I am writing this message using the Gmail app. It basically looks like the Gmail webpage. As I suspected, it allows you to do things like manager labels and tag messages as spam. However I am encountering the issue when using a Bluetooth keyboard, that the edit field for me to type the message doesn't allow me to use the keyboard at all times. So I ended up turning off the keyboard and now I am just using the onboard keyboard on the screen. This is that similar issue that I have experienced on webpages using Safari when I try to fill in forms. Other than that, things seem very speech friendly with voiceover. Your action buttons for each message are at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom like they are in the default mail app. By default it will show you a delete button, archive button, and more button. If you choose the more button, you can do things like reply, Mark as spam, or added as a label. The way I personally use Gmail, it doesn't require me to be on the website much to do things like marking messages as spam, editing labels, or moving things to other folders. So I probably will not be using this app for very much. I am dictating right now, and I think what I meant by the last sentence is that the things that I use Gmail for on the website, I can still do there without having to use this app. For typical male reading, replying, and composing, I can still use the default mail app which comes with the iPhone.
