Gmail apps?
Like most users, I'm on my iPhone a lot. I had been using a gmail app on my iPhone that stopped working well after the upgrade to OS 5.1. Does anyone know of one that allows users to reply to comments from email? The official gmail app doesn't seem to want to do that!

	I usually just do it from an open tab in Safari. No idea if there's an app that allows for it, but it's pretty effective just using the browser. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	When you post a reply from the gmail window in safari, does it open a new window? I'd prefer that over having to keep pressing back to get from the IJ page "your comment has been posted" back to gmail, if that makes sense! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, like on the computer, it asks you to confirm and opens the reply in a new tab. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It doesn't work from the Android app, either. I'm pretty sure it's a fault in their programming. Of course, Droid phones stopped getting pushed e-mails from Gmail months ago and they haven't fixed that, either. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It took Gmail soooooo long to get push that it'll be another year or so before they fix whatever bugs are in the programming now I'm sure. I've been using iMailG but it only lets you reply from the app once and they you have to restart it. It's a pain. (Reply to this) (Parent)
