Gmail - Email by Google Reviews

ETA: I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Gmail , as well as updating the iOS to 15.3.1. So far everything is working the way it should, so I’ve changed my rating from 2 ⭐️ to 5⭐️.
The blue line showing which email I last interacted with is a nice touch. I only have one comment now: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Sometimes new features “for better efficiency” actually take more steps than the functionality they’re replacing. I’ll send a note to the product team: I don’t want to use Meet. I wish I could turn that option off in settings so I don’t bump it accidentally at the bottom of the screen. 😑
Original review:
I use a lot of labels, and when I click on a link in an email that’s not in the inbox, which takes me to a browser page, if I don’t return to this app within about 30 seconds, when I do return it takes me back to the inbox instead of back to the label/folder I was in previously. Also, lately about half the time I open Gmail , the hamburger menu is missing and I have to take it out of multitasking and reopen it to fix that. I love the fact that I can add multiple labels and they are the right color, just like on the web interface, which isn’t available in the native Apple app, so I’m a fan, but these two issues are frustrating.

The fact that I’ve gone out of my way to review an email app should say something. Why on earth can you not select all to delete mass emails through Gmail ? It’s infuriating. I am rarely on my own desktop or laptop at home. I spend most of my online time at the office. And for some ridiculous reason, my company is extremely paranoid about this app and has it completely blocked. Thus, I cannot log into my personal email through my work computer. I can only use my phone. But can I quickly select multiple/all emails in my junk folders to delete them at once through Gmail ? No, I cannot. I have to select each one individually, which takes roughly a million years. Because I, like I’m sure a lot of people who have been using the same email since they were a teenager, have thousands upon thousands of junk emails sent to me every hour. So, to quickly and efficiently clean and organize my inbox, I must log into my email on my desktop at home in the evenings while my toddler is screaming at me. But do I do that? Of course not. Who thinks of cleaning their over-cluttered email inbox with their very limited evening free time. So of course, my millions of emails stack in my inbox for months until I can’t take it and eventually attempt to clean it all out, which takes hours, and I inevitably give up, and thus the cycle repeats.

For the love of God, Google. Please add a feature so we can select all in Gmail and save my sanity.

June, 2021 I spent some time reading reviews after people updated to this whatever version and there's a lot of unhappiness about it. That it doesn't update automatically like some Google apps do even though I have automatic updates turned off is probably the only good thing about this update.I know I said I’d check out more mail apps but I didn’t. It’s such a PITA to do that, isn't it?

Google doesn’t care if we’re frustrated. We're just little people.

There are things that don't make sense that have always made perfect sense before. They weren't as attractive as they might have been or were looking dated but they weren't granite tile countertops or shag carpeting kind of dated since they functioned smoothly without getting food bits stuck in them. Now there are things that should be so easy but then I find out I've been altogether wrong. Please don't keep releasing bad versions. I updated to a terrible one and the reviews are indicating the next update is awful. You had a functioning product that you broke. Why? ---- I tried to do something I hadn't done since you all had messed up Gmail . Since it was so bad my plan was: - Remove stars ✨ until only 1 ⭐️ remained. I'd already done that. - Find a 3rd party app that functions better. Annoying, but I hate this this app app almost as much as I do Facebook Messenger. That's a bad'un too.

I enjoy using the this app app. It works as expected and it is actually the only email app I use on my phone. However, I do have a couple of suggestion to further improve Gmail functionality and efficiency. Please add the ability to search for folders when moving messages from the inbox. It is really time consuming and cumbersome to “Move” a message out of the inbox, because you have to manually scroll through all your folders to select the one you want to move to. If there was a search option to quickly find the folder you would like to move the message to it would really improve my productivity on Gmail . Secondly, if Gmail could put my account email signature in the message like the desktop version does that would be real nice and help out a lot with my professionalism on the go with my phone. Thanks for your hard work and please consider incorporating these suggestions into Gmail if possible.

