Thank you guys for all the nice words! I'm super excited for the whole team behind Spark that we finally managed to crete a truly universal email client for iOS. I might be slightly biased, but I do believe that it provides the best email experience and solves the problem of overwhelmed inbox that all of us have. Well, Apple thinks so too that's why Spark got "Best of the App Store 2015" award.
Why should you use it? Email is both incredibly frustrating yet important. Your bloated inbox is a mess and you never know what's important and what's not. That why you create your own techniques to solve that.
With Spark it's much easier since it's smart and fully customizable. A few things that I personally love:
- Smart Unified Inbox (new emails are categorized by "Personal emails", "Newsletters" and "Notifications" so it's super easy to see what's important and delete stuff you don't need
- Quick Replies (reply with just one button)
- Customization (swipes, smart widgets, etc could be customized the way you like it).
- Quick swipe to change signatures
- Smart search - natural language search
There're much more to discover and I would love to answer your questions.
And yes, we are already making a Mac version. So stay tuned and like your email again! :)
@denzhadanov I have so many platforms to manage conversations, I'm used to Gmail - just need to star, reply and compose. I don't need any bells and whistles... yet!! :)
@bentossell I use Airmail on Mac and Outlook on iOS. I look forward to the Outlook for Mac building on the UX and features of the iOS version – it _has_ to be inevitable...
Been using Spark on iOS exclusively, and another client(Airmail) for Mac. So far, so good. Spark lays out emails in a way where I can attack them throughout the day, and get caught up. I was on the beta for the iPad version, and it's been fantastic on the iPad Pro. So happy to stick with a bunch of Readdle apps. Congrats on the official release!
I've been using Spark on iPhone since release and can't imagine having to go back to using anything else. It has become my preferred email client on any platform - I'd rather plough through emails on my phone in Spark than in any mail app on my Mac or iPad. Although now, happy to do it on my iPad too. The search alone puts it head and shoulders above anything else, it's mind-blowingly good.
The smart notifications are the clutch feature of Spark. As someone who wears a Pebble smart watch, I appreciate not getting notified of EVERY... SINGLE... EMAIL on my wrist.
nice!
I'm using the iPhone version and love it. Happy to see that Spark is getting bigger and bigger.
...I don't have an iPad so I can't try this one
BUT I'm waaaaay too excited for the Mac version ;)
I use Spark (almost) exclusively (there are 2 others I use here and there, one specifically for one feature it has) and Spark is by far my favorite iOS e-mail app. Love the swipe setup (I'm experiencing e-mail streamlining bliss lately with a Trash, To Dropbox, Snooze, To Evernote combo!). Can't wait for iTunes, Amazon, Package Tracking, Stats, Weather, and Contacts to be implemented.... can you tell I'm excited about this e-mail app?
If I could offer one suggestion, I'd love to see a button for "People" (perhaps this is what you're already putting together for Contacts) where clicking into a contact will give me his or her contact info, a list of our recent mail, events, files between us. I guess you can tell Outlook is one of the other apps I open on occasion ;)
Oh, and, Mac version? Yes, please!
@denzhadanov love spark! Smart inbox is genius. Only issue with it is that it's too slow. It's gotten much better recently, but I still spend more time looking at the loading spinner than my email. Is that something you're working on?
I think my ideal iOS email client would be spark + speed of outlook.
@mscccc Thanks for the feedback Mike! The loading and pre-loading speed might be slow sometimes because all categorization and loading via IMAP is done on the client side. But yes, we are working on that so give us a few weeks please :)
@mscccc@denzhadanov Are you sure this isn't your mail server that's slow? I've had no issue with speed at all, and find Spark remarkably quick most of the time.
Been beta testing Spark since V1. Hands down the best email client I have ever used. Can't wait for the Mac app. I have constantly recommended Spark to my fiends and family and they love the app too; that means something 😄. Keep up the amazing work @denzhadanov and the Readdle team!
I've been using Spark for a few months, since Mailbox announced it's closure. I really liked it but I sent a few emails to support because the connection with their servers was really slow, imposible using 3G. I never got a response. I switch to Airmail for iOS. I really like the app, but the support has not been that good for me. Sorry guys.
