 Hey guys, it's David with The Verge. I'm here with the Gmail iOS app. It just came out this afternoon and had a bunch of bugs and got some really terrible feedback and Google has actually pulled it from the App Store, but hopefully it'll be back soon so we're just going to take a look at what it'll look like when you're able to get it again. So the first thing you see for right now is an error, again with the notifications and at least Google knows and is hopefully fixing that. Once you get in, it looks just like the Gmail web app. It's pretty simple. It's put in a different wrapper. It works offline now, but all the functionality is basically the same. There's this swipe out menu which is pretty nice. It's an easy way to get to your labels and some of your other folders and you can search which is pretty nice. It's faster in my experience than the web app search except for right now. So the conversations are just like they are in the Gmail web app. They're threaded and it's easy to respond. You can reply all or forward pretty easily. You can flip through your emails and mass delete or archive or what have you. One of a lot of weird things in this is with photos. If somebody sends you a photo, you can't actually open the photo in the app. You have to open it up and then go to the screen in the browser where it still won't let you do anything and then you actually have to open it up in Safari before it'll let you download the image to your iPhone. So that's annoying. Trying to send a photo is nice. Actually you can email a photo that's on your phone's camera roll. You get access to all the photos you've taken on your iPhone so you can just flip through and pick one and it'll automatically upload it. One thing that's not here that we wish were is integration with your iPhone's address book. You're supposed to be able to just immediately search through all of your iPhone contacts but right now none of that is showing up when you go to send a message. The app is also available on the iPad and it has a lot of the same issues so again hopefully Google's fixing those. But as you can see it's once again just the Gmail web app just in a wrapper. This time it's the iPad web app and it works offline. Otherwise it's pretty much the same. It's the Gmail web app.
 Hey guys, it's David with The Verge.
 I'm here with the Gmail iOS app.
 It just came out this afternoon and had a bunch of bugs and got some really terrible
 feedback and Google has actually pulled it from the App Store, but hopefully it'll be
 back soon so we're just going to take a look at what it'll look like when you're able to
 get it again.
 So the first thing you see for right now is an error, again with the notifications and
 at least Google knows and is hopefully fixing that.
