They are falling into the hole of adding products on top of products, while their core apps are decaying.
Please. Fix. The. Android app! It's unusable. I feel like I beg for them to do this in every yearly survey, and then they change the design a little bit, it loses a few features and gets some new ones, while missing basic stuff like unmarking an email as spam. This wouldn't be a problem if it was possible to use K9 or AquaMail with Proton, but that's obviously not an option.
I first thought you might be able to get Proton Bridge installed on Android and then link that to the mail app you like, but turns out that's desktop-only.

It's not a hole, it's only natural. It's easier to add new products than it is to improve existing ones (tech debt), and new products can bring in new customers, make existing customers happier, etc. which is easier to see and justify.
That being said, the Android app has some weird gaps (like can't snooze an email) that probably won't take long to fix.
That's what I told myself about the spam thing I mentioned when they released the redesign, and it's still not possible, at least on the version I'm using at the moment.
I'm sure there's a lot of background here and corporate dynamics we're not aware of, it just doesn't feel great as a paying customer. The apps have never really been fully adequate.
Are you using the current version of the app? It's been working great for me. They switched over from an older version somewhere on the order of a few months ago.
