G-Whizz! Plus for Google Apps - The #1 Apps Browser for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great when it works (which is almost never)It's nice to be able to set your favourite social networking sites to load as native desktop versions alongside each other. It's just a shame that when you try to do anything like make a post on a site, the app generally runs out of memory and crashes, making it considerably less useful than just loading up tabs in Safari. Given I close every other running app beforehand to try to avoid this, it's really not good enough. It should utilize the iPad2's 512MB of ram far more efficiently to avoid this..Version: 2.4
✓ Needs work!The app is useful and going in the right direction. But google docs needs work especially the interface when it comes to using spreadsheets. Right now it's a bit buggy, but once that's all cleared up with future updates it will probably be 4/5 stars!.Version: 1.4
✓ :(You can not attach anything (!) to your email messages!! Awful - please give me back my money!!.Version: 2.5
✓ Confusing APPToo much going on, too confusing. Hard to figure out what its purpose is. Didn't see any value in it..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Pretty, pretty good (for first week but now problematic)In my opinion was more stable than Facebook - at first. I was new to Google + but getting into it. Twitter's working fine but not any better than the standard app. Having several of these social networking things in one app was my concern. And now I see why. No problems at first. After a few weeks no more Google Talk. Which was the most important feature. Web page "Error 404," on a blank page comes up - on both my iPhone and iPad. Also I'm still logged in to Google account but several of the other social media not. Talk was no longer on the app menu bar either. I had to look for it in G+. Obviously something's gone wrong. I'll give it another few days for an update and then delete the app. I have my doubts about Google+ in general, so do most my friends. Oh well..Version: 2.5
✓ Pretty goodYou can't send group emails unless you select each recipient separately. With the new upgrade I can't see all my emails together and to have to 3 different pages..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Not impressedFar too slow, lacks simple things like a 'back' button in Facebook after clicking on a photo etc making life harder. For example having to refresh the page and scroll all the way down to where you last were. People may love the "everything in one place" feeling, but, personally I'd much prefer 3 separate apps which perform to a high standard, than this low level attempt..Version: 2.5
✓ Good but not so goodVery good app. Can do everything but unable to attach files to email with this software. I have to use default email client in iPad to attach files..Version: 2.5
✓ G-Whiz reviewThis app worked fine for two years then Apple required an update of month ago and since then I have deleted it,added it back in and it still does not work. I was told if I got a newer phone it would probably work but my phones on two years old so I found a way to not need G-Whiz. This is a very to satisfied customer.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Aaargh!I already reviewed this. Stop telling me to review it!.Version: 0
✓ FrustratedAverage app with loads of bug!! Should've saved my money!!.Version: 2.5
✓ OkayIts not to bad hope it gets better.Version: 2.5
✓ G-Fizzle!If you want to use the docs feature, do not buy. Useless for Google docs usage. Will not allow opening desktop version, which can be done through Safari. I don't need this for gmail as the native Mail app works better than this one. I wil be avoiding apps from this company until G-Whizz works..Version: 1.4
✓ CalendarCalendar has not worked all month, not happy about it.Version: 2.5
✓ Has potential but has one annoying issue!As I am moving more of my personal and business to google applications, I thought I would give this app a shot. I was really in search of a good Google Talk app and this does well. Not overwhelmed with the organization and not convinced that it is any easier having Facebook and twitter all in one app (seemed pretty easy just to click on each app before). I would have given 4 stars but for a notification indicator that seems to say I have a message, but none of the interior apps shows a new notification. I have checked EVERYWHERE and I can't find a new/unread message. That has been annoying!!!.Version: 2.5
