Google Brings Notification Center Support to Gmail App for iOS

Choosing the "from" for linked email accounts is awesome. Too bad you can't change this to default email client.

 

If it's still a glorified web app, I'll pass. As Google has shown with their Google+ app, they can do so much better than a wrapper around a website.

 

Great new update!
Outlook > gmail > apple mail (sorry)

 

Sushi and foosball? really?

 

Finally! I can give work email it's own app. Would rather use mail app for personal only.

 

I agree, Google+ is an amazingly well written iOS App.

----------

Hoping to see multi-account support in the next update!

 

They really need to work on their buggy Google Voice app.

 

Google make a OS X mail client!

 

Does using the Gmail app for insant push notification & manually fetching mail use less battery life then using the Exchange/Gmail for instant push notification?

 

Wow, I've stopped waiting for this and assumed it'll never come.

Thank you.

Now, the only thing missing is the ability to mark emails as not/important. It does everything else already (except ability for other apps to send email via Gmail.app instead of Apple's Mail.app).

----------

Agreed. It doesn't make sense to play foosball after eating a lot of sushi, the order should be reversed.

 

Yawn

Yay! Google added a feature that is almost a year old!

 

When did old become bad... I could think of much good old technology..

 

My point is, they should have had Notification Center support on day one. Trumpeting it now is embarassing for them.

 

The app needs an icon update for retina iPad. Looks terrible

 

Nice. Can't wait. Was hoping for this!!

 

Have they updated their app for lion? Last time I checked it, it was bad ... Hopefully they fix it up with this recent addition to iOS

 

<yawn> Still don't care.

Gmail is terrible and their iOS app isn't any better.

 

What app for Lion? This is iOS, not OS X.

 

gmail app for lion .. I know it is iOS, that is why I said I hope they updated it since they are releasing it for iOS ...

 

They do... Chrome...

 

Still doesn't support multiple accounts, still don't care. Sparrow is just too good and is only a push notification ability away from being the runaway best.

 

If iOS would allow me to use it as my default mail app then I'd be happier. But it won't let me send a message out from other apps without using the built in mail client. Blah.

 

This is certainly an improvement - but I wish they'd update the app to handle multiple accounts, the way their Android app does.

If notifications matter to you, this app makes sense. Otherwise, there doesn't appear to be any advantage to this over just adding a icon "bookmark" on your homescreen/springboard to your Gmail using Safari.

I do think the way they handle Gmail on mobile browsers is pretty darn slick.