I have used the this app app for years. I recently changed some passwords and ended up choosing to switch to safari to save the suggested passwords in my keychain. Well the this app app is positively having a fit that I don't use google chrome anymore and the petty rivalry is very unpleasant for a user. Every time I click a link in an email it asks me what browser to use - even though Safari is the only one I have!! The this app app asks me every single time if I would like to please go download chrome from Gmail store in order to unsubscribe to an email. There is a setting that says "ask me every time" that I always switch OFF yet this keeps happening. Seems pretty useless to set a default browser AND say I don't want to be asked about it ... and then be asked about it every single time. I can only assume it reverts to "ON" when Gmail updates, which is like, once a week. About the same frequency that I unsubscribe to something, so it asks me every single time I click a link. Very disappointing. It is so unpleasant that I am considering deleting the this app app and using the apple mail app to check my this app account. I hope the developers see that their tactics don't foster loyalty and are a major turn off to users - you won't convince me to come back to chrome by harassing me about it, I'll just leave this app too. Ridiculous.

I’m not loving or even liking a recent change they made. When I click a link in an email and it opens in Chrome or twitter or insta or wherever, and then I click the little arrow at the top left of the screen that says “return to this app” it previously would take me back to the email I had open, unless a long period of time had passed and then it might not do that. However, now it does one of two things, neither of which I like. It either goes back to the email but it is a blank screen and I have to click a left arrow button to get back to the email being open so I can read it, and figure out where I left off in the email. Other times, it goes back to this app as if I just opened it up after a long time and it checks for new mail. Then if I want to continue reading the email with aggregated news articles to to see what was next up, I have to remember which email it was and go hunt it down. Please, please, please...go back to the functionality around this you previously had where it would go back to the email you had/have open before you clicked a link, with the email still open and ready to continue reading (from the same spot) before I clicked away.

Used this app for years and always recommend it. Recently I am no longer able to receive emails and can no longer verify my accounts because of this. Thought it was because of the storage limit they came out with but I am way under the limit for it so there is absolutely no excuse why their service just stopped working. My whole office believes that it is a way to try and get everyone to pay a subscription. Will be switching email providers now, all subs that couldn’t be canceled because of the verification issue will now be sent to our claims department and those companies will be back charged through visa because we are not able to log into those accounts anymore because this app refuses to work properly. As we are not able to contact them without being able to login to those accounts, we will be adding google as the main reason why we are not able to do business with them anymore. This is a major issue and will most likely be brought up in litigation by multiple companies. Please don’t use this app as a reliable source to send and receive critical emails. It will just stop working one day and you will most likely be locked out of any accounts you link to it or use it to send verification emails.

For a company like google, it blows my mind that Gmail does not have a mark all as read option. You have this dumb sorting automatic sorting system that constantly hides emails from me that, but you can’t put the mark all option from your browser email system to Gmail . It is 2021. There is no possible reason for this. I only downloaded Gmail so I could separate the notifications between my two emails on the iPhone mail app and this app app. I’m currently computerless, so this is quite an inconvenience dealing with emails. Also, I have searched through my entire email history, and have two unread emails I can not find. Searching for “unread” in this app only pulls up THOUSANDS of emails you have automatically sorted into other email boxes. With no “mark all” feature on app or phone browser, this has made it impossible for me to get rid of the notifications for two, very old at this point, unread emails. I repeat, you are a billion dollar tech company. And you have less functionality than the basic iPhone mail app. 3/5 because obviously it’s an alright app besides the glaring problems.

I use this app daily but due to the iPads “Files app” has superior performance for cloud services, imagery access and general use. I am forced to use the “Mail app” for nearly every mail. this app does not support “Files app” within iOS - it makes it very difficult to add multiple items from different services although it’s easy to add items from Google Drive, it is impossible to add from other areas within iOS. Considering the fact that I have access to SMB drives, Files app, Dropbox, Onedrive etc. Google drive the lack of access- is damaging The lack of files integration with “Files app” leads me to not be able to use this app. - composing a mail with anything that is not on google is difficult.
The work around is I must go back-and-forth between drafting in this app and finishing my drafts in the IOS Mail app

this app has far superior search capabilities and makes it very easy to find what I’m looking for. - honestly - I’d prefer to use this app but the lack of ability to add imagery or files from other apps makes it almost impossible to use as a daily goto app.