✓ Can NOT open attachments in other Apps...major problem for me...These comments are for the paid version. Browser like functionality for Gmail use which is nice...you can 'send from' your different email accounts directly from G-Whizz. This is Google's mobile web page, and the GWHIZZ app is only behaving like a browser I believe, so no real points for G-Whizz on that one. Major problem is if you need to open an attachment in another app...like Dropbox, DocstoGo, Sugarsync or any other (like Sign'nSend to sign a document and send back out with you signature, or any other to markup your attached file and send back out). You canNOT do this with G-Whizz. To be FAIR you can 'Open in Safari' and Safari allows you to 'Open in...' another app....BUT WHY PAY for an App when Safari will do ALL of the Mail features for free ? This extra step and mis-use of resources is even worse. HOPE YOU CAN FIX this 'Open in...' missing feature soon...it's a big one to me and probably other users! PS - Cannot save documents in Google Docs either. Regarding Google Docs, a complimentary desktop (pc, mac, linux) application would make sense to help sync or upload/download folders/files...this one is a wish list because there are a couple of individual programs out there to do this. It's just that if you're promoting app as an "end all" type of solution to work with Google, this is a major issue for Google Docs users...maybe make it an inapp option/purchase for those who need it..Version: 2.5
✓ Doesn't deliver!The description sounded fantastic so I jumped in. Sadly this app is no different than the FREE Gmail app... you're still confined to the limited and crappy half-screen view of your email that Google sticks you with (vs the full screen view from the built in Mail app). Granted, you can at least view an emulated rendering of the full Gsnail web site, if you can tolerate the lag. And the idea of accessing other Google services is limited. Most are limited functionality and you still cannot use Google Talk nor Video conferencing. Another complaint is the inability to send email attachments to other INSTALLED applications, like Adobe Acrobat for instance in case, God forbid you want to print or save something (which, again, isn't a problem in the default Mail app). Finally, the app crashes constantly. Save your money and install Gmail. It's pathetic as a mail client, but at least it's free and does give you somewhat more control in managing your email..Version: 2.5
✓ What the difference between the PLUS version $2.99 & the $0.99 version?I wanted to know what the difference between the PLUS version $2.99 & the $0.99 version? I noticed that the description for each version is EXACTLY alike. Thank you in advance for your time..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Not very responsiveWould crash and stall for minutes.Version: 2.5
✓ Gee whizzThe idea is good, but it's still buggy. For instance: when I want to type in a search term, the keyboard keeps disappearing after each key stroke - searching becomes a time consuming hassle that way! Other things don't always work immediately either, or the app crashes... The idea is good, though, so keep at it!.Version: 2.5
✓ XNot thrilled. Docs doesnt work at all. Want all your Google apps in one place? Put them in a folder..Version: 2.5
✓ Crap1/2 Assed....Should Of Been Free....Crap.Version: 2.5
✓ Limited calendar functionalityI only use the calendar, but wish it had the full choice of options when creating a new entry, like repeating, setting alerts, and creating all-day events. Very reliable though..Version: 1.4
✓ Overall pretty good but buggy issuesGood combination of google tools and a nice browser interface however have had issues with changing accounts and I still can't enter any info on my calender. If those issues were fixed it would be a 5 all the way!.Version: 1.4
✓ Cute, but what function?Not sure what this really does for me beyond a few clever animations..Version: 0
✓ Good, but could be betterI have used this ap for years both on Iphone and IPad. Found it useful and convenient, by and large, but there seems to be a persistent flaw when in Facebook. The ap goes to black and reverts to the screen of icons. Happens almost every time and is really annoying. When I go to FB outside the ap, no blackouts..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Good but can improveI like this app to check my Gmail account. It is more friendly than the app the ipad comes with, specially when you try to delete messages. It also shows the labels and filters I have created in Gmail, which helps me a lot to prioritize what I am going to read first. I also like the fact that it recognizes all my address book so it makes it easier to send emails. However, the browser doesn't work well: if I try to open a link from an email, or open an attachment (pictures, pdfs) it seems it tries to open the browser but does nothing, I get a blank screen. I have to use other apps for that. Kinda of dissapointing and very inconvenient. They should sell the app for less $ to make the price worth the quality of the product..Version: 2.5
✓ UnwieldlyThe google docs function crashes and logs me out repeatedly, which is a shame because that is why I got this. As well, the hopping up and down keyboard screen bounces are frustrating..Version: 2.5
✓ Multiple accounts not so well doneAll good, except the multiple accounts don't seem to work except for mail. What a shame..Version: 2.5
