Wow

Really great app for gmail. It is more convenient with all provisions like making labels and editing as a genuine gmail. We should have this in mac.

Good

Good, Only thing I want to see is update UI.

No more Google everything!

Best thing that I love about this app is that it stays separate from my browser where everything will be monitored by Google when logged in!

Great app

Been using this app for several years and love it. Saves a lot a time as I can see at a glance when a new email hits my inbox. I can ignore some until later and answer others directly in the app.

Love Go For Gmial

I;ve been using Go for Gmail for over 2 years now and I love it. Its a strong application, it never fails and its very practical!!!!

Loving It!!

Very easy to use and gives me another avenue to check my Gmail and manage my account vs being tied to a web browser.

Perfect

Works great to get a quick glance your email.. No issues I have discovered yet..

Love it, very convenient

It helps me check on my emails while working on other projects and notifies me when a new email pops up. don’t have to go online to check them.

Great app in concept but really does use an insane amount of memory

Didn’t know there was an stand-alone app like this for gmail, which I use every day, and sometimes get sick of trying to keep my gmail tabs in order while opening/closing other tabs in the browser. So for me this is super convenient. *I still like Go for Gmail and ound it very useful as a stand-alone Gmail app, and I’ve been using it everyday, but it definitely takes way too much memory – over 2GB of my 8GB. So unfortunately I had to delete it because that’s been causing me problems.

Don’t waste your time

Downloaded this from the app store, clicked on the Go for Gmail link and it LOCKED UP my iMac. Restarted my iMac to try to be sure it was not my system and had the same type of experience with the Go for Gmail app. Not impressed and makes me wonder who is writing all of these glorious reviews of this app. My other email clients work fine, but this app makes me wonder what might have been installed on my system.

Works great

Provides just what it says it does. I like this because I can use the Gmail app while having multiple windows open in Safari so it keeps things nice and separated. Works smoothly, the only thing I don’t like is that I don’t get notifications when I receive new emails. It’s possible that’s a setting I’ve missed though, I haven’t looked into it very deeply. Would definitely reccommend!

Great App

Great app helps sort junk from the emails I really need. Would definitely recommend it!

Best Gmail App for Mac

I use Apple Mail primarily and this app adds perfectly to my workflow since I can segment my emails to each app. I use Apple Mail for personal and specific work emails and Go for Gmail for all other emails. I use it everyday. It has all the functionality of Gmail. Great addition to my computer. I don’t recall having issues with it ever.

Awesome App

Removed gmail from my native client at work so it didn’t use all the space on my laptop SSD, but wanted a way to still be notified from my gmail emails outside my mobile phone only. This is a great tool and different than some, it has not been bad on RAM usage, though it uses more than most other background apps. Doug

Works okay but …….STILL A MEMORY HOG!

Nice little menu available app, but it uses nearly as much RAM as an open browser with multiple tabs open. If I’m going to have a utility type product that uses that much memory - I might as well just have my GMAIL open in a tab in my browser. Firefox with multiple tabs open: 1.2 GB’s of RAM. Go for Gmail: 990 MB’s. That’s too much RAM usage for what the products intended to do. Update: Activity monitor reports 1.6 GB’s of RAM being used by app. Restart the App and it’ll only use a few hundred MB’s but after a few days it’ll keep creeping up to an enourmous amount for a small app.

It’s Part of My Email Routine Now

Go For Gmail is simply part of my email routine now. It’s reliable and makes using Gmail with my Mac easy and comfortable since I dislike Apple’s own Mail client. By the way, it’s getting more and more embarrassing now as I am using Gmail for my mail, Google Photos for my photos, and am constantly looking for ways to avoid iTunes. I don’t think I will ever reach the tipping point and avoid the Mac platform altogether, but I’m beginning to wonder.

So Far So Good

I actually think this is a good app. Its faster than going to your browser.

Keeps me from having too many browser tabs open

All my Gmail accounts in one place in an app? Thank you! I couldn’t stand having so many tabs open for my multiple gmail accounts. I can use all the service gmail offers from it as well. I like that it’s tucked into the menu bar and not the app/program bar. Notifications are nice as well.

This is what you have been waiting for in Gmail.

You know how when you open up a tab and it’s your email account and your Gchat sections, this is exactly the same thing only in a Application version for Mac. This is exactly what is I have been looking for for years now and FINALLY the APP IS HEREEEEE!!!!!

Pretty good

Honesty, few things could make this app better. That being said, being able to open new windows and being able to set Go for Gmail as my default mail client are the only things missing. Otherwise it runs beautifully as well as retreives mail fast - almost instantaneously. Great app if all you need is gmail!
