1. [R92] 5/5 · US I love Gmail.com!: I love Gmail. It is easy to use. It’s reliable and I like the features. If I could only download it on my new iPhone, I’d be a happy camper. I’d recommend Gmail to anyone. They are awesome. It’s just an easy to navigate app. it’s great for us people that aren’t techno savvy so I’ve taken myself through it and I’ve learned everything about it by myself. I especially like the star
2. [R11] 5/5 · US I love this this: The app is so useful for me to use when I want to email my teachers
3. [R14] 5/5 · US Way better than native app.: Gmail is wildly more user-friendly than Apple’s native Mail app, which somehow manages to make checking an email feel like rummaging through a drawer full of mystery cords. Gmail is clean, quick, and actually makes it easy to find what I need without forcing me to remember whether a message arrived yesterday, three months ago, or during the Paleolithic era. Search work
4. [R3] 5/5 · US A review by James Mitchell: Gmail and Google are first class! Keeps you in touch with the world. Always accessible and accurate. POSITIVE YES!!
5. [R38] 5/5 · US Excellent mail: Good mail, everything arrives and sends quickly · translated
6. [R140] 5/5 · US GET APP!!! AMAZING: this app is amazing! it also sends email’s in like maybe 10 seconds!!!! getttt thisss appp!
7. [R245] 3/5 · US Easy to use, but needs more security: The Gmail client is far superior to the iOS mail client. Multiple accounts can be setup in this client…even from other domains. Sorting messages is also easy to do. The only thing I do not like is that there is no way to report phishing emails. I have to login to the desktop version to designate a message as phishing. A user can report a message as spam in t
8. [R83] 5/5 · US Why I love Gmail: Before I had Gmail I used to use my Apple email and it completely stopped working on me so for a while I didn’t have an email and then I learned about Gmail and now I use it all the time 24/7 and Gmail works way better like if you’re trying to get an app and it sends a verification to your email Gmail gets it in seconds this app is amazing
9. [R84] 5/5 · US Amazing: I love Gmails cross device functionality!
10. [R129] 5/5 · US Sustainable: Gmail has helped me ever since I opened it back when I was in high school. I love how it is easily accessible and can be used on multiple platforms.
11. [R2] 2/5 · US Travando: Depois da ultima atualizacao nao consigo mais usar, trava so de abrir
12. [R113] 3/5 · US App not functional: Last update and just before (June 2026) the app longer functions. Updated app, restarted iPhone and still swirls endlessly. About a day after I left this review the Gmail app began to work again. Tapping the app only led to endless swirling and never opening but now it seems to work fine again, issue must have resolved. I couldn’t access my Gmail via my phone for 3-4 days.
13. [R41] 1/5 · US Use any other mail alternate please: If you don’t want to pull out your hair use an app that actually works this app will never load and will never sign you in I’m the app is trash
14. [R426] 3/5 · GB Intermittent Crashes: On iPad it crashes frequently - just a white page with nothing on it. I have to close the app and relaunch it. At other times I can't use the left-hand menu. So i have to close app and relaunch.
15. [R17] 3/5 · US Problem: Gmail has been great for many years however I was asked by Gmail to change my password and since then it’s a mess. I’m not getting my mail.
16. [R23] 4/5 · US Missing? Emails: Not sure if emails just aren’t being sent or what but multiple times I haven’t been how to log into my accounts because I won’t receive the 2 step verification codes. Good app just wish this could be fixed.
17. [R40] 1/5 · US Malfunction: I haven’t been able to receive my mails since last year December which is really heartbreaking. I’ve been expecting recent emails to come in but to no avail. Wish it can be solved quickly. It’s so important to me
18. [R464] 3/5 · GB Email don’t appear in inbox: I found that some emails can be found by searching the sender’s email, but they don’t appear in the inbox. I already updated the app, but the issue still persists. I don’t know why some emails are hidden. I have also read reviews that other people are experiencing the same problem. This causes people to miss important emails. Please fix this!
19. [R10] 1/5 · US EGREGIOUSLY BLOATED app size approaching ONE GIGABYTE 🚨 🚨 🚨: 701+ MEGABYTES (UPDATE: 738.1 MEGABYTES, previously: 731.1… 716.7… the bloating doesn’t stop)… for an email app! The people getting paid to bloat and deploy this garbage are terribly negligent.
20. [R26] 2/5 · US App takes too much space!: Seriously. Over 700 MB ???!!! That’s why I’m going to have to delete this app!!!
21. [R433] 3/5 · GB Works well but too big: Over time the app has bloated from an already large 400mb to over 700mb. Does an email client really need to be this big?
