## Description

WristMail for Gmail lets you quickly access Gmail on Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad. It syncs Gmail via iPhone to your wrist, enabling you to read, compose, and manage messages with glanceable metadata like sender, subject, and time.

Features include dictation and Scribble input on watch, multiple folders, watch complications, dark mode, full HTML and plain email support on iOS, and Google Sign-In for secure sign-in. The app is privacy-focused and does not store emails on servers; note that it is a third-party app not affiliated with Gmail or Google, using official APIs for compliance.

## Rankings

- #67,493 — Overall

## Review summary

The top issues are Google blocking sign-in, persistent loading problems (especially for emails), and poor Apple Watch compatibility. Several users paid for the app but cannot use it effectively and search for refunds. On the phone, a Gmail login and access to mail/contacts is possible, but overall the app is viewed as unreliable and not worth the price due to sign-in blocks and loading failures.

### Pros

- Phone version reportedly allows Gmail login and shows mail and contacts on iPhone.

### Cons

- Gmail/Google blocks the app, preventing sign-in (app blocked by Google).
- The app frequently fails to load emails or stays stuck on loading (e.g., 'loading mail', 'mail loading').
- Apple Watch support is poor or non-functional, with the watch stuck on connecting or failing to load emails.
- Users who paid report poor value and seek refunds, indicating dissatisfaction with usability and refund options.
