I received this:

Doesn't work for me. Will not accept my email info. Uninstalling - 1 star

But no answer from Google cloud support, unfortunately.

They probably won't work on Sundays.

I was surprised that you were supposed to get an information until 06:00 PM yesterday, I found that quite a late time for a Saturday.

Google Cloud support is available 24 hours/day, at least that's what you pay for. APIs are available 24 hours/days too after all. The rest of the organization is probably working 9-17, 4 days a week ...

I still didn't hear anything from Google Cloud support, despite raising the priority from medium to high.

And again there was a one star (German) review because not everything was completely free, dragging again the average rating down, which has been going monotonously down only last weeks :-(

I will probably release a bug fix release tomorrow, but anything else will need to wait until the OAuth problem is solved.

Edit: my inbox is ready for the next death threats.

Honestly, I just don't understand this free mentality. Anyone who thinks about it logically has to be aware that the software developer also has to make a living.

Let's take Windows backup software, for example. I would never think of using free software here. In case of a problem I have to be sure to get professional help. I can't necessarily expect that with free software (Not all developers are as committed as you, Marcel).

I will get back to you with an update on the issue on or before 06:00 PM UTC , 6th Aug, 2022.

Right, that's paid Google Cloud support.

I understand the importance of getting paid hence why I purchased the Pro version. What I don't get is why everyone's insistent on having a subscription service for everything. Sorry but I don't make enough to subscribe to everything. Hence why I bundle where I can, onetime purchases if possible, or go without.

Sorry but I don't make enough to subscribe to everything. Hence why I bundle where I can, onetime purchases if possible, or go without.

But paying only once can also become a problem for the developer.

I had, in the context of a one-time payment, bought a software about 20 years ago, by means of which I can watch TV or record movies via a TV card on the PC. The software has been continuously developed over all these years.

Now I read on the website of the developer that due to all the streaming services the turnover has decreased in such a way that the income does not cover the costs anymore. I had then made a donation again, because I want to continue to use the software in the future.

But basically I'm with you, buying software by subscription is not my idea either. Possibly only if further payments would accrue every 2 to 3 years, but not in a monthly subscription.

I can only see the US Google store but I don't see this. In the year I have used the app the ratings there have been 4.7 usually. Maybe 4.6 or 4.8 once in a while. You cannot get any better than that. Basically a statistically perfect review rating. Just for fun, I quickly scrolled through hundreds of listed apps and saw almost no others with 4.7 or better. Certainly, way less than 1% of apps have that rating. So, you are with the creme de la creme of Apps on Goggle.

Reading your update today, @M66B, I would emotionally assume that you won't get an answer from G***le tomorrow either :-( .

This test version has an extended unread shadow I would like feedback about:

I didn't really notice much of a difference or I just didn't really notice the shadow.

Did you enable the unread shadow in the display settings?

The change is that not only the border will be colored, but also the inner part slightly.

No but I will

This might help some people quickly distinguish between read and unread mails. But not really to my personal liking. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it just means that I personally prefer the plain and modest approach without the shadow.

I'm new to that app. I didn't find a symbol or something like that to send a received email forward. Can somebody tell me how I can do it easily, please?

Please open/expand the message and tap on the big answer button at the bottom right. Forward is one of the options.

Damn, seems as if I need glasses...
Thank you!

I wasn't using card style either but I'm liking the new highlighting so I'm keeping it.

If you forward messages frequently, it might be worthwhile to set long pressing the answer button to forwarding, which you can do in the send settings.