✓ Pointless app, just a slow browserI purchased the app because it said buying the extras would get you extra apps and extra pocket change rewards. In the paid version you can no longer earn pocket change, I don't understand why. Surely you should earn more for paying! Also the extra apps have poor comparability. This app is just a web browser which is slow and clunky and doesn't respond accurately. Half the "apps" cannot utilise the back button making them useless to navigate. The push notifications don't work. The entire thing is a mess. I thought I would save space by combining my apps into one. But instead I'm just frustrated by the poor execution of this one..Version: 3.0.1
✓ My calendar isn't syncing - otherwise love itI'm normally really happy with this app, but since the last update, my Calendar is no longer syncing. I am only able to see those things I've added through the app, it doesn't pick up the things I've added directly to my Google Calendar. A big problem for me. Hope you can fix this soon.....Version: 2.5
✓ Duplicate drafts driving me nutsI have used this app for years and loved it, recommended it to friends and colleagues, and appreciated the all-in-one usability. However since Google did away with Google+ (and I assume this is somehow related to that event), whenever I create an email or reply on this app on my iPhone I end up with several draft versions even after I've sent the final email. I have to go back, click edit for each one, and delete one by one. I deleted the app and reinstalled without success. Extremely frustrating for this longtime user and promoter of G-Whiz Plus!!! :(.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Avarege AppI was hesitating to buy this app and I now regret buying it! It uses the same gmail mobile interface with no much extras than what u get in Safari. No push notification and forwarding an email uses a basic html and loses all the rich style of the original email. Google voice talk was not working for some reason. I wish the next update will bring so much value to this app..Version: 1.4
✓ Good app, not all functionalThe best app i could find so far for reading gmail, includes labels and filtering, rarely any bugs. However all other functionalities like google talk, Facebook etc, not really usable. Firstly they are on a separate section, which means, you need to shift between email to chat and only get chat notifications when on the chat section. (For example) so not really efficient on that level..Version: 2.5
✓ It stopped working two weeks ago.It stopped working two weeks ago. I can’t edit or add dates to my calendar.I’ve been using it for years! It’s been a lifeline for my work and appointments. I’m so bummed. 😢.Version: 4.0.2
✓ It's ok.Ok.Version: 3.0.1
✓ How is this different than using the google website in safari?Somehow I expected this to be based on the google API to be able to interface with your google data, docs, contacts, etc.... I mean typically when you charge 3 to 10 dollars for an app you're implying that you did some serious development right? Instead it is a bunch of laggy bookmarks to each individual google app on their website that displays in a browser window without back buttons. And it manages to crash every other time I try to load a new page or type something in. Was looking for an app for to use google docs with, for which this is genuinely worthless. Tasks was too buggy. And the second time checking gmail i got a popup advert from the developer? No thanks. Judging by the other glowing reviews I guess I just don't get it? Maybe I am using the internets wrong?.Version: 2.5
✓ Think twiceI bought this app for only one use, to use it as a gateway to open and edit my google docs, spreadsheets primarily. This portion of the app has no features of it's own, it is nothing more than a new skin for safari. Well it works worse than safari alone as when I hit the link for app view in the spreadsheet I get an error this feature was not supported yet and there was no way to clear the message so I was forced to reboot the iPad. As I looked at this app in more detail it is not much more than the free google app, especially when you hit the apps button inside google app, nearly the same GUI. So I say think twice, this app does not build upon the native access but a new GUI / skin for efforts you already have, maybe the skin is worth the price for you but this app had zero return on my expense..Version: 2.1
✓ BadGoogle voice doesn't work at all. All this app do just link things to safari. Don't waste your money!.Version: 0
✓ Has potential...Currently, this app is a little worse than using Safari. If you know how to add items to your bookmarks bar in Safari, and how to turn on the setting that makes the bar always visible, Safari can do evereything this can do, and more. Since I can't access my bookmarklets, I can't use Instapaper, readability, evernote, delicious, Twitter, or other services I use via bookmarklets in Safari. The program also does not consistently load the English / US version of for each of the Google sites, despite having set that as the default in the preferences. However, I like the idea of a dedicated Google app browser, and if some additional functions were added, like push notifications and Instapaper support, it might turn into something nice. As it is, I feel I wasted my money....Version: 0
