GO FOR GMAIL REVIEW FREE
Right now, it's free to download, but you'll have to wait in line to get a spot to actually use it. Mailbox.app aims to quote, unquote, put email in its place. Just last week, a new contender on the market was released.

Either way, the Gmail app is worth the try. But, on the other hand, if I only had Gmail accounts, I would probably go with the Gmail app. Even if Gmail looks more intuitive and easy to use, I find it exhausting to have a different mail app for every email provider.

Mail might not have to offer everything that Gmail does, but what it has, it offers to all your email accounts.Īnd I, for one, could never give up Mail. Gmail offers more options, it's easy to use, but that's just as far as your Gmail accounts are concerned. The main difference is that, while Mail gives you more functionality, Gmail is more visually appealing. However, at the end of the day, both Gmail and Mail have the same utility. A single window, with a single button that takes you anywhere you need to go, and do whatever you are looking to. And the same stands for checking another Gmail account. With Gmail, you get all these folders with a single tap on the top left button. With Mail, you always have to move back and forth if you want to check your Outbox, Drafts, and pretty much everything that isn't in your Inbox. It shows off what's needed instead of everything at once.Īlso, what I liked most about Gmail is that you have all you need in one place. For instance, instead of having all those buttons at the top right corner of the screen, you only get a couple of them, along with an elegant drop down button that reveals way more buttons, therefore way more options, than Mail does. And the user experience is greatly improved. However, the differences that follow kind of put Gmail in a better light than Mail. Plus, the Mail app comes preinstalled with the device, it works great, so why bother checking out something else?

This being one of the main reasons why most of use choose to use the Mail app, rather than Gmail. The first difference between Gmail and Mail is clear: while one only supports your Gmail accounts, the other can hold all type of email addresses. Same window, same buttons, but not necessarily in the same place you can find them with the regular email app. I liked the design a bit better, but basically it's the same. The Gmail app is extremely similar to your regular Mail app. And even stick with it, especially if you only have Google mail accounts. But you know what? You should really give it a try. I, for one, didn't even know Google had a mail app until today. And why should you, when your iPhones and iPads came with a pre-installed Mail app, where you can check all your mails with one tap. Probably there are a lot of you who don't have the Gmail app installed on your device.
