Gmail Application Returns to iOS App Store
2 weeks ago, Gmail Launched it’s native application for the iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch devices. However, hours after the launch, Google had to pull the app from the virtual shelves due to several flaws, including a bug that broke iOS notifications. The application also got slammed in the reviews for its lack of functionality.
On a blog post posted on Google’s Blog today, Mathew Izatt States:
“Two weeks ago, we introduced our Gmail app for iOS. Unfortunately it contained a bug which broke notifications and displayed an error message, so we removed it from the App Store. We’ve fixed the bug and notifications are now working, and the app is back in the App Store.”
Version 1.0.2 fixes the critical bugs, but does not add any new functionality to the application. Also, Gmail for iOS still does not support multiple accounts and still does not host email on the user’s device.
“We’re just getting started with the Gmail app for iOS and will be iterating rapidly to bring you more features, including all the ones listed above plus many more.”
Hopefully we will see these new features soon.
