emails from all accounts. I think I've got like 7 gmail accounts at this point and so signing in and out of each would be a nightmare otherwise! I will say that I would like to be able to set reminders straight from the email app. It actually does seem like it is possible but me not being quite up to date on the newer Google product offerings makes it a little confusing/strings attached. So every time I've clicked to "add to tasks" I wind up just not bothering following through. It isn't really a "technology" thing (I am a software developer too FWIW), but it feels a little like it wants me to commit to locking in on using a product (Google Tasks) that I'm not sure I want to go all in on due to not being familiar with it yet. So in other words, as a user, I am coming from the activity of looking at emails and wanting to keep track of action items, so when a new product appears during my workflow, I sidestep around it to avoid getting distracted from my primary objective. If I were already familiar with Google Tasks then it would be a non-issue I expect. Maybe will take a few mins today to give it a look :)
It's clean and easy to use
Pratique, simple, efficace... je l'adore !
Everything you would want.
Great app!
Awesome that you can now turn off conversation view in the app. Thanks for fixing this finally!!
This app lets me check my emails so I don’t lose or forget anything or so I can be notified if some pops up or something like a reminder .
Help! I can’t change my app to dark mode because I’m unable to find Theme under Settings in the Gmail app for iOS 13. Any ideas why? Both my phone and app have the latest updates.
Hi I’m not able to activate dark mode on my iPad I don’t see the options in settings. iPad 7 gen. software version 13.3.1 (17D50) App version 6.0.200223 Please fix
My built in mail wasn't receiving emails, whenever I tried to get emails it would say it couldn't connect to the server so I wasn't sure this would work but it does!!
Gmail - Email By Google Negative Reviews and Ratings
Hi I am an old gmail user. I have been using it for years. I am a person who gets a lot of junk spam emails and its very very frustrating. I do not blame gmail for this but I have to say whenever I block junk spam email adresses they can still email me and it just goes to spam now this is a problem. I want to be able to block the spam junk makl adresses without them being able to email me still, I would love if the developers made it so whenever a gmail user blocks a junk spammer email adress that the gmail user will not receive any of the emails that the junk spammer email sent to them once they have been blocked. Its irritating my spam gets filled up everyday I get at least 500 spam emails from useless spam junk people who have nothing better to do then sit behind the screen all day trying to trick innocent people. I understand it is not gmails fault for junk email but I feel they could update gmail so you dont receieve junk email from people you blocked like at all even in the spam. Another thing, I would love to be able to change my email address name I do not want to make a whole new email but I want to be able to change the email adress like the name and etc. People tell me if I dont want junk mail I need to change my email adress name but I cant, it doesnt work. I wont need to change my email adress if the gmail developers made it so blocked email adresses cant email you at all and you wont recieve it even in spam. Sorry for a long critical review but something needs to be done about these spam emails. Overall I love gmail other than these problems…
I use this app heavily for personal and work emails. I noticed that when I was added to an event (business meeting) on Google calendar, my client’s profile pic was displayed, but mine was not. I think this is an overall gmail thing and not just the app, but I believe it didn’t want to show my profile picture to anyone outside of my paid business gmail network. Anyway, I thought that was frustrating because my profile pic is actually my business logo and I want it to look as professional as possible. I really hope the developers can look into this and create a setting to allow permissions to show my profile pic to outside email accounts. Additionally, the other thing I noticed was that the Gmail mobile signature section is just a plain text field. My business signature is a png and the settings in the Gmail app do not give users the opportunity to upload a png or jpg as a signature. I think it looks incredibly tacky and unprofessional when the signature in mobile is in plain text. It feels really antiquated when it could be so much better —and I’m sure you know that A LOT of your users use the app for business emails. Another alternative suggestion would be to carry the gmail signature settings from web and have it carry over into the gmail app so we don’t have to change anything… it just automatically is inserted to the email body whenever we are responding or composing an email. Hope your team can roll this simple stuff out so we can really enjoy the benefits of the app. I’m already a paid Gmail user, so it’s something I’d like to already be included for the app. Thank you!
The fact that I’ve gone out of my way to review an email app should say something. Why on earth can you not select all to delete mass emails through the app? It’s infuriating. I am rarely on my own desktop or laptop at home. I spend most of my online time at the office. And for some ridiculous reason, my company is extremely paranoid about gmail and has it completely blocked. Thus, I cannot log into my personal email through my work computer. I can only use my phone. But can I quickly select multiple/all emails in my junk folders to delete them at once through the app? No, I cannot. I have to select each one individually, which takes roughly a million years. Because I, like I’m sure a lot of people who have been using the same email since they were a teenager, have thousands upon thousands of junk emails sent to me every hour. So, to quickly and efficiently clean and organize my inbox, I must log into my email on my desktop at home in the evenings while my toddler is screaming at me. But do I do that? Of course not. Who thinks of cleaning their over-cluttered email inbox with their very limited evening free time. So of course, my millions of emails stack in my inbox for months until I can’t take it and eventually attempt to clean it all out, which takes hours, and I inevitably give up, and thus the cycle repeats. For the love of God, Google. Please add a feature so we can select all in the app and save my sanity.
Gmail as an app or browser interface has always struck me as clumsy and unintuitive, an app that tries to do something for everyone and fails at them all. It still has limited preview information about email contents in the inbox view, limited AI to sort emails, and features that can only be accessed if one is willing and interested in tinkering under the hood. Funny thing is, Google has a far better email app and it’s called Inbox. Inbox gives us reminders, a greatly expanded set of AI categories, and even better, the ability to create our own categories by bundling our gmail labels into the inbox screen view. Thanks to Inbox, I never miss a bill reminder (Finance category), have all my travel itineraries organised right in my email (Travel category), and even have emails for each of the organisations I do work for in separate categories, all thanks to label bundling. These innovative and useful features, and many others, are absent in Gmail, which now seems to be trying to make a silk purse from a sow’s ear. It’s ugly to look at, crowded and confusing to use, and an app that continues to favour three steps to do something rather than one easy step. In its infinite wisdom, Google has decided to axe Inbox and keep Gmail,a decision that makes little sense to me. Try something else. There are email apps that do what Gmail does and are cleaner, easier to use and more pleasant to look at. Or lobby Google to keep Inbox, right now it’s the best out there.
