Description
The Unread Gmail Widget is literally that, it's a widget that displays the unread count of gmail messages.If you'd like to try before you buy to see if the app works for you search of Unread Gmail Widget Demo for a 7 day demo version.
Please ensure that you are placing a widget on your homescreen rather than the shortcut Google Play automatically installs, if necessary please take a look at http://waxsoft.co.uk/android-apps/unread-gmail-widget/usage/ for instructions on how to install a widget.
The gmail 4.2 updates are new, so if you see any issues with Unread Gmail Widget and the 4.2 gmail app please email me at developer@waxsoft.co.uk to get it fixed!
Unlike other widgets this works with all versions of the GMail app to date, including the recent 2.3.5 update.
Features include!
* Simple just install setup
* No IMAP necessary for most operations
* Very responsive (as fast as the gmail app itself)
* Accurate – shows exactly the same unread count as the gmail app itself
* Works with gmail 2.3.5 and above (not tested on 4.2)
* No polling, so no battery impact
* Multiple separate gmail account support
* Basic skinning support
If you're after a gmail widget that just works, then Unread Gmail Widget is the widget for you!
Gmail 2.3.5
Known limitations: Non-priority messages read elsewhere will not get updated on the widget until the next gmail message arrives for that account.

Reddit Widget Suggestion Wondering if you could create a similar app, but for new/unread messages on Reddit? Something similar to the current widget, but with Reddit's famous orange envelope notification as opposed to Gmail's red logo. I'd be more than happy to pay for that too!

Responsive developer Google Play installs shortcut to app and not to widget. This caused my confusion and could be mediated thru better documentation.

Old version better Was a 5 star app until I installed the most recent version. Disappointed. I can no longer position the label to match any other icons. Why the change? I'm using a Samsung G2.

Somewhat confused by all the wonderful 5-star reviews as it simply doesn't work for me - counts are always wrong. A shame. HTC Desire HD.

Excellent. Very good but can you somehow raise the level of the icon. It sits lower than other other icons on the screen. I'm using the standard Gmail icon but it does not line up. Epic 4g Touch.
