Yes, it's unfortunate that the Gmail iPad app is like this.

That example is totally understandable. Luckily, in September when the new iPadOS ships the browser experience for gmail will improve significantly. Google isn’t known for making the best experience on Apple’s devices, it’s actually much better on Android or on desktop. Right now you can only access gmail on an iPad via the app or using the browser which gives you the more limited mobile version. With the update coming in September, Safari becomes more powerful and will show you the desktop version of all sites, including Google’s services, and that should make the experience considerably better.

I am hopeful that my wife will stick with her iPad, observing the noted idiosyncrasies, which are partly due to the way some apps work, as opposed to the iPad itself. |

Good luck! I’ve switched to the iPad as my primary device (I did it a few years ago for 6 months but the platform wasn’t ready yet) and with the new OS coming it’ll be even better/easier. Hope it works out. |

I close the apps on my iPhone and iPad regularly to make the battery charge last longer. Most of them have a setting set on to do location services or continue operating in the background. This uses up battery juice.

That's wrong if this is a reasonably up to date iPad or phone and you have a decent software set up. The operating system has good power management. Just waking that screen and creating read, write and CPU cycles is a battery burn. People argue with me about this but I have dozens of iPads that have to work 2-3 shifts a day every day of the year. It's something we know and see from training, being an Apple Business customer, and just the reality of managing it all.

You do not have to delete the Gmail App! all you have to do is logon and logoff.
It’s the same when I’m checking my banking account or my Fidelity financial account after I’m done I just log off.

The only way to sign out of the Gmail app is to remove your entire account from your phone or tablet. |

One still has power and privacy choices that should be looked at. If you have an app set to use location all the time or refresh in the background you will use more battery. For work and personally I set Google maps location services to "While Using". It hardly ever shows up as much of a battery burner. Our order picking app developer and Apple Store staff both say just lighting the screen and opening or closing apps use more power than a good app with proper settings.

Thanks.
When my wife is done using her iPhone, she simply puts it in her purse, where the screen stays on for an additional minute. I've quit trying to tell her to turn off the screen to save battery life.

One more question, the map apps have a setting for background app refresh. I assume this means if you do not close the app it will continue in use, no?

When you're done watching this season, be sure to log out, so no one else watches it.

I hope I don't sound too harsh. When performance issues come up I go for measurement tools where they exist and vendor support. Quite a few argue with me about that but this is at enough scale where guessing is no good. Good luck.