Lately, the Gmail app has has taken it upon itself to log into all my Google email accounts even though I never asked it to do that. That means my professional and personal emails are mixed into one hard to manage mess. It takes time out of my work day to sort through this mess of all my email accounts mixed together. It’s quite inefficient. I’ve used this app for years and had these email accounts for years and this is a new problem cause by Gmail app updates. I have paid for a professional Google Suite for years and kept my emails organized in the Gmail app; I also do work for an organization which also uses Google Suite email. I have also had a personal Gmail email account forever. I use different apps to log onto each email account so my emails stay organized and my professional email is not swamped with news updates, personal messages and promotional junk. In the last 2 months or so, the Gmail app has started automatically logging into all these accounts. It’s extremely annoying. There is no clear way to log out of unwanted accounts in the iPhone app. The app does provide this feature on my iPad Pro but not the iPhone version. STOP DOING TOO MUCH!! Give us warning of new “features” and give us the option to opt out - especially from features which take control away from the user. Google and Apple need to learn that one size does NOT fit all. I’m deleting the Gmail app and have to find another app that will give me back control over my G-Suite professional emails. I’ll check back to see if you fixed this. It’s very annoying.
June, 2021 I spent some time reading reviews after people updated to this whatever version and there's a lot of unhappiness about it. That it doesn't update automatically like some Google apps do even though I have automatic updates turned off is probably the only good thing about this update.I know I said I’d check out more mail apps but I didn’t. It’s such a PITA to do that, isn't it? Google doesn’t care if we’re frustrated. We're just little people. ____ There are things that don't make sense that have always made perfect sense before. They weren't as attractive as they might have been or were looking dated but they weren't granite tile countertops or shag carpeting kind of dated since they functioned smoothly without getting food bits stuck in them. Now there are things that should be so easy but then I find out I've been altogether wrong. Please don't keep releasing bad versions. I updated to a terrible one and the reviews are indicating the next update is awful. You had a functioning product that you broke. Why? ---- I tried to do something I hadn't done since you all had messed up the app. Since it was so bad my plan was: - Remove stars ✨ until only 1 ⭐️ remained. I'd already done that. - Find a 3rd party app that functions better. Annoying, but I hate this Gmail app almost as much as I do Facebook Messenger. That's a bad'un too.
Don’t get me wrong, gmail is an amazing app. It allows for safe, secure communications to friends, coworkers, and employers. However, as the title states, I’ve found a really stupid design flaw in the way that two-step verification works. I recently just got a new phone, and so with that, I needed to log into things all over again. Really not a big deal, it takes five seconds. Or at least it should. I needed to log into my Pinterest as I hoped to find a Pin that I had been saving up for a while. I press the “Log in with Google” button, put in my gmail information, and then it says “Two-step verification. Open the Gmail app on your iPhone and press ‘yes’ on the message.” So I open the gmail app, and obviously I need to log into my account again. I click my account, put in my information, and then the same screen pops up. “Two-step verification blah blah blah open the Gmail app.” I AM ALREADY ON THE APP. At this point I’m super frustrated, and I try pressing “try another way” THE OPTION TO USE MY PHONE NUMBER IS GREYED OUT BECAUSE I HAVE “a more secure option” DUDE, If I want to use my phone number, you should let me. this is beyond stupid and annoying. So I get my laptop which is signed into my Gmail account thinking, okay, maybe the message was also sent through here. I check my spam, general inbox, and reload the page and press “resend” millions of times, and still, nothing. Gmail, I understand you wanting to keep your users safe, but this is just downright ridiculous. Especially if said user prefers to use their phone number because the gmail option clearly isn’t working, don’t grey it out, just let them. This is so inconvenient and such a waste of time. Please fix this.
Ran out of storage as I sometimes do. I was up to about a 102% of my 15 GB storage. I moved some photographs off of my account to bring me down to 98%. Around three days later I was still unable to receive or send emails though I could access my email that already existed up until the point of google freezing my account. I understood that it might take a day for my email to start working properly. It did not work properly on the second day. It did not work properly on the third day. On the fourth day, I was directed to the iTunes Store to purchase additional storage. I said OK Google wins I’ll purchase 100 GB of storage. I was delighted to find that I was all the way down to 14% usage on my new found additional storage. I went straight to my Gmail and no luck. The same emails I have been looking at for days were at the top. 24 hours later same emails. I did a search and found out that sometimes apple pays 24 hours later then it will take an additional 24 hours for Google to update my status. Well here I am three days after payment and an official upgrade to my storage and still no access to new emails or the ability to send. I called Apple and asked Apple why they would sell a product that doesn’t work. I escalated until I could not escalate anymore. They put in a service request so I will see where this goes,, or maybe not. Not happy with Apple. Not happy with Google. I will begin the process of manually migrating all of my photos. I will be looking for alternatives. Beware of Google customer support. Beware of apples allegiance to other corporate overlords. Cheers, and good luck.
July 2023 update: a lot of fake reviews here. Gmail no longer allows downloading a photo on ios. This app gets worse by the year. How do we delete all of the folders that gmail forces on us? So dumb. Dec 2022 update: forcing 2 factor authentication on people is ridiculous. I am forced to change email providers. People don’t always have their phones on them. If a person were to lose their phone, they cannot get into their email on their own computer? Terrible coding. -In addition, Google is blocking email access on my native ios mail app. How many millions of people will this ruin their workflow? -Nov 2021: I just had a bunch of work email replies that I wrote on the road, get erased. Note to google programmers. Very few of us have hi speed, always on internet that you have in your unnatural work place. Please start programming in reality. Yes, internet is spotty for most of us. -When I copy into the gmail app it appears in smaller text? How many coders signed off on this faux pas? So here I am, going back to the native ios email app to handle my gmail. It starts much faster and does not get confused or erase drafts when it loses internet. -Millions like me are trying out Google Gmail alternatives to end the endless coding mistakes and info selling in Gmail. -Giving microphone access to my flashlight app, seriously?
