Good, room for improvement though.

I have been using this app for a few years now, and in general it meets the needs. There are still some features in the built-in Apple Mail app that would be nice to see in this app. I get frustrated with the lack of features and when features are added, they are silly useless features like smart reply, which is useful if I am sending a text message, but not at all useful for email.

1. It’s great that you now follow the text size set in the settings app, however, for whatever reason (likely the font used), the smallest setting which looks great all throughout the rest of iOS, looks microscopic in the Google apps, have noticed it in both the Gmail app, and Google news. Please fix this, or let us change the font. I want my fonts small, and iOS does a great job on the scaling, but something with your implementation does not really follow the rest of iOS.

2. It would be nice if you allowed a universal inbox, a central place to see all accounts I have setup and respond, etc from one place without having to switch accounts. The method to switch is cumbersome with multiple accounts and with both business / personal email coming in, lots of email and lots of switching back and forth = waste of time.

3. The option to delete a message and automatically load the next unread on the screen would be great. I do system administration, as a result I get a lot of monitoring messages, sometimes I need to quickly go through them, would save time if I didn’t have to click on each new message and instead it just loaded it when I closed / deleted the one I am on instead of taking me back to the inbox.

4. It would be nice to see the active sync protocol enabled for non G Suite business only customers again. The fact that it was removed back in 2013 was a shady tactic to push people to your own app, with it’s glaring missing features. The IMAP protocol works, but push is so much better than fetch.

Overall the app works better with Gmail than the native app, which is to be expected, but there is a lot of room for improvement here and I still find myself jumping between the native mail app and this one from time to time due to features, or lack thereof.
