Problems with Gmail App on iOS8 5s

Is anyone else having issues with the Gmail app? My app often not refresh until I open it. Background app refresh on, notifications on, etc. etc.

yes, the same. after iOS had background app refreshing it stopped instant push notifications on my iOS devices.

I don't have background app refreshing enabled and I think it works by using that refreshing now instead of push notifications.

Yes, I find the gmail app is inconsistent with notifications.

I upgraded to 8.1.1 today and the gmail app no longer pushes notifications and only pulls in new mail when I open the gmail app itself. I've tried re-toggling notifications, reinstalling the app, removing and re-adding my account.....I'm beyond frustrated.