I just spent 10 minutes deleting +1,000 emails that suddenly appeared after I turned off the “smart features,” which were letting Gmail and AI have access to and use my information and content. This was following an update from Google, and was a feature automatically turned on. I’m disappointed that Google has begun to push AI and other “smart” non-human features without advertising them as such, or even notifying users about such a crazy breach of privacy. Not only was I not given the option to opt out of this initially, but it was bundled with software previously used to block promotional and spam emails - hence the +1000 emails, some of which were sent over a year ago. Not only is AI terrible for the environment, but it also takes away jobs and work from real human beings, especially in an economically difficult time. I’m tired of companies shoving AI products down our throats, when said products are notably worse quality, and more harmful. If I have to spend 10 minutes each week deleting spam emails myself in order to avoid the use of AI, I will consider it time well spent - it’ll just be another reminder that the top 1% running companies like Google do not have those they’ve made their millions off of in mind when they ruin products and pocket million-dollar bonuses.
I’ve never experienced a software so horrendous that it takes me half an hour to send one PDF document. I have used Gmail for at least five years and I have not seen any significant updates or improvements in interface user interface. I expect a lot more from Google one of the biggest tech companies in the entire world to make it a little easier for the customers to attach a PDF or send an email. On my MacBook there aren’t many options for me to make changes in an email or add documents or PDFs, takes me on wild goose chase just to attach one PDF. Outlook is a way better service than provides a lot more resources, and tools for users to be able to interact with their software easier and more efficient. whoever designs, Gmail definitely does not deserve a raise, and there should be an entirely new team of engineers who are under the age of 25 to come up with a new design for Gmail. Gmail is definitely targeted towards people who don’t care about wasting hours of their time trying to do the simplest things. when sending an email, I shouldn’t have to go on a scavenger hunt to find a different tools and attachments on Gmail. It should be right there for me to be able to use. I hope you see this and does better because with the amount of money they have, they should not be putting out products like this, EMBARRASSING After trying to submit my review, Google is now asking me for a nickname. How stupid can you be? It should be attached to my account obviously whoever designed all of Google definitely does not even use Google because they’re smarter than that and use Outlook or another service because they don’t wanna waste our time on a stupid Google product idiot
I decided to start using Gmail on my iPhone for personal emails instead of Hotmail, but have encountered problems using it that I’ve never had with Hotmail. First, when composing an email, you can’t swipe it down to refer to another email in your inbox. You have to copy what you’ve typed, tap X to cancel the new email, look at the other email to get your information and then start your email over again by pasting onto a new email because it often doesn’t save the draft of the email I started. Second, it’s more difficult to copy a photo in the body of your email or add as an attachment. Sometimes it will do neither and ask to add it as a file or on Google Drive. Third, and most importantly, it seems to have nowhere near the storage capacity as Hotmail. I’ve used Hotmail for over ten years and never had a notification that I was running out of storage and that I should buy more. I’ve only used Gmail for about five years and I’m getting the notification that I have 83% of my storage used. I also have Google Photos app, so that may have contributed to that, but I have a number of photos and recordings on Hotmail too. The storage issue is the reason I am going back to Hotmail.
Why doesn’t Google give me an option to delete all of my emails? I have maybe 30,000 by now. Ok, now I’m really upset. My main email address will no longer show me my emails on my main work device, my iPad. I have left questions through the website, have tried calling, have emailed them, and nothing. Seems a multi-million (billion?) dollar company could certainly afford a switchboard operator and some techies on staff? I do too many things I don’t want to lose in my emails, and I’m afraid Google is not longer reliable. And...once again, I don’t expect a reply. Absolutely hate the update since “All Inboxes” arrived. Since then, Google Mail has decided that my two alternative accounts are the only ones I need to see. My default (for about 12 years now) email account is only visible to me on my phone, and no longer on my iPad. I have sent emails, chatted, attempted to find a phone number 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😂😂🤣😅, and all to no avail. I do business on the email account, and now it has to be done on my phone. I have emails I’m missing that will ultimately cost me business. I need a mail server that is reliable. Anyone have any suggestions? Because Google is not reliable.
For mobile IOS users: whatever update was the update for the feature “smart compose” (should be calling it dumb compose🙄) is an actual app breaking update. Great job, Google you once again failed everyone👏. Composing an email automatically brings up the keyboard, the smart compose “tip” sits behind the keyboard with an “OK” button behind the keyboard, on the “tip” pop up rendering both of the functions useless. How do you make that big of an error in the program? Their is no way for you to click go “OK” button on the pop up and there is no way to make the keyboard swipe down, therefore making writing an email through the app impossible. Well what does that mean for the people that have the app downloaded? You might have guessed it! It means the app is just wasting space on your phone and giving some corporation, that I rarely ever see making any effort to give back, a whole lot of money. This app is an atrocity, I would either fix it with an update or just completely shutdown the app and take it off the AppStore to save yourselves from the embarrassment y’all have put upon yourself with this app. Truly pathetic and hilariously stupid.😂 But y’all are still richer than me so what do I know, right?
For those of you thinking using Google ANYTHING! You might want to consider how much of your rights you sign away digitally when you download any of their apps or suites! Google is the number one offender of selling meta-data, which is peoples personal tailored information similar to what your fingerprint would be except in the digital world to third-party buyers. May be wondering why they sell this data it’s because of target advertisement and they can also build a profile on your day-to-day activities. Factoring in where you go what you do how are you do it when you do it where are you do it time of day, etc. etc. etc.. it wouldn’t surprise me if Google actually has a dossier on every man in the United States that has at one point use Google services for something in there. And when I say collected information, I mean everything from bank account. To Social Security numbers to your personal address and even access to your cameras. that information is stored on their servers when you use their services. It is all sent back on an average about x1000 times a day for just one. Said that I say start looking to protect your private data that shouldn’t be sold to any company for profit or gain just so they can target advertise you.
