Would forwarding continue to work if your account is disabled or terminated? That doesn't seem likely? I wish there was a way to pay for Google (such as Google One) and it meant Google wouldn't ban your Gmail account. Period. Howe

I'm having a similar issue with FF. When I open FF and go to gmail.com, it doesn't load. I filed a bugzilla some time ago and it's still not fixed yet. FF is not usable for me so I switched back to Chrome.

That's awesome. The ergonomics seem to require a 2 handed phone hold. With 1 hand, holding the phone and trying to tap on the back in quick succession is too difficult for me.

Users can download a "reader app" (arbitrary definition), but users can't find out how to sign up for them? This UX is bad for customers.

They would actually provide support? That's amazing! Right now, the solution is to contact them through social media campaigns and hope the right people step in to fix. $50 could be steep for many and trivial for others, but that'

App Store search results aren't very good. Instead of trying to improve the interface or results, they added app search Ads to monetize their poor search functionality. Also, the App Store has prominent ads for their in-house services

Are they getting real income from Apple TV+? It launched Nov 2019 and they offered 1 year free (if you bought a qualifying device). Anecdotally, I have 1 year of free TV+ and Apple TVs, but I don't use it to watch TV+ (watching Netflix

Constantly seeing Apple Arcade (their paid service) at the top of the App Store app is annoying, unfair, and unnecessary. They even have a 'sign up for Apple TV+' at the top of the Settings app IIRC. Apple already controls/ow

Shopping for auto insurance has been completely useless for me. When I compared across multiple insurance companies, I was able to pick the "lowest cost" provider. However, when I went to sign up, the price offered was completely

Howlin' Ray's is not relevant (only one current location open), and it is definitely not your typical fast food layout (drive through or easy parking). It's in the Far East Plaza.

As a counterpoint, Google Maps on my iPhone 3G in 2008 was not reliable at all for directions. Sure it was better than printing out MapQuest on sheets of paper, but Google Maps has gotten significantly more reliable over time.
