The iOS Gmail app has increased in size to 140MB at the last update. I'm on a 16GB iPhone and I've noticed app sizes slowly increasing over the last two and a half years that I've had my phone. I have to keep an eye on app size to make sure I don't run out of space on my phone. I've already boycotted the Facebook app, but apps like Gmail are too important to uninstall. If it comes to it I'll be getting rid of a lot of other apps before Gmail (e.g. the Google app) when I need to reclaim space. I don't understand how app sizes keep creeping up; it's moronic. By contrast, the Reddit app is a slim 13MB and I'd say it does a lot more than the Gmail app.
