What Am I missing???
I have been using this for a few days and I don’t see the charm. Yes, this handles multiple Gmail accounts better than a web browser. That is helpful, but not $9.99 worth of help. The rest of this is merely a standalone version of the web front end to Gmail. Having Gmail open in a seperate window… ah, we have had that ability in all major web browsers for quite some time…
If you live in multiple Gmail accounts (especially more than 2), AND you only use a web browser for Gmail, I guess this is worth it for you.
I was hoping for an app with its own elegance to improve upon the clunky Gmail interface and turn it into a real mail client, not just regurgitate Gmail in a slightly improved candy shell.
From their marketing, "Radically different from Mail, Outlook, and every other email client
We dont dilute the Gmail experience. Tailored specifically to bring the full power and richness of Gmail to life, rather than watering it down to fit in one-size-fits-all email clients.”
Radically different? No - it is the Gmail interface
Dilute the Gmail experience? I guess not, which translates to, “We didn’t add anything of our own that was noteworthy to the UX besides better handling of multiple accounts.”
One-size-fits-all email clients? You mean, real email clients and not a web browser? Besides, what do you think the Gmail interface does?
To sum it up: Fail