22. [R8] 1/5 · US Won’t recognize new phone: Won’t let me log in, google satan
23. [R12] 2/5 · US My Gmail won’t load I have tried everything: I downloaded Gmail app on my new 17 and no matter how hard i try I can’t login but it was perfect on my previous phones
24. [R25] 1/5 · US Poor Login Process: If you want something quick and easy to log into, using Gmail is not the best. I made an account a few weeks ago, however when I attempt to log in I get the same message every time; “Too many failed attempts. Try again in a few hours.” I have waited up to a week before attempting to sign back in but once it gets to sending a verification code to my phone number, it’ll just keep
25. [R176] 3/5 · US Google verify: I got a new phone, when I try to verify via the 2 step verification on get prompted a form to say weather it was me or not, then I get sent a number that never shows on the other device 🤦🏻‍♂️ this is damn scary since google is so hard to deal with when you loose an account. Not fun, I don’t know what to do.
26. [R1] 1/5 · US Ads in my email: How is this rated so well? It literally puts sponsored ads at the top of my normal mail
27. [R57] 2/5 · US Ads ruined the experience: Used to use gmail all the time. i get too much email to also be navigating through ads. Made this experience awful. Design also could be better. sad that notion mail is leaving, was hoping gmail could be an alternative but can’t do it.
28. [R9] 1/5 · US Let me turn off AI overview: I know how to read. I don’t need a (often incorrect) summary of the email cluttering the top of the message. When I try to turn it off, it stops sorting my emails. I’m so tired of companies trying to force AI into everything. It just makes my experience worse.
29. [R177] 3/5 · US Forced AI: You have forced AI on us on all the other apps dont do it here
30. [R215] 3/5 · US Bring back the old icon!: I miss the old classic envelope icon. Please return it. Then my rating changes afterwards. Also get rid of AI slop in search results! At least keep the cursing bypass working!
31. [R27] 3/5 · US Recent update: When I delete an email it remains in the inbox list until I close the app and reopen. Strange behavior.
32. [R44] 1/5 · US 2026 Broken App: Anytime I swipe to mark as Unread the email doesn’t change its state back to Unread. The same happens when I delete something, it doesn’t disappear as it should when an email is deleted. I’ve tried to uninstall and reinstall but the problem persists.
33. [R55] 3/5 · US Fix swipe to delete: When swiping to delete a message, the message does not go away or gets moved to trash. Its stays as if it was marked as an email that was read. All the updates has not fixed the issue.
34. [R163] 3/5 · US Added severe bugs this year: In a release earlier in 2026, they added bugs in the iOS version. Now when you delete an email, you can still see it in your inbox. You can’t re-delete it and it won’t go away until you restart the app or change mailboxes. Also, 90% of the time you tap the star on an email from the inbox, the star won’t fill-in visually until you restart the app or change screens. for
35. [R35] 1/5 · US What year is it and you can’t even set a filter: This literally hasn’t changed in 10 years and you can’t even set a filter nor can the AI do anything but advise how to do that on your computer. Feels like for a hundreds of billions of dollar company, Google can’t even write an email app with functionality of outlook 25 years ago.
36. [R124] 4/5 · US Sub labels on mobile: Why isn’t there a way to put a label under another label to make sub labels on mobile. For some reason it only works on a computer. Please fix this!
37. [R48] 1/5 · US Wrong formatting: Do not use mail client, I was trying to send an important email and the formatting that appeared on the editor resulted to be different to the one Gmail sent, there was no way to differentiate between both using this app. My email ended being sent as a white colored text chunk legally not valid under Colombian law. It made me look unprofessional, no one should trust sending emai
38. [R61] 3/5 · US The dreaded “View Entire Message” :(: While the basic mail functionality is ok, I don’t know why Google has decided it needs you to stop reading a message in the main window at a certain point and gives you a link to “View Entire Message”. After you click this, a smaller window opens up on top for you to view it - but it’s not even wide enough for you to see the entire width of the message so it’s
39. [R19] 1/5 · US Not secure: Why was it so easy for my account to be hacked?
40. [R34] 1/5 · US Stealing Privacy: Why do I need my face to back up signing in my account??? Wasn't there a security questions I filled out and a secondary device authenticator. Gmail is inefficient when using the search bar to find other emails.
41. [R24] 1/5 · US I dont want the unknown google bundle ...just gmail: apple app store amd google refuse to allow me to i stall just the the gmail app or just google photos. Now its required for us download secret bundles of data gathering apps which are now decret y hidden in a bundle you cannot edit view nor analyse.. thank you apple amd google for amswering the final question if im staying ...Just like the famou
42. [R155] 3/5 · US not getting notification: Not getting notification ,even after notification is on
43. [R152] 4/5 · US Notifications: It’s great, but it doesn’t give you any notifications if someone emails you.
44. [R37] 1/5 · US Doesn’t receive emails codes: Whenever I got to a app and need a code to activate my account those emails never send
45. [R28] 3/5 · US Sure it's good…: But it's 2026. How can you not 2 finger drag to select emails? The lack of that makes it a 3.5, slightly above average, but I round down.
46. [R299] 3/5 · GB App crashing: The app crashes on iOS whenever I try to look for emails from a specific time frame