In general I like this mail app a lot. I am happy to have my inbox sorted as it is on the desktop. I wish it was easier to attach documents from “Pages” and “Files” instead of only from the camera, recent attachments and drive. But my biggest complaint is this: When I go to open a link from an email and it asks if I want to use chrome or safari, I choose safari because that is my preference on my iPhone. I switch off the little “ask me every time” button. The very next time I go to open a link from an email, it could be the exact same link one second later, the browser preference window opens again, with the button switched on. It adds an unnecessary step every time I look at things from an email. Also, my saved safari things don’t all translate over to the safari that pops up within Gmail . I know you want me to use chrome because it is your product, but you offer a choice so it would be nice if that choice worked 😊

You will run out of memory faster because the other accounts you can add will add to your memory with ALL google products. I was enticed to add my yahoo account to a this app address last year. What happened is that I’ve had this app since 2005 and love it. I lost my free “legacy” added memory because I had to upgrade or I’d lose my emails.I spent hours going through my messages and deleting them because I received warnings if I didn’t upgrade soon, messages would disappear and if I did upgrade I’d lose my free space. I upgraded and I have my memory back on Apple products but for about a month or two on my Windows 10 laptop that I use for business, it was still showing that warning. Eventually it synced. So before you put all your emails in your this app feed, check out if the “new this app”will eat your memory and force an upgrade $$$$ before memory runs out and it’s pay to play. I’ve been a huge fan but I didn’t understand the takeaway of legacy memory. It was supposed to be lifetime but if I added on, it was gone and that’s what happened to “do no harm”

I have migraine and vision issues. The new, jarring, super white look makes my eyes hurt, especially when I have a migraine. With no color separation or clear boundary demarcation, it strains my eyes, if I have to spend any real time checking my email. I no longer use a desktop or laptop computer, so I depend on using Gmail . The new changes make it almost impossible for me to use, though, because it literally hurts my eyes and causes my vision to blur.

Additionally, the placement of the option to change accounts in the previous version made sense. Where it is placed in the new version is not intuitive or user friendly. It now takes extra steps to pull up a separate screen in order to switch between accounts. This means I have to spend additional time on the stark white, visually unappealing app, which literally causes me pain, if I want to check my mail.

This is a HORRIBLE update, that does not give any consideration for those with eye strain or vision problems. I won’t even go into the serious need to add options for color coding, for people who rely on visual cues to stay organized. Or the fact that nearly every other email app had a dark mode, at the very least. Please, please, PLEASE fix this!

I’ve used this app and it’s app for yrs. However with these resent new updates it’s been frustrating. For yrs I’ve always had it linked to my yahoo email and it was super convenient and easy for me to navigate through the different emails. But with this new update it’s like it’s syncing all of my email accounts together. So now my yahoo email is now synced with this app, and my yahoo email is my priority account... I can’t tell my emails apart from one another because now it’s all under 1 email account which is the this app account. There’s no option to separate the two (I’ve tried everything) I even deleted my yahoo account off this app and placing it back on as a separate account and it still linked all the yahoo emails with my this app account email. This is frustrating I can’t tell my emails apart because it’s like everything is under that one this app account smh, it has to be another way..maybe something more simple an easy. Out of all the yrs I’ve had Gmail an linked emails this has NEVER happened before until now. This used to be my fav email app, there was never a problem in the past so why fix what wasn’t broken.

This is a pretty good app by Google. Currently there is a problem that I'm seeing with badge notifications not properly updating. I've tried to remove Gmail from my phone and reinstall it but that didn't solve the issue. Started with iOS11 so I'm guessing it is related. I would like an option to mark something as read from the notification screen instead of, or in addition to archiving. Maybe I'm alone in this but I don't really use the archive feature. Anyway, 3 stars until the badges issue is resolved. It lets you check your email so it does its job. Nothing flashy or special. Like most of Google's apps. It's functional which is good enough.

Dropping rating to 1 star and uninstalling in a week if Google, one of the biggest tech companies in the world, can't fix a notification bug. I mean come on. I'm guessing that at least 1 guys job at Google is to care about Gmail working. Even if it's just 1 guy he could have already fixed this in a day. Get it together. We give you all our private information willingly and you can't have a guy fix the red badge that a 13 year old kid that is learning to make apps for the first time can edit and change?

