Not really a game changer yet
What’s the point of this app if it basically mimics the web version? I was hoping it would bring in some standard email client features sorely lacking in the GMail product - especially around de-bundling emails rather than making them long continuous single email strings. If you are using gmail for business it is basicaly impossible to really establish timelines and the order of emails and responses. This is basic in every email client like ever - outlook, aol, yahoo, mac mail, etc. My biggest complaint with gmail is when certain emails come through and the body requires you scroll to the right because the content won’t wrap properly. When I downloaded the Kiwi app that was the first thing I looked for and it was the same as in my browser…so yeah, these are pain points that make using kiwi not much better than gmail for web. Basically, it seems to assume that everyone just LOVES gmail except that it isn’t an email client app but that isn’t really the case. Most of us use Gmail because it’s cheap and has a lot of storage and/or we use it at work and it isn’t business friendly at all and we tolerate the lack of standard email product features that have been around forever for a reason.
Honestly, whatever the next big major update is - I hope it addresses some of the frustrating gmail product functionality and features deficiencies.
