After being pulled from the app store mere hours after its initial release, Google's Gmail app for iOS has returned. It has a few standout features, like threaded conversations, extensive search and easy attachment handling. But it's still less than amazing, and it may not be enough to convince you to drop iOS Mail.
After a false start earlier this month, the free Gmail app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad has reappeared in the Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) App store. The new version of the program, at least on the iPad, is as underwhelming as its first version.
That version appeared in the App Store on Nov. 2, but only hours after its release, Google pulled it back. Bugs in the offering caused an error message to be displayed when the app launched, and its notifications feature wasn't working properly.
Personally, I've been using the buggy version since its release and didn't notice those problems. However, I did notice the app had a tendency to send messages when I poked the save button on them.
While Google's Gmail app may have a few more bells and whistles than Apple's email client bundled with the iPad, it's not that much better than the native software.
