Google has removed its just released Gmail app from the App Store for repair.

The application was just launched this morning and customers have been loudly complaining that its just a web app with startup errors, push notification problems, no offline cache, laggy, and does a bad job at rendering emails.

After pulling the app Google said:

Earlier today we launched a new Gmail app for iOS. Unfortunately, it contained a bug which broke notifications and caused users to see an error message when first opening the app. We've removed the app while we correct the problem, and we're working to bring you a new version soon. Everyone who's already installed the app can continue to use it.
