It's actually better on iOS, like every other Google app, which should embarrass them. But forget the app, GMail in general is fundamentally broken and hasn't improved in any way that I can ever recall.
But yeah, just off the top of my head:
- The search function is completely broken. Like, I type in the exact name of the subject and it's nowhere to be found. And it doesn't search the trash or spam folders either.
- There's no way to block senders! It just sends them to the spam folder instead! Why would anyone think that's a good idea with the modern state of spam/scam emails!? I have to create a new filter for every spam sender...
- "All mail" does not show you all mail. What in the actual fuck?
- It hides the fucking sender's email address! Like WTFBBQ!? How is this not a GIANT security vulnerability!?
- If I click on an email, it won't show up as read unless I sit there and stare at it for 5 seconds.
How is any of this acceptable from the most prolific email platform on the planet!?
My company insists on sending all communications through email, and also insists on using Gmail, which means shit just gets buried and impossible to find all the damn time.
