Just off the top of my head: on iOS, the app is frequently slow to download new messages, occasionally (but not frequently) crashes or freezes up, opening a message from a notification is unreliable, it doesn’t support landscape mode, the search feature sucks (no filtering, sorting, etc), and it has some questionable design choices. Like, why does it include spam in the “All Mail” category? And why is it that swiping a message right sends it to the trash when doing that exact same interaction in the iOS mail app marks it as read? I’ve adapted to the difference after all these years, but it’s clearly a bad design.
Overall it’s not terrible; I’d give it like 4/5 or 3.5/5 stars, however with the price I’m paying for this (IMO overpriced) service I’d expect something a little better. I will say that the experience today is much better than it was a year ago, so even though it takes a long time, it does seem to be improving.
I am also on iOS and in the past 6 weeks that I have had it there haven’t been any crashes, freezing or problems opening a message. Maybe it has been fixed recently or is your phone older?
You actually can change what swiping does left or right to your preferences. It has to be done through the app settings. Swipe all the way down the sidebar, settings then click swipe actions.
The rest are good points. I haven’t had enough time with it to need detailed searches yet or get much spam so that’s good to keep in mind.
The one thing that bothers me the most is that there is no ability to forward emails automatically. I am not sure if they plan to add that or if it is locked down for security.
I did get a custom email address so I can switch easily to another provider if I want later. I recommend that so you never feel locked in to any email service. Been happy so far and purchased for two years so will reevaluate then.

Same here. It’s pretty barebones but fully functional.
