CredibleStataMater's Experience
This app sucks and always has. Don't believe me, try searching for something in your Inbox or folder that you KNOW is there. You've got about a 50/50 chance. But it's ok, I get it. I mean, after all Gmail is new, right? It's not like it's been around since BEFORE iOS and the iPhone and had all those years to make the perfect app. And it's not like GOOGLE makes the best search engine or anything. ...and don 't get me started on the lack of an "Unread" option in the Android version of the Gmail app.

Tabs to automatically organize your e-mail
Gmail offers the ability to automatically organize your mail into specific categories: Primary Social Promotions Updates Priority Each of the categories can be disabled and you can move your mail around from category to category or set your own rules which sender should be put in which category.

•••
Impossible to manage many labels
If you use labels to file your email, the only way to select a label is to scroll through your hundreds of labels and select. Maddening. And the IOS version doesn’t support the hierarchy of labels you can set up in the browser version.

Best support for Gmail features
Since both the Gmail app and Gmail itself is made by Google, the app supports all features Gmail offers (like labeling/starring) and gets new features implemented early - usually as soon as they are announced.

Sorting mail by Unread is unintuitive
Nearly every other mail app has a clear way to sort mail by Unread. In Gmail app you can do that only by typing “label:unread” in the search field.

•••
Incredibly fast, advanced & predictive search
Gmail brings much of the functionality and power of Google's search engine to the app's search. You can use operators such as label:, is:, OR, has: among others, define date ranges, limit search to specific groups and so on. And, you can do it all amazingly fast. The search will also try to predict what you're trying to search for before you've even finished your query and offer up those results.

It will also notify if the person you're sending the file can open the file or if you should change the sharing settings for that file beforehand. Finally, you can choose which one of your Google accounts you want visible in the app.