My biggest problem with the this app app is the limited options for adding attachments to emails. I use Outlook as my primary mobile app because I can attach files saved in iCloud, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, my phone storage, other OneDrive accounts and more. I also would prefer much more formatting options, especially for custom signatures. We are using our mobile devices for email more and more every day. I’d like to be able to use my html signature, or even just add an image or change font styles. Lastly, I don’t like how the this app app is the key holder for every Google app on my phone. In a perfect world, I could much more conveniently sign in and out if individual apps one at a time. I know I can’t realistically expect that from Google though. Just another reason I and many others prefer other apps.
There is a bug in Gmail on the chat page now. I have to individually open chats from links in emails, because when I click the chat icon at the bottom of the screen, the list is empty. I am on the latest iOS on an iPhone XS.

this app is great, I use it on all my devices and pc. But there is an annoying thing: On iPhone and iPad, if I am reading an email and I need to go away from it, (like to follow a link, say, or go to anywhere else really), when I return to this app I find that it has opened the most recent email. What happened to the email I had been reading? So then I have to go back and find that email (and also mark the opened email as Unread so I can come back to it later; which, by the way, I still have older mail to read so why would I want to read the most recent one?) Finding the email I was reading is not always easy because sometimes it takes me a while to get to stuff and I end up reading mail from some time ago.

Considering how amazing Google is, surely you can find a way to fix this simple issue? I’m thinking of going back to the Apple email app but there are things I do like better about this app.

I am so very frustrated as a long time “inbox” app user. I have been dreading the day that it actually went away, and now it has! After a Month of it being gone, and countless days and hours of trying other apps and researching how to get the same type of experience through the this app app, or the iPhone mail app, or pretty much any other app... I can NOT seem get the right amount of notifications! I am flooded with garbage “promotions” constantly coming through my phone, and spent a week straight “unsubscribing” just to avoid this, but there are just too many to keep up. Or I change the settings and am missing emails that I want to be notified for, but also are not extremely important. I do not want to have to go in to my email and mark every single person or place as important, that’s just inconvenient and very time consuming. There needs to be more flexibility with the notification settings. If I want to receive “Primary” & “Updates” I should be able to check off those 2 categories, not just All Mail, Primary only, or None. Somethings got to give. I want Inbox back! :( So frustrated.

I am very handicapped physically and the lady driver that picked us up on Friday in Clearfield at 5:05 PM was absolutely AWESOME!!!! She deserves cudo's with her customer service. However, we were forced because of LeBus schedule to not come north on weekdays, which I feel is outrajous, you will take us out there but not bring us back???? We had 4 free nights at Montego to use and wanted to do so. But because of your policy we had to stay one night and waste 3. And then we have this ignorant driver (Curtis)that would not let us board the bus, even though we were prepaid & had as much right ad anyone else. He said office mistake put us going out & not coming back on that day. Maybe si but would be awfully strange to go 2 days in a row & never return. The guy reservations were made with was fully aware we were going on Friday returning on Saturday was discussed over & over. So either way you do need to make some employee changes.

I’ve had this app for years but the iOS app seems to be missing a lot of the functionality of the browser experience, almost to the point where it’s hard to use. I see other reviews that it’s “simple” but it feels almost like it’s stripped down to the point that as an iOS user I have to go to the browser app to do anything basic like create even a new filter for email from my kids teacher.

Would be great to see similar usability to the browser app in the mobile app; however I was living in Europe when the great row over Google Maps vs Apple Maps meant that I basically got lost going to the burrito store because Google Maps got yanked out of Gmail Store while meanwhile Apple Maps hadn’t built out their EU coverage fully yet.

Hope the 3-stars doesn’t offend and I don’t know what might have motivated these decisions but ideally I would be able to be mobile first for my this app account and right now the iOS app truly doesn’t achieve that yet. Thanks for trying though!

I have zero issues with Gmail but one. It is easy to use, looks clean, and is handy to have to avoid logging through my work portal to access.
However, it always says I have a notification. I open Gmail , read/delete emails, close Gmail and that little red 1 is still sitting there on Gmail . I open Gmail again, refresh emails (always still nothing), close Gmail , then force close Gmail and it. Is. Still. There. It drives me bonkers, I hate seeing that little notification. I’ve had to disable notifications from Gmail to rectify this which means I have to go in and manually check. Again, not a huge issue, more of a personal one for me (I just like the look of a clean phone and usually open apps with notifications to get rid of them immediately) but it would be really handy to have that little bug fixed in a future update.
Hope this helped!

