There is only one email app, not seperate apps for exchange / imap and gmail.
The goofy mail experience was a big turn-off for me last time I tried switching to Android.
The quality of apps on iOS is vastly superior to Android.
This might be true on average, but in my case, I only really use a handful of apps with any regularity, and they all seem to be around parity on both platforms.
- jamesaguilar 14y agoThis hasn't always been the case. I've switched between Apple and Android about three times. The most recent time, just a few months ago, I stuck with Android. Because while the long tail of apps on iPhone look and work better, the top-100/top-200 apps an Android are roughly on par with those same apps on iPhone. Since those are all I use, the question turns to OS feature-sets, and Android has iOS beat on that front. If you're in to mobile gaming, though, you probably need to have an iPhone.
- eagsalazar2 14y agoAnd the top 3 apps I use many times per day: email, maps, calendar are way way better on Android at least if you are using gmail. Without exaggeration, if you use gmail the main experience on Android crushes iOS.
- clauretano 14y agoHave you seen the new (last month) Gmail app for iOS? It's really quite nice https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gmail-email-from-google/id422689480?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gmail-email-from-google/id42...