Used gmail for years and always recommend it. Recently I am no longer able to receive emails and can no longer verify my accounts because of this. Thought it was because of the storage limit they came out with but I am way under the limit for it so there is absolutely no excuse why their service just stopped working. My whole office believes that it is a way to try and get everyone to pay a subscription. Will be switching email providers now, all subs that couldn’t be canceled because of the verification issue will now be sent to our claims department and those companies will be back charged through visa because we are not able to log into those accounts anymore because gmail refuses to work properly. As we are not able to contact them without being able to login to those accounts, we will be adding google as the main reason why we are not able to do business with them anymore. This is a major issue and will most likely be brought up in litigation by multiple companies. Please don’t use gmail as a reliable source to send and receive critical emails. It will just stop working one day and you will most likely be locked out of any accounts you link to it or use it to send verification emails.
I’m sure there’s a million or more people that love Gmail and trust it. I unfortunately am not one of them. Because of a hack. Google kept telling me that I needed to manage my account. That is all they said. I would check it and nothing seemed to be wrong. Someone (other than google) finally told me to go further back into settings, so I did and what I found was so shocking that even google would not help me get rid of it. What I found was 300 email addresses for hacking people. From all over the world and from A to Z. They were put into the “FREQUENTLY CONTACTED EMAILS” section of the main google settings and were the bad yandex not the good. It totally hacked everything and fried my computer and has followed me even though I had a professional remove it but it still has its grip on me and it’s now been over 7 years. Everything I had and have now is hacked and it also put me on the dark web six times. Be careful to all you that use gmail. It’s a nightmare still! No one helped, not Apple, not the FBI, and of course not google. I have over 30 screen shots of these email addresses that are not mine. I was told that they are four taking down large corporations, like banks!! OMG!! So beware and be on your toes! STAY SAFE!!
This app is supposed to notify me when I get an email. I’ve set my phone to receive notifications from this app. I was waiting for a time-sensitive email. My phone was next to me, and I never received the notification. I suddenly just stopped receiving notifications for no discernible reason! I guess Google is comfortable and no longer needs to provide products that work. Gmail, Google Meet, Chromebooks, and all other Google products are absolute garbage. I’d like my tax dollars back :) Additionally, now emails in the Promotions and Social categories never load. It says “no connection” when the connection is strong. Now the notifications on my phone just say “you have a new message” and don’t tell me who sent it or a preview of the message. That’s not a notification. Additionally, emails simply disappear. I can search for an email that I just read or put in the trash, but I can’t find it. I will search for emails from a particular person, and every email I ever received will show up, instead of the emails from the person I selected. Google is garbage. And App Support does nothing so I can only leave a review that Google will never read, so their products will continue to be terrible.
I have had my Gmail account for many years & have always been pleased with it up to now. I recently upgraded to a new cell phone & had difficulty getting Gmail to unlock my account to give me access with the 2 step verification turned on. I eventually got in through recovery and turned off the 2 step verification process. I discovered that your gmail app had changed & no longer had the “sign out” option under the Gmail user profile. I couldn’t close & log out the my Gmail account app from my new cell phone. I looked under the Help tips for the log out options. It stated the only way to close & log out of your Gmail account is to remove the app from your account device manager or leave it open. Also, it stated depending on which device you're logged into will depend on if you have the sign out option access or not. I have it on my laptop when I log into Gmail. My old cellphone also had the sign out option for Gmail so I could log out of my account, but it’s not an option on my new cellphone. It leaves my Gmail account unlocked & accessible to potential users or hackers through the back door. This is poor security programming in the system’s application. It should be fixed immediately.
I hate gmail. I truly think it’s a bad app. Why? Because it’s not like yahoo who has the best and most straightforward email of anyone. But it’s a necessity for me to have a Gmail account due to a variety of reasons. I have to have one in order to use chrome browser for one, and it used to be better. Years ago I actually used gmail but then they updated it and made it better which we all know means they made it worse and a beautiful simple app turned into a bad and overly complicated app. Anytime something gets improved it frankly turns to junk IMHO. So now I’m stuck using it for certain reasons even though I’d prefer never to use it again. I hate that instead of being a straightforward email account where all my mail gets sent it is instead a ridiculously confusing map of various boxes labeled starred, important, etc. There are a number of different inboxes per address and I rarely can find what I’m looking for. I’d rather just have one inbox and then a place for trash and spam. I have no idea why Google decided to create such a bad app. I like things simple. Maybe I’m just old and computer illiterate, no matter, this app is too much work. They should’ve let it be.
For a company like google, it blows my mind that the app does not have a mark all as read option. You have this dumb sorting automatic sorting system that constantly hides emails from me that, but you can’t put the mark all option from your browser email system to the app. It is 2021. There is no possible reason for this. I only downloaded this app so I could separate the notifications between my two emails on the iPhone mail app and gmail app. I’m currently computerless, so this is quite an inconvenience dealing with emails. Also, I have searched through my entire email history, and have two unread emails I can not find. Searching for “unread” in gmail only pulls up THOUSANDS of emails you have automatically sorted into other email boxes. With no “mark all” feature on app or phone browser, this has made it impossible for me to get rid of the notifications for two, very old at this point, unread emails. I repeat, you are a billion dollar tech company. And you have less functionality than the basic iPhone mail app. 3/5 because obviously it’s an alright app besides the glaring problems.
