The update is still terrible

I agree with another reviewer that it seems that Googles several small tweaks since the update are more aimed at deleting the hundreds of 1 star reviews than they are actual attempts at improvement. Shame.

In addition to becoming a visual assault/aesthetic mess. Its harder to scan, theyve eliminated the simple check box which made deleting many emails simpler. Now you have to hold down on an email for the check box to show up. The check box was MUCH more useful than the initials/avatar circles that have replaced them. All that real estate taken up by preschool colored nonsense reduces the number of emails available at a glance, and for what?

And where is the straightforward reply button? Figuring this out is not my job. It is your job to make this intuitive and not screw something up that worked just fine. This update is terrible all around. A mess. No amount of tweaks will save this update. Take your lumps and admit you screwed up. Revert to the previous version.
