| 2025-03-05 |  | | en | Just started using it. So far, trying to adapt it to my flow and learning how to improve it based on the extension proposal. It would be nice to have a better understanding on the "Snooze" feature. I was a user of Mailbox app (first time I tried to get inbox zero) and Inbox by Gmail (2nd approach). Since then, I am struggling to manage what it needs attention now from the rest and the garbage. I find that Gmail's heritage from these apps is not enough. As far as I know I cannot decide how much time I want "another day" or "later this week". I usually have to spend time selecting a specific date in "custom". We would love to have some more open snoozing options in order to combine them with label grouping, saved searches, etc. Does it make sense to integrate Reminders with Google Tasks? I would rather avoid to have "another" todo list. |
| 2025-03-02 |  | | en | Developer seems brilliant, but there is no Getting Started guide. There's a YouTube video on Bundles and specific features, but that's about it. If you're moving from Gmail to Simplify, you may be completely lost in how to transform your inbox. I recommend the developer created a Comprehensive Getting Started Guide to transform your inbox. Currently, my inbox hasn't changed much at all. |
| 2025-01-24 |  | | en | I just starting using workspace and I really did not get much of a chance to test simplify and now the trial is expired. How can I get an extension on the software to test it further before purchasing ? How do I get in touch with the developer Robert |
| 2025-01-23 |  | | en | Amazing extension for customising the Gmail interface and making it much more user-friendly, including the ability to banish the awful "Help me write" AI feature. Excellent!! |
| 2024-12-23 |  | | en | Truly Fantastic - for anybody who cares about UI - you will love this. For anybody who occasionally searches for a mail client because stock Gmail is ugly - but abandons because there are too many upsides to simply using Gmail - you will love this. |
| 2024-12-15 |  | | en | I don't know how to use Gmail if Simplify extension not enabled. It is that good! |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | en | Countering the "it's not free" reviews. Great extension! |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | en | What a FANTASTIC extension for Gmail! I've been using Superhuman as my email client but it's very expensive. Simplify Gmail has allowed me to fully customise my email exactly the way I want it, at an affordable price WITH a bunch of features not available the way I was working before. I had the trial less than 24 hours before I purchased a license. Highly recommended!! |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | Interestingly when I uninstalled it, the toggles and settings were all still there and working in gmail. But I was actually quite glad this happened as it made me fiddle with the settings more, it was messing with my dark mode settings which I had carefully aligned along with my dark reader extension to make every email background dark along with everything else, I couldnt see a way to change it hence the first uninstall, but i am clearly just blind because when i fiddled with the settings i found dark mode settings and all was fixed but WITH the beautiful functionality added by this extension, absolutely love it, ignore my feedback in the uninstall questionnaire, I am very happy, thank you for making this <3 |
| 2024-10-08 |  | | en | Loving how much better the user interface is with this extension! Much easier to organize, track and work within gmail daily. Question.... one thing I've noticed, when you respond to an email, it's not stacking my response on top of the previous email in the inbox. Is there a setting to show your own responses at the top of the email thread as opposed to going over to sent? |