Gmail app on my iPhone has never functioned properly in the last 2.5 years. I started out losing my laptop by getting hacked in the person hijacking my Gmail accounts by continually changing the passwords and all the other information by remotely accessing my computer. I’ve gone through three laptops a desktop three tablets 15 Samsung smart phones four , I’m sorry five iPhones. At least seven of the suppose it burner phones that have smart phone capabilities. The common thread is that I’ve always use Google products and they do not provide the security and protection that is necessary for us clients to feel secure with our privacy and safety. The criminals have been able to attach themselves to my devices through my Google accounts and then when I finally got rid of all my Google products it was too late I’m cut out of options features settings everything and all the apps and my iPhone itself and I have 100 emails I need to check my Gmail account and it just magically disappeared made me sign in again when I have the setting set to sign in with phoneAnd nothing will load on the app it’s a blank screen with the buffer in the middle. I’m not just blaming Google’s ??? because Apple post how secure they are and I’ve gone through five iPhones in a year and four months this is a replacement phone I just got on December 21 and it works more poorly than the one I sent back it’s an iPhone A+ it should operate fine for the price it should function out of this world but there is no Such thing as security and privacy and proper functioning of all apps and devices in this world and safety is nonexistent whatever the Internet is involved
I had to change my password in the instance that somebody tried to log into my account and I was warned so I changed the password and tried logging back into the Gmail on my iPhone through the mobile app and the message keeps appearing that says couldn’t login because Google cannot trust this app even though this is an app for Google and it says if you trust it to exit and try and sign it again and no matter how many times I’ve done this me the same message over and over again I even tried to account recovery and it’s the only app giving me issues every other app I was able and verify through phone number, but this one is giving me issues and it’s bad for let’s save the computers because then I have to do pen and I’m not even able to see the messages on my Outlook. It only appears on the Gmail through my secondary account that it is linked I just want this issue resolved so I don’t have to worry or keep going back-and-forth through emails. I just want my Account open on my phone like it is on other devices.
We have been LOYAL customers for years, We had older boxes. Our main television in the living room was having problems with two channels channel 7 and TBS. When we called after dealing with AI finally got someone on the phone. Our boxes were older and they said to go get new ones. We only have two boxes. We got new two new boxes and plugged them in. They did not work so my husband was on the phone. Trying to get to speak to somebody finally after a couple of calls. The technician on the other line got the basement box to work fully. They were having a hard time getting the television to work upstairs. As he spoke to more people. Finally, it started to work now we only have 5 channels. On the upstairs box. The technician then said they saw that there was a WEAK connection !?! It’s definitely from the outside. there were men working on the polls last week because we got new neighbors. Today is Sunday. They are sending a technician out. After hours on the phone, they continued. To PUSH Several times for us to change our cell phone plans. We still owe and definitely we’re NOT changing. Is that the reason why I’m having problems here ??? The box works fine downstairs I get all my channels but upstairs I only get five and it’s been a problem with NEW boxes!!! This is very frustrating!! we are considering changing completely Because of this great aggravation!!! We were also TOLDwe have 5 cable boxes. We only have 2!!!!!one upstairs and one downstairs. I don’t understand this problem!?! It should not be that difficult!! I hope we finally get a ***COMPETENT ***technician today!!! ***Please forward this message of concern regarding the INABILITIES of this company!! this is how you LOSE customers!!!!
I want every single email to show up in one single inbox. Even though I have turned off all filters, suggestions, smart features, etc… (I’ve checked, double and triple checked that I have all those settings disabled and followed every tutorial I can find) google still insists on making decisions about what emails go where. In order to view all of my incoming mail, I have to click “All Mail.” As promised, EVERY email shows up from the beginning of time to present. I also hate that gmail uses “Labels” instead of “Folders.” I’m really organized, so I like making folders where I can store emails and never have to look at them again unless I specifically open that folder. Unfortunately, even the emails that I’ve “Labeled” or “Moved” still appear when I click “All Mail.” And, like I said, I’m forced to click “All Mail” in order to view emails that should be in my inbox. Every gmail platform is the same from the app to the desktop site. It’s inferior to Outlook. I only keep it because I’ve had the same gmail account since the late 90s and it’s convenient for other accounts, apps and websites that work with google.
It does what you’d expect from Gmail, assuming you’re familiar with the browser version. I have some very specific issues with it that I’ve discovered while using it with my iPad Pro, however: (1) When opening an email with an attachment that is an image (that is, it is not an attached file, but an image file like .png that appears in the email body), the image cannot be downloaded or copied. Rather, the user can only drag it around the screen. My workaround for this is to split the screen between Gmail and Notes, drop it into Notes, then save the image or copy it there. (2) Why on God’s green Earth does the mobile, browser Gmail come from the Stone Age? Please, if I am using Edge on my iPad, why oh why does it default to this weird, old mobile version? Please please just give us the normal desktop version for mobile browsers, or at least when using a browser on a mobile device that could replace a laptop, like, say, an iPad. I thought I had more issues, but these are it. The image thing causes frequent issues for me, personally, hence the 3 stars.
Not that it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t work well. If you’re using it for only a single gmail account I’m sure it works fine, but if you need more than that, there at too many things that either don’t work, or work so badly that it’s not worth the frustration. Using multiple accounts is cumbersome to set up and it makes a mess of both inboxes as it tries to assert google’s idea of inbox organization. Checking for new email will refresh the gmail accounts, but I have to tell it specifically to check my other accounts, which means I don’t get notifications when mail arrives in a non-gmail account. Clicking a link in an email doesn’t open it in Safari, despite that being the option I selected in the settings. It opens in an internal browser window, regardless of your preference. It tries too hard to force you to use “features” you don’t want to use. Got a message with a date in the heading or body? It’ll try to add it to your google calendar, and ask you to download their app of course, even after telling it repeatedly to stop doing that. Not every date needs a calendar event. Same issue goes for reply prompts and other reminders. I don’t need to endlessly reply to every message; sometimes a conversation just ends. And I don’t need it screwing around with my inbox in order to harass me about it. The final thing is a big one, and it doesn’t only apply to this app: once I removed all the Google apps from my phone my battery life literally (and I mean literally in the literal sense) literally doubled. I don’t need Google mining my phone for data they can use to further harass me. I know they’re using my messages and mailing habits to learn more and more about me, but they can do it on their own servers, not on my personal device.