✓ Disappointing server errorsGood idea. Fairly clean interface. However it wont allow me to edit and update a google doc, which makes it pretty much useless for my purposes. It brings up a server error. If you are buying it to view and maintain google docs, you will be disappointed..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Waiting for speed to increaseWon't spring for the paid app until the free one shows me it's worth it. It's a little slow and crashy. One star. UPDATE: Paid for the app, still crashes and Facebook doesn't have all the functionality I enjoy. It's ok... 3 stars for now..Version: 2.5
✓ Works OK but needs refiningIn principle this app is very handy, but few issues stop it being truly good. 1. Notifications stop working after 10 minutes if you multi-task to a different app. Sure you get reminded of this but having to open the app every 10 mins is a non-starter 2. If you set it so you are a Google Apps user then Notifications stop altogether. But if you just login with a Google Apps account they work! 3. If you use Gmail multi account signon facility then badges & notifications go haywire. However this app is good especially for Google Talk - just sort out Notifications & 10 Minute timeout please.Version: 2.5
✓ SlowGmail works fine but gcal is sooo slow. Using it on iphone. Such a disappointment. Buying the pro version worked no better than the free one. To make it worse, gcal will often load and load and load then tell me I have no events events scheduled when my pc gcal shows that I clearly do. Want my money back..Version: 2.5
✓ It's OK.It's an OK app for convenience, like checking email and have a quick look on FB to see what's going on. But when I tried to reply or comment on FB my posts don't appear at all, also if you look at a photo there is no close button and you have to go back to news feed and it doesn't go back to where you were. Definitely scope for improvement, for a paid app I give it 3 stars..Version: 2.5
✓ Two gaps from 5 starThis app is really very good, and it does give access to many things Google. My only two complaints are the way it handles my Google signature, which is to say when I respond to an email, it puts my response at the top of the message and my signature at the bottom, with the email I am responding to in between. The other thing is the calendar. I can see this as good enough on an iPhone, but on the iPad I've got enough real estate to do a better job on the calendar. It only has Day and Month views, and on the Month view there is no detail shown on any of the days. You have to select the day to see the detail. If those two things were fixed it is absolutely a 5 star app..Version: 2.4
✓ It's okay. It's a web browser. May be useful.I've just put the Facebook app back on my phone - I can't link a name in a post on this app. And it's a just a web browser, which I knew - but paid anyway. I wanted to get resource and notification hogs like the Facebook app off of my phone. I'm not on social media much - but I need quick access. Ideally this app will still be useful enough to keep..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Worse app I ever purchasedAbsolute rubbish guys! Install it, open it, check your email (extremely slow compared to checking gmail out of app), try logging into Blogger, discover that everything is resized to enormous proportions that can't be viewed on an Ipad, go to google+ and discover everything is ridiculously small so that is also difficult to use! Then it suddenly throws you into a google search page which you can't leave at all - no way back to email so the only way out is to uninstall it. I know developers have to work against the arrogance of apple who really don't want us to actually DO anything with the iPad but can we please be allowed some apps that at least do the basics?.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Really useful, but..This app has been of great use to me. It's great to have all of Google's apps in one place to use on all my iOS devices, the interface is easy to navigate, and essentially any issues with using this app are really just issues I have with Google's mobile interface and not with the app itself. I did expect more - a dedicated document application to edit Google Docs on, for instance, but this app focuses on the convenience of having them all in one place more than integrating Google apps into a certain type of interface. That said, since Google's own app was upgraded a while back, they did all that in a much cleaner interface, especially on the iPad. So it's this or Google's own, both do the same job now..Version: 2.5
