Review:

The New updated Gmail app do work for this time. This app meets all the basic email requirement which you normally do. Navigation and browsing were easy and smooth using the touch control. I can say it just met my expectation what I was expecting from this app. However, it does lack some important features like Multiple account check and other. You may expect that soon in next version of Gmail app as stated by Gmail Team.