I noticed one of my 18 gmail accounts was missing from the gmail ios app today so I went to add it back. When I tried to sign in it said “We detected suspicious activity, which shows that there may be malware on this device. Malware can be used to gain access to your personal account information, like your password.” I’m using the newest version of iOS and there’s no malware on my device. I have 17 other gmail accounts I was signed into that were unaffected by this false claim of “malware”. I’m also enrolled in Google “advanced protection program” so I’m using ONLY u2f security keys for 2-fa. Nobody can login unless they have one of those keys and my password. I checked my recent activity and it said “suspicious app” and the location was where I live. So the gmail ios app is “suspicious”? Or is this a bug because I had 17 other gmail accounts on the ios app? Come on google, get it together! At least notify people in the app that an account was automatically signed out recently! Is there aby way to prevent this happening again? I would rather get hacked for real than have to deal with this nonsense of google incorrectly thinking I have malware.
BEWARE, THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR CHOICES AND ADD SECURITY THAT YOU SPECIFICALLY DECLINE TO LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNTS. PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!! Gmail is stealing our emails and information. They add 2 step verification AFTER it is specifically and consciously disabled. They did it to my main email of 20 years and now they have done it to my business account. They have NO HUMANITY and they hide behind doing things for “our security” and no matter how much proof you have that the account is yours, they won’t let you in. The company that was once the best in the game is now straight up thieves. DO NOT TRUST YOUR INFORMATION WITH GMAIL. And gmail, if you have something to say , tell me why Chris”TOPHER” Green can’t get into topherverde@gm***.com when it is my sign in to FB (which I’m currently logged onto) and when it is my verification email account for all the email accounts I’m signed into AND when I am signed into the account on my yahoo account. No rational human can deny that is my account. Hide behind “policy” you thieving monsters. You are stealing my memories of my dad. And you date to say it is for “my security” AND, I WON’T BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO TGIS REVIEW IF GMAIL SENDS ONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ME LICKED OUT OF RHIS ACCOUBT TO, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MY APPLE ID. STRAIGHT UP THIEVES.
I have for over a decade to contact call email and everything I could because all my gmails, which was my apple accounts were hacked dealing with SHERRIFF police and attny general. I was treated rudely by a lady customer service agent I supposed she worked for you but who knows any more with all the scammers and hackers. I have lost everything my identity my money and credit and do much more. I have 8 cases of paperwork proving all this and all addresses and numbers except what they changed like my Birthday passwords and secret questions. This has gone on over a decade and I will not stop until I’m heard and get some part of normalcy to my life. I have lost several online businesses and physically attacked and molested and lost my brick and mortar businesses. I’m now disabled and getting worse! Please, contact me asap so we can set up solutions to validate right from the beginning of the accounts I opened and the new ones that they are pretending to be me and hacking my friends. I have no Fronde because of this no credit no car no family and now just a hacked phone no computer. This is very unacceptable. I would like to see customer service step in and do dining here. I’m writing everyone involved.
You will run out of memory faster because the other accounts you can add will add to your memory with ALL google products. I was enticed to add my yahoo account to a gmail address last year. What happened is that I’ve had gmail since 2005 and love it. I lost my free “legacy” added memory because I had to upgrade or I’d lose my emails.I spent hours going through my messages and deleting them because I received warnings if I didn’t upgrade soon, messages would disappear and if I did upgrade I’d lose my free space. I upgraded and I have my memory back on Apple products but for about a month or two on my Windows 10 laptop that I use for business, it was still showing that warning. Eventually it synced. So before you put all your emails in your gmail feed, check out if the “new gmail”will eat your memory and force an upgrade $$$$ before memory runs out and it’s pay to play. I’ve been a huge fan but I didn’t understand the takeaway of legacy memory. It was supposed to be lifetime but if I added on, it was gone and that’s what happened to “do no harm”
I have migraine and vision issues. The new, jarring, super white look makes my eyes hurt, especially when I have a migraine. With no color separation or clear boundary demarcation, it strains my eyes, if I have to spend any real time checking my email. I no longer use a desktop or laptop computer, so I depend on using the app. The new changes make it almost impossible for me to use, though, because it literally hurts my eyes and causes my vision to blur. Additionally, the placement of the option to change accounts in the previous version made sense. Where it is placed in the new version is not intuitive or user friendly. It now takes extra steps to pull up a separate screen in order to switch between accounts. This means I have to spend additional time on the stark white, visually unappealing app, which literally causes me pain, if I want to check my mail. This is a HORRIBLE update, that does not give any consideration for those with eye strain or vision problems. I won’t even go into the serious need to add options for color coding, for people who rely on visual cues to stay organized. Or the fact that nearly every other email app had a dark mode, at the very least. Please, please, PLEASE fix this!
Honestly, I’ve used other email apps and I feel like Gmail is missing a good few components from those it’ll be nice to be able to clearly see better when I received an email instead of the date just on the side, the contact pictures updating not sure why certain businesses will get their logo updated but not other ones, and just more customization throughout the email. The mailbox is so plain and boring and if it weren’t for the little box in the corner, I wouldn’t know which mailbox I was looking at. I also don’t like that if I search for a certain email or from a sender, it won’t pop up even though I know it’s in the trash. I think this is a big mistake that Google is making since you can accidentally just delete an email and later not be able to find it because you would have to manually look through your trash instead of just searching for it. I do like how you can change the sounds for each mailbox however I am not receiving every notification from my yahoo account.