✓ Bring Back Gchat!I'm seriously disappointed and a lot annoyed that they took Gchat out! I used it all the time and now if I want to use it I have to use my laptop which is such a pain because I have an iPad for convenience and not being able to use Gchat on my iPad is a big inconvenience. I used to love this app a lot (would have given it 5 stars) but now, not so much. Bring back Gchat please!.Version: 2.5
✓ Great start to a really useful appI rely heavily on Google services, and this app provides a simple one window view to toggle between them all. Although Safari provides the same Google site functionality, it's nice to have the full frame cleanly taken up by the app without any browser chrome. I use this on the iPad, and some services would benefit by having the option to use the desktop versions as opposed to the default mobile ones. Happy to say I wrote the developer about this and got a friendly and fast response that this functionality is on its way. Even it its current form, G-Whizz occupies the coveted 1st spot on the left in my iPad's dock, and it has replaced my Gmail shortcut for my main email access..Version: 0
✓ Not worth buyingBought this to get a smoother gmail experience than safari or email can offer. But no push email, and had problems setting up two gmail accounts. Developer told me how to do this but it failed and app broke and stopped working. Then told it doesn't support two addresses and to delete app and reinstall. Nice idea, but basically just a browser onto the google servers, not worth buying..Version: 1.4
✓ All goodAll good.Version: 2.5
✓ MehIt's basically a stand alone web browser that integrates all the Google mobile web pages. No new content that you can't already get through Safari. Mildly handy to have all Google's sites integrated, but I was hoping for something unique. The biggest dissapointment for me is the lack of Tasks on the iPad. Tasks is currently not available on the iPad for some reason. This seems to be a Google issue since it isn't working in Safari or this app. But since Tasks is listed as one of the 18 Google services accessible thourgh this G-Wizz app I thought maybe this developer had designed a work around. No such luck - Tasks does not work in this app either (on the iPad). Major bummer. The developer might want to make a note of this on the App Store description so other iPad user's aren't misled..Version: 0
✓ Almost perfect... Will change rating if fixed...This is a pretty solid app. Generally awesome. Three things keeping it from being five stars instead of three: It keeps losing connection to gchat... I would like it to keep me "always online" so I get push notifications when anyone tries to contact me... and it tries so hard. But it doesn't always keep me on and I will often open the app up from the background to find it is trying to reconnect to a network it shouldn't have lost a connection to. Second: it doesn't recognize phone numbers or email addresses. Can't click on them. Third: it should push mail. It shocks me that this isn't even an option. I'm tired of using active exchange for push notifications only to use the epic new unlock thing from ios5 to go to directly to the email in the native mail app, read it there because it was so fast to access that way, then switch apps and navigate to that message in order to reply properly using all of gmail mobile's convenient and streamlined features... These are things I kinda expected it would do. I would return it, but I am too lazy. I just wish they would fix it, because I really do like how the app works..Version: 2.3
✓ Looked Good BUT.....I thought this app would be vast improvement to the storage & apps on my iPhone which I use on the go for work & team meetings/project management. It was looking good connecting Google Drive, One Drive with not a glitch however I then tried to join blogger an app that they recommend and looked great. The whole app has frozen and does not matter what you do nothing...... when I click on the 24 hr help this is no longer available?????.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Glitchy ReaderSeemed fine when I "test drove" the free version, but I upgraded to the paid app and suddenly the settings were different. I bought the app primarily for Reader (although I use a lot of google apps so I figured I would eventually try the others). I finally figured out that the free app had defaulted to "Desktop Look" for Reader and I changed the paid app settings to match. Now it looked the way I wanted, but the functionality was glitchy. It's nearly impossible to "click" the nav pane (on left) in the magical "right" way that the app seems to want. As a result, I find it nearly impossible to change to a different feed. Sometimes the reading pane (right side) is really finicky as well and you can only scroll if your finger is just on top of the scroll bar, which is annoying. I've closed the app, uninstalled and reinstalled several times, retried the free version, updated my OS, everything I can think of to resolve the issue to no avail. The reading pane functionality may have been improved by one of those things, but being largely unable to switch feeds makes that irrelevant. I guess I must not have tested the free version long enough, because this app (for Reader) has become pointless..Version: 2.5
