Which app do you use for your gmail and why?

Mail app. More streamlined, unified inbox, folder for unread mail. If I get mail in one account I can move it to a folder of another account.

Gmail app for promotions/social category tabs

Mailbox! Unified inbox, better multitouch/gesture support, cleaner interface. It's free, you should check it out.

Is the Gmail app still the only way to get push?

Well, as mentioned before there's the Mailbox app, there's using a Gmail Work/Apps account, there's using a service like NuevaSync, there's forwarding email to another account that does push (like iCloud or Outlook).

Gmail App is really accurate.

This. So much this.

Native app for me as well. I have been trying a lot of them (gmail, apple, mailbox, cloud magic) and I keep coming back to apple. Just works the best overall.

Gmail. I could never get over the duplicate message bug that sometimes showed up when I tried to delete/archive emails. To me it's usually best to use the app specifically designed for the service.

gmail is more organized than mail app and having a million old emails that I've deleted popping up in mail app is a big no no... lol
