bring your apps to all platforms first before bringing out another halfbaked service...

This. please just finish all your other offerigns. Proron drive still does not have a linux desktop app. Proton VPN's desktop app is beoken half the time. No mail desktop app...

Completely understandable point, just mentioning that these are separate developer groups, developing different apps. That's why different products have different agendas and development cycles.

They took YEARS to redesign the Android app. They missed their promise deadline at least twice.

Now they are finally rewriting their Android app to be on par with their iOS app, but who knows how many years that'll take.

It's already been 8 months since they said they were rewriting it, and still haven't released anything, despite aiming for summer. Not to mention they're already planning on shipping a half baked version whenever they finally do..

As discussed in the January update, Android will require more work as we are rewriting more of the application, with a big focus on performance and stability. This means some Android features you have requested for Mail are not in our immediate scope for delivery. In particular, conversation view (also known as threading view) won’t make it into the first version of the new Android app, but we hope to deliver it soon after release. Thank you to everyone using the beta Android app for the helpful feedback you have sent us. We hope to be able to release the new Android app to everyone before the summer.

That's the worst thing about Proton AP. You pay a premium to wait like chumps. Not to mention they nickle and dime you for everything! I can't use Proton Pass with my expensive business plan, because they want me to pay even MORE to access it. Meanwhile BitWarden is like $1 per month.

I don't get why we need Proton Pass at all when we have bitwarden. Instead of finally giving me a drive app for linux desktop they're putting out a service that already exists???
