Review Summary
Users appreciate Gmail Checker Lite for its simple, clean, and efficient design that reliably indicates unread emails with minimal resource use. It is praised for performing exactly what is needed without extra features. However, common drawbacks include limited customization such as fixed sounds and icon appearance, lack of multi-account support, long refresh intervals, and only monitoring the main Inbox label rather than all mail folders, which some users find restrictive.
Pros
- Simple and minimalistic design without unnecessary features
- Efficient and lightweight, with minimal system resource usage
- Works reliably to indicate unread emails in the main Inbox
- Fast and responsive in refreshing email status
- Supports opening new Inbox app instead of classic Gmail for some users
Cons
- No customizable sound notifications or sounds don't change
- Cannot modify or change opacity/color of the Gmail icon, causing visibility issues with dark themes
- Lack of multi-account support is confusing for users with multiple Gmail accounts
- Update/check interval is too long (5 minutes) and users want shorter intervals like 30 seconds
- Only checks the main Inbox label, ignoring other labels or all mail folders
