Gmail App User Interface When Composing a Mail
What You’ll Miss in Gmail
Despite the fabulous interface for reading your emails and the user-friendly design of Gmail app, Android users have sometimes turned to alternative apps. The primary reason for this is that this app allows only Gmail and Google Apps-hosted email accounts. So, if you’re using another email service, you may need to supplement this app with another one. Moreover, this app does not support Rich Text. Thus, you will really miss formatting features when typing out emails. Gmail app cannot open several file type attachments in one email. Moreover, you cannot view mail content when the device is not connected to the Internet. Despite the shortcomings, those of us who are used to accessing our Gmail on the browser may feel most comfortable with this app. It is a great app for personal emails. For professionals, the fact that one can send email attachments to Google Drive may be advantage enough to choose this app.Pros