Let’s face it, technology, especially in the IT world changes in nearly days. It’s an endless cynical cycle. They’re constantly plagues and antagonize is the human race. It’s no different for MobilePhone applications. They are endlessly changing. Google products especially Gmail, has had the same design. Same features for with so-called an eternity. Which is great in the eyes of the human race because change affect comfort. But with that also is agony because apps such as outlook have added many features to enhance the user experience to make productivity better. One of these features which I personally use is the ability to notify a phone holder of incoming emails from favorite sources. Gmail lacks this functionality which I feel is critical for constant notifications from those which are embraced. You may think this is contradictory between my opening statement, and what I have said but if you look at the promise, I got you to read this far. Now consider an imaginary update to Gmail, which makes it 10 times better than this. Do you think that’ll ever happen?
I’ve used gmail and it’s app for yrs. However with these resent new updates it’s been frustrating. For yrs I’ve always had it linked to my yahoo email and it was super convenient and easy for me to navigate through the different emails. But with this new update it’s like it’s syncing all of my email accounts together. So now my yahoo email is now synced with gmail, and my yahoo email is my priority account... I can’t tell my emails apart from one another because now it’s all under 1 email account which is the gmail account. There’s no option to separate the two (I’ve tried everything) I even deleted my yahoo account off gmail and placing it back on as a separate account and it still linked all the yahoo emails with my gmail account email. This is frustrating I can’t tell my emails apart because it’s like everything is under that one gmail account smh, it has to be another way..maybe something more simple an easy. Out of all the yrs I’ve had this app an linked emails this has NEVER happened before until now. This used to be my fav email app, there was never a problem in the past so why fix what wasn’t broken.
This is a pretty good app by Google. Currently there is a problem that I'm seeing with badge notifications not properly updating. I've tried to remove the app from my phone and reinstall it but that didn't solve the issue. Started with iOS11 so I'm guessing it is related. I would like an option to mark something as read from the notification screen instead of, or in addition to archiving. Maybe I'm alone in this but I don't really use the archive feature. Anyway, 3 stars until the badges issue is resolved. It lets you check your email so it does its job. Nothing flashy or special. Like most of Google's apps. It's functional which is good enough. Dropping rating to 1 star and uninstalling in a week if Google, one of the biggest tech companies in the world, can't fix a notification bug. I mean come on. I'm guessing that at least 1 guys job at Google is to care about the app working. Even if it's just 1 guy he could have already fixed this in a day. Get it together. We give you all our private information willingly and you can't have a guy fix the red badge that a 13 year old kid that is learning to make apps for the first time can edit and change?
I’ve had my Gmail account for about 2-3 years and I don’t mind Google Maps collecting my location data or Google collecting my search history, but they collected my photos for over 2 years and I had no idea until I checked my profile and saw them. They also sent an email wanting a review posing as my Doctor 6 months after I had seen him and after I gave the review an ad was placed in my contacts where his number was, I found the same ad under reviews I had given on my gmail page. This has made me go through my Gmail account and change all my permissions for my account and use it strictly for email only, I still like the features of gmail I just want people to know that they collect a lot of data and you can control that by going through your account and changing your permissions to deny Maps, Google, Contacts and Advertising from collecting that data. But this review will probably never get posted because it doesn’t portray the app in a positive light. 💁🏻
Gmail is my go to app for keeping track of my emails. It’s got a simple interface and you can create a separate inbox for promotions. However, it’s a little hard for me to switch to my promotions (spam) inbox to delete emails. These “promotions” take up space and storage. I didn’t know your email could become too full until last week. I take pride in and orderly email. I use folders and have two inboxes as well as only having one or two emails in my inbox. I don’t have more than 10 emails in each folder, and delete something if it’s not necessary. However, it tells me my storage is full and I may no longer be able to receive emails? I deleted all the emails that were no longer absolutely needed, cleared my spam inbox and did everything I could, but I still couldn’t get rid of enough storage. With college applications coming up, I really don’t want to stop receiving emails. My parents don’t want to pay for Google One, so I’m in a tight place. I use gmail every day. Google, please help me out!
Making an app to help people send, receive, and sort emails should be an incredibly easy task, but some lanky, limp-wristed, and overpaid worker at Google decided to add a “Top Picks” section to the emails in the promotions section, rather than just displaying the most recent emails I’ve received. Google, what use could possibly be derived from misdirecting your users with whatever some algorithm thinks will interest them instead of just using the tried and true system that digital email inboxes have always done? I was sitting and waiting for a verification email for an app I downloaded and I did not see it because your app displayed some algorithmic nonsense masquerading as my most recent emails. Please remove this “top picks” feature from your app and refrain from adding anything else like it; something like an email app shouldn’t be thrown into an algorithm for the sake of milking viewer retention on an app that isn’t even made to entertain its users. People are sick of this fake tech convenience and injecting it into a place like this is absolutely ridiculous. Please fire whoever decided to add this feature as well. Thank you.
Using the gmail app to insert an animate gif inline just turns the animated gif it into a still picture. This didn’t use to happen some versions ago (one of my phones hasn’t updated anything in a while and I’ve done the testing); desktop also seems to work correctly. It’s a very annoying habit, that of not letting the animation play. Also, something is glitchy in the way this app manages inserting images because, when I close the draft, and open gmail on another device or computer, they’re not always inline anymore but have become attachments. Like, why? And finally, about desktop: if I have thousands of emails that I wish to, say, trash or label and remove from the inbox, is there a way to do it in bulk? The way it is now, on desktop, I can only trash 100 emails at a time (per screen). Also, when I bulk-label something I wish the emails were all removed from inbox instead of having to go into each email to click the inbox label out to remove it. Then that one email is finally where it should be but there are dozens of emails to go.
I am so very frustrated as a long time “inbox” app user. I have been dreading the day that it actually went away, and now it has! After a Month of it being gone, and countless days and hours of trying other apps and researching how to get the same type of experience through the gmail app, or the iPhone mail app, or pretty much any other app... I can NOT seem get the right amount of notifications! I am flooded with garbage “promotions” constantly coming through my phone, and spent a week straight “unsubscribing” just to avoid this, but there are just too many to keep up. Or I change the settings and am missing emails that I want to be notified for, but also are not extremely important. I do not want to have to go in to my email and mark every single person or place as important, that’s just inconvenient and very time consuming. There needs to be more flexibility with the notification settings. If I want to receive “Primary” & “Updates” I should be able to check off those 2 categories, not just All Mail, Primary only, or None. Somethings got to give. I want Inbox back! :( So frustrated.