I didn’t update this app in a while, and when I finally did, I thought things would run smoother, but then I get this weird redesign.
The redesign makes it difficult to know which email account you’re using and makes it more convoluted to switch accounts. They also made the font in Gmail smaller so it’s harder to read. Overall, I think it’s just messy. Maybe I’m just not used to it yet, but I think this redesign makes Gmail harder to use. And with the redesign, Gmail reset my original settings on swiping to archive or delete which was just annoying.
Plus, as I try to write emails, I keep getting the notification “some changes may not have saved” or something like that, and it would pop up every few seconds, making my email infuriating to write.
My inbox takes longer to load now too with the redesign, and sometimes my notifications don’t go through, but that might be because of my phone, not Gmail .
I don’t know, it just feels like this app’s getting worse. I wish they would stop trying to put in all these new features like Google Pay in emails, and just aim to make Gmail comfortable to use... Trying to attach multiple files in an email on mobile is so tedious.

iOS 13 has screwed up notifications with this app. No badges showing me unread messages. I have to go into Gmail to know that. New emails don’t trigger any notifications and my job is email dependent. I’ve turning every setting off & back on, cycling the power, getting the latest iOS 13, checking for the latest this app update, plus I read that another user tried restoring their iPhone to no avail.

Lastly, there was a strange few days, before the last this app update that supposedly fixed the problem, where this app notifications were working just fine. On it’s own. Just decided to work again. Then it went back to the same issues for no reason. This reminds me... seems like the trigger for these issues started when I finally deleted over 100 unread messages, digging back a few months & having to use the search bar to get them all together for a marathon deletion of swipe after swipe. So maybe that shakes the iOS or Gmail up enough to try to figure out how many unread msgs there are ... for better or for worse. Maybe if I let it build up again, it’ll be for the better? Here’s to hoping.

Google!! Please fix this mess! It’s 2019, for crying out loud. Go back to basic, reliable functionality! You too, Apple! :/

I use my iPad for work, as I need to take high resolution videos and have quick access to apps. The this app app has such terribly limited usability in key areas. First, it is crazy that I cannot create bulleted or numbered lists. This seems like a key component to writing succinct emails and I am not sure why this is not included. Second, I cannot copy and paste tables from other Google apps and keep the formatting! We send programs to clients that we create in Google sheets, but we do not need to send the entire sheet at one time, only a part. You simply cannot do this without creating an entirely new sheet, and then sharing it with them, which is simply not functional. I would rather be able to copy and paste the section of the sheet that is necessary to use. Lastly, the emails I send from my iPad do not have the same formatting as the desktop site. Again, I am at a loss as to why this is the case. We have a specific signature that we need to use in order to send protected information, and I have to set this signature up again instead of it carrying over from my desktop accessibility.
The only good thing about Gmail is that I can access my email from it. However, it severely limits my ability to send useful emails and this kills my productivity during work hours with my iPad.

Why does Gmail have a built in web browser? If you click on a link in an email a little window comes up that asks if you want to open it in chrome or safari. I don't have chrome installed because I feel that google harvests enough information about me as it is. So i select open in safari. However when I do this it does not open safari. It opens this miniature web browser that is baked into
this app, there is a button on the bottom of the screen that forwards you to safari. But its too late. The link has been opened in a google made web browser. This is annoying and deceitful. If its a link that can only be used once, then opening it in this mini browser has just ruined the link so that I would have do whenever it is in this built in browser. I would say its okay if I could just delete all cookies and such from this mini bowser but there is no option. And even even if i could delete the information its too late because google already saw what I was doing in that session. I can only assume that google now has any and all information that has been put into the mini browser. I would use a different email app however google has made it so that I cant use any other email app with a this app account... so I guess I’m just screwed.

1. You can’t mass delete emails in Gmail. You have to select every email, one by one. That’s usually multiple clicks (or a swipe and click) per email.
2. Your inbox is automatically separated into different inboxes, including social and “promotions.” Emails are seemingly put into other categories AT RANDOM. Multiple times now, emails from addresses which previously went into my inbox went into these other two categories, and one of the times, it was a work email. That email was also labeled as important, another category that has NO notifications by default, and it could not be seen when I went into the “All mail” tab.
I’ve tried to make sense of why emails from certain addresses (of the same topic every time) would randomly go into different folders, but I have no idea still. All in all, this is unnecessarily complicated, unhelpful, and you have to fix it all yourself because those are the default settings. I can’t believe we get advertisements in the same area and with the same look as other, unread emails as well.
If you can, don’t get Gmail. Use this app on your browser, or maybe don’t use this app unless you have to. Maybe this is less terrible on a different device (my device is an iPad Pro), but I somehow doubt that.

