Software Reviews and Criticism

  I find this App very useful! Only wish the settings had more options!

  I personally find having 'Mail for Gmail' very convenient and useful , especially since I can have it open at all times while I'm on the computer working, and during the times I am on the Internet I don't have to stop, open a new tab, and login threw the website. However, I do wish it had all the same "settings" you can access through the website Gmail. It would make it the ultimate program if it did have those options. Especially since when I am having issues with my Gmail account, the 'Mail for Gmail' works fine and the web version can have problems logging in but not here. I can still access my emails in this program without problems. Therefore, if the settings were available here to help troubleshoot problems with passwords or others related, being able to just go to my full set of settings would make this ideal!! Otherwise, it's my app I use daily as I have multiple accounts for very important and separate business or personal uses. "Knock on Wood," I have yet to have ANY issues with it and I've been using it daily for about 8 months!! Therefore, I do highly suggest this app, just know it does have certain limitations, as I mentioned limited settings options, you will still have to go to your actual Gmail account online for those, but that is understandable, as this is not your actual Gmail, it's a companion program to help with reasons I listed above for why it is so convenient.

  Best of the free gmail options IMO

  I dont like the ad nags, but there are really only a few of them and they are very rare. That being said maybe give us a paid version. The app works perfetly, and provides a super clean interface for me now that Inbox as been killed. We know all these gmail apps are basically a webpage wrapped up in an app window package, which is fine- but to me the best of these apps are the ones that add the LEAST to gmail. This one is super simple. Some of them you cant remove from the menu bar but this one you can and i love that... i like a clean menu bar. This one has a compact mode that is also nice and looks as if it was based on an iOS design which works great. One other thing to note is the responsiveness of this one compared to others... its super fast. If you close the window on the others it take a full second lag to open another window. I hate that, on a new Windows when its running it should be instant and this one is. Prolly cuz this one does not have added toolbars and such in the app itself. Just give me a paid, no ad option and id say 5 stars!

  Love It!

  Mail for Gmail lets me access my inbox without needing to access Gmail's website through Safari. When I open the app, itlooks so much like my regular inbox, that sometimes I forget I'm not directly on Gmail. The only issue so far is that I can't access GoogleDocs directly from this app. That means if I want to print the attached files, I need to download the file first, open it in Preview, and then print. Still, I'd recommend Mail for Gmail to any devoted Gmail users that love the Windows IOS.

  Good in so many ways

  I have enjoyed this app for about 24 hours, but ran into my first roadblock when I attempted to print out an important e-mail. After swimming around in settings for a bit, I finally went to Help and learned in the FAQ’s that a printing function has not yet been built into the app. This is problematic for me, as I sometimes make important file copies of e-mails. I was able to work around it by going to my old mail program. Otherwise, it’s great to have this very nice way into my e-mail. Perhaps y’all could place this on the list of functions to be added in the next version (which I hope will be real soon!). Thanks.