I literally hate this app, after having used Inbox by Google app for a long time. This app doesn’t have the Low Priority bundle which used to organize so better and also u can group delete promotions and social network emails. Very disappointed and confused by this decision from google
Need to add swipe to snooze. Only then will I switch from Google inbox app
Google has taken away the ability to remove accounts from the login page. The only way is to clear Safari data, which is a pain. Not sure of the rationale - please bring back the remove option!
Google is shutting down INBOX app replacing back gmail but GMAIL app doesn’t have smart bundling INBOX app has. Things get better everyday here it’s reverse. Feels frustrating.
The old inbox was much nicer looking, cleaner and easier to sort. This new gmail looks more dated somehow. Disappointed I had to change...
While this is better than the old gmail app it is definitely a step backwards from Inbox. I miss the feature of being able to delete all low priority mail at once.
Absolutely horrendous
For the last six months or more you’ve used the exact same wording for the reason for the update: Something about new Setting to improve our experience. Goes about giving the real reason for each version? We’re getting tired of that old repetitive rhetoric!
After recent update the app keeps throwing no connection error and won’t sync emails. I can use everything else even google app and maps at the same time but only this app will show no connection error and won’t work on wifi or data connection whatsoever Please fix.
Since new update i cannot copy and paste into a messenger from email.
Was fine but recently my box is mandated with Ads. Removed all target info but still persisted. I don’t have time for the garbage being sent. Deleted the app. Using the native Apple app and there are no ads.
I get notifications saying to switch to Gmail because inbox is leaving. However, I enjoy the layout if inbox and hate the layout of Gmail. You suggest that you have added the features from inbox but I beg to differ. Unfortunately, I will have to resort to a third party email app.
Why is an email app with no video or graphics taking up so much space on my phone.
Horrible. Bring features back in the inbox. And be able to move messages to folders agsin. I hate what this last change has done 😡😡 zero stars
My notifications have been changed where i can only see “you have a new message.” i can’t see what the actual email is until i open the app. pls change this so it’s not mandatory i absolutely can’t stand it.
After today’s update, notifications do not show anymore. How something so simple could be missed when the new update was tested
I need to physically open the Gmail app I'm order to get badge notifications to work. All my settings are fine (background app refresh, badges, etc are all on). This only started after iOS 15.4 and I have even gone as far as deleting the app for a month (and deleted any iCloud backup) but still, badges will only show after I've opened the app and downloaded the emails (have even tried leaving Gmail in the background, not force closed). I've been using Edison Mail instead and have no issues, guess I'll need to stick with Edison.
Since Tuesday i’ve been trying to look at my emails on the promotion folder and updates folder and they don’t load, it’s telling me No Connection. I've tried with my data and different wifi connections and still not working. Just did the latest update and nothing.
Would be nice if dark mode worked.
I mean, come on. The app is useless to me if it's 100 times brighter than all my other apps. Get your stuff together.
Why on the world are you holding off on dark mode? My eyes burn.
Inbox worked wonderfully. Why did Google have to kill it?
Google already has a role in majority areas of our online life.. of which they understandably fill with ads. Seeing an ad in my EMAIL.. infuriating
“INBOX by gmail” is way better. Things like bundling just makes sense and works great. Thoroughly unimpressed that they are shutting it down in March. Please improve your gmail app. Like make it like “Inbox”.
Refusing to update their app for months all so they don’t have to show you how much of your privacy they are pillaging. Like a toddler having his popsicle taken away.
Complete failure that it has taken 6 months to roll out dark mode.
Google Inbox is better
Am being told in inbox that i must download gmail but can’t download it.... i liked inbox
Why is the app size growing with each version? I stopped updating few months ago when it was 630MB, now it is up to 750MB.
Gmail scans your emails to AI without your consent. Make sure to turn it off (in all 3 places) because by default it is on without letting you know.
The only reason this is getting two stars is because of the new update! I love Gmail have been using it for years but now with this new update when I get an email the notification says "you have a new message" it doesn't say who/what it's from. I checked my notifications and everything is still the same, please change.
Ads in your inbox, no data protection, this isn't a good option for email anymore.
No other app can work for emails and recently you’re forced to look at ads before seeing your real emails
I likes how the inbox looked This app has poor layout and the only reason. I use this is to send more that one attachment We need to have the ability to CHOOSE if we want conversation view Seriously?
My husband updated his gmail and no notifications do not have the preview and only say « you have new message », it is really bad and now l’m afraid to update my app.
Lags when scrolling
Using this app on an iPad w latest iOS. Moving the cursor is almost impossible when one os composing an e-mail and has made a mistake and needs to change one letter. Also using Bold or Italic or Underline, they do not turn blue when you tap them to show they are on, which leads to confusion. The more features they add, useless to the average person, the more cumbersome this app is to use.
In order to promote Meet, instead of making a separate app Google added a giant button on the bottom of Gmail's screen. There's not a lot of real estate on your phone so I accidentally hit it all the time. Another terrible forced update from a tech company that serves its strategic goals instead of users, but that's how free products work - you're the product, not the customer.
We are in 2020, We need dark mode in Gmail.
I’ve been using gmail for ages with no problems, but was told today I had to update the app to use it. Once updated, the app kept saying there was “no connection” when on either wifi or data, even though I have gmail allowed for data usage, and my wifi was working fine. Now it’ll connect, but when composing a message I can’t send it or schedule send, I’m just stuck on the screen and the email does not automatically save to drafts like it used to. I’m confused and disappointed that this app is suddenly useless now.
I don’t have the option for dark mode. I have the newest IOS that’s silly