✓ CAUTION: AbandonWare - Functionality CrippledCaution: Developer Abandoned in Spring 2016. The “Gmail” part still works, but just about everything else is either deprecated, never connects, or just doesn’t work anymore. I bought in Dec 2015, and within 6 months ir become crippled. The first month it worked quite well. I keep looking for an update, but NO, the developer has abandoned this software since last year. Pretty much dead since Mid 2016....Version: 4.0.2
✓ BEWARE, App no longer under developmentAlthough the app works and is functional I didn't realize it had not been updated since 2011; this obviously means no support for iPhone 5 screen size. I foolishly purchased this based on all the glowing reviews and the fact that it was an all encompassing Google app. After realizing there was no iPhone 5 screen size support I did some searching and found many comments that the developer has been none responsive to requests for support due to app crashing and slow load times on iOS 6. I have not experienced slow load times but am really frustrated that there's no iPhone 5 support. If my concerns above are addressed this is almost a 5 star app; push notifications even if the app is closed would be the icing on the cake..Version: 2.5
✓ Needs workI have had login issues on iPad 2. One day it's working fine, the next it won't login. I found my login details had been erased, but finding where to re-enter them was not intuitive. Also I do not use Myspace. Would like the option to remove the icon from the bottom bar. Overall can be handy though..Version: 1.4
✓ Very very disappointed!I'm a fairly regular user of google products but this app has let them down. On logging in it told me my email address was wrong - it really isn't. It still let's me in to browse but then repeatedly crashes and fires multitudes of error messages at me! It fundamentally won't do the task it was designed for. I should clarify that my email is on hotmail - I hope this isn't the cause - I don't want several diff email clients set up when I only need one. I can access google services via hotmail fine on Internet. All I want is to access my google docs and feeds! I hope they fix this..Version: 1.4
✓ Crashes but handyAppreciate the app, crashes on me though, calendar is very slow to load and I paid for the upgrade. Hoping to see it continue to improve..Version: 2.5
✓ Save your moneyDoes not load half the time. when logging into account, you can't even see the characters! it's slow and clunky. just use safari and stay away from this app. Such a rip off at 4.99..Version: 0
✓ Not very convenientI persevered with this app. After all, I'd upgraded from free version because the ads made it unusable. However, after a week, I'm binning it. Too much effort to log in and out of gmail to check 2 accounts. More convenient to use all the free apps separately. There are better mail apps..Version: 4.0.2
✓ To buy or not to buy...I love my Google apps... We are a family of 5 and we all have our own calendars... I have found it difficult integrate all of our calendars into the iPad 2 included app. With this app it looks just like it does on my desktop... My Google Voice works, I have access to all of my email, contacts, etc. Plus any of the other Google apps that I like and use so much... This app should be listed as a "MUST HAVE" Well worth far more than what they charge... This app will be on every iPad that each member of my family has... I just learned that I can't scroll down in my emails... This is a problem... I will update as it becomes available... To date the only problem that I've found is that you can't scroll in desktop mode... :-/.Version: 1.4
✓ Doc support needs workThis app functions well for the most part, but needs major help in the Google Docs area. I found the same problems with this app as I did with Safari ... using a bluetooth keyboard there are some serious bugs in typing text. These seriously affect the ability to edit docs. Also, there is no way to share a document unless you choose to use the desktop version, which doesn't integrate well with iOS. I also found that the settings options were very limited. Could not find a way to force this app to fetch new mail. I would hear a notification in my native mail app and then would have to refresh my inbox to see new messages. If you get it while it's on sale, it's worth it. If not, wait for it to go on sale again..Version: 1.4
✓ G-whizzBugy, with annoying pop-ups in a paid app. Where is Google Apps Contacts? Disappointed..Version: 2.5
✓ It does not workThe app does not work and I want a refund.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Video ads everywhere!!Something changed recently and now in the app being bombarded by ads opening in a video window. Click close and it opens again. Making app useless. It's on the verge of being deleted. Back to google news app..Version: 4.0.2