In the corporate world I am forced to use Microsoft Outlook as my primary email client. In the private sector, i use this app for almost everything else. this app has become a standard that other email sites attempt to emulate. The integration of its own suite of office programs has eliminated the need for more costly applications for senior users and youngsters. Google has learned from Apple in placing this app and Google Docs on entry level tablets and Chrome Books.

I could continue this thread but I mentioned “flaws” in the title. Some people complain about the steady stream of bug fixes and see it as evidence of how poorly this app and other Google products were written. This is a false impression. What it does show is the speed with which the technical teams that Support this app and Google are adapting to the ever-changing environment of hackers spammers and other nefarious groups that are attempting to disrupt our lives. Most things that appear as flaws are really undocumented tools.

Inbox was my favorite email experience I’ve had since the glory days of BlackBerry, but as others have pointed out, it was a huge disappointment having it taken away. After a few days of use, my opinion has not changed. Organization is painfully lacking compared to Inbox, both in visual style and feature set. I loved how finance and purchase categories were built in to the experience. Gone. Now a lack of visual divide between emails and the inclusion of ads in my inbox has me hating the email experience altogether. I have no interest in using Gmail for much longer and will be seeking alternatives. I don’t care much about this stuff, but google had a solid program in Inbox, and I would go back without hesitation if I could. Seriously, ads at the top of my mailbox? I actually got a pop up message after deleting one that they would “try not to include ads like that,” but there’s always ads. I would pay not to have ads, but that’s where google makes their money I guess. I’ll go somewhere else. Inbox was wonderful from the moment I first installed it, and the this app app? It’s like going from freshly made lemonade to Minute Maid. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Gmail is one of the best apps I’ve ever used! It has almost everything that I could’ve ever imagined an app even having! I mean... you can EMAIL people with it, you can also RECEIVE emails from different people, and so much more! If I was to be asked what app would I recommend to anyone that lets you email people, I would most DEFINITELY say that I would recommend Gmail to about almost ANYONE! Since I’ve had Gmail I have NOT had ANY problems with it at all really. Except for that ONE time where I could not really receive any emails from anyone. But I was kinda glad that I couldn’t really receive any emails from anyone cause I have KINDA been getting some random emails from people. Other than that... I would give Gmail a five star rating. Thank you, this app creators, for creating an app that lets me be able to email different people. 📧 I don’t really know what I would do without Gmail. ESPECIALLY for those people who I can’t really text their phone numbers.

When I open Gmail, it's all overwhelmingly full of information. You get labels that you can partially define on your phone but have to use the actual webpage to do advanced stuff, you get the "tabs" that hides emails partially and sometimes spam goes into primary, which renders the "primary" nonsense, when you click on "All mail" it shows ALL mails from ALL accounts, but how about seeing all the mails from one account? There's no way, you have the star function but nearly useless because it shows just everything including archived emails from years ago. Now why I need Gmail? Hell, it's because I need two factor for my google account! Hell, I think Microsoft Outlook is nowadays better than this cluster piece of complicated app that probably people just want to shove in bunch of personal goals into it to get some bonus or whatever instead of making this useful to the end user.
They killed inbox and said this has all my favorite features in it, or is it straightly lying? It's not all the features! All the useful ones including swipe to archive a bundle of emails, the reminder to-do list feature, ALL of them are gone, and now we have this! With Ads built in!

Hi this app, I love Gmail , but I’m kind of confused if Gmail is really for kids ages 4. If you scroll up to the top you will see something that says “For Ages 4 and up.” I think the Idea of having kids in elementary school and that 5,6, and 7 isn’t a very smart idea, if kids not mature enough use Gmail what do you think is going to happen? I personally think what's going to happen is that kids are going to get messages from random people asking for pictures of them naked or something, the 2nd thing I think is going to happen is that kids are going to message people like murderers and they might give away their address or something so that’s bad, and the last thing I think is going to happen is that kids are going to run away and meet the “love of their life” (the child predator that asked he or she to meet him or her) and get kidnapped. So I recommend you change that so parents can not get confused and let these happen to their children.
Sincerely, Jeniffer.
