User Reviews for Spark Mail – Email by Readdle

Spark was great - now it’s not

I’ve used Spark for the past 3 years. I have 5 e-mail addresses because I am a teacher at several schools and a law student. I turned to Spark to better organize my email. However, I now dread having to open the app every morning. My “flagged” emails are overflowing. My “seen” emails are overflowing. I can’t figure out how to unsubscribe from emails without having to physically go into each email to click “Unsubscribe”. The app does NOT sync between iPad, iPhone, and Mac which is frustrating because if you delete emails on your iPhone you can then expect to see them UNREAD when you check your email on your Mac. Email signatures that you create on your iPhone will not sync to your Mac or iPad. Also, if you do not use your iPad for a week (Spark installed) - you will be inundated with zombie emails that were replied to or deleted already. Additionally, there’s no option to create email lists/groups. This is frustrating because as a teacher I like to create email lists of my students. Aside from that my Smart folder is unorganized. Emails marked as spam still come through to my inbox. The added team features are just unnecessary bells and whistles. I’m in the process of transferring my emails to Edison Mail. Spark has become headache.

Used to Love Spark

I used to love Spark and recommended it to so many family members and friends who began using it as well. I was able to use the widget to preview my inbox (which was my main reason for getting it) and the intuitive design helped me stay on top of my emails for the first time.But the app continues to work less and less well for me :( At first it would log me out of email address #1 very infrequently. Then it began to happen more frequently until it was occurring at least weekly. I last reconnected this email address 4 days ago. Now, the app has disconnected me from all 3 email addresses I had on there and will not allow me to login using the right credentials (it worked online with them). Since I can no longer connect my email to Spark, nor be certain the connection will remain stable, I will be looking elsewhere for a new email app :( I’m actually sad because I loved Spark and loved showing it to different people but I need access to my email and only want to recommend products that work well to people who trust me. I hope these ongoing issues are resolved and thank you for the past year or so of service. I appreciated it and wish the developing team all the best!

Really want to love this app

I do really want to love this app. It has a great feature set. Unfortunately, for the moment it earns one star for me on iOS. First, the latest release freezes, possibly with some bug related to the default signature. While support has been responsive, they have not provided a solution. Therefore, Spark in the latest release is useless to me. Even if I attempt to turn of signatures in settings, it freezes before I can get to the pane to disable it. Also, search just doesn’t work as well as billed. I frequently search for emails with the expected search terms, and the email I’m seeking doesn’t appear on the list. If I go to gmail with the same search, I find it, no problem. Finally, the app, on iOS, seems to crash and restart frequently. Many times I open the running app, only to be presented with the startup splash screen. I do hope they stabilize this product.EDIT: They fixed it quickly! I’m updating my review. They still lose a star for a search function that really needs improvement. But overall, nice response. I do hope they are addressing their quality control behind the scenes and this never happens again.

Keeps marking 100s of emails as unread randomly

UPDATE: PLEASE fix the latest bug. If I go into any email, and then go back, it filters from my Smart Inbox to the particular Email account that the email is to. This is so frustrating and annoying. Idk how many times in the past week I’ve missed my emails because it auto changed the filter from Smart to one of my specific email accounts. ———Hey, I love the app and have been a power user for years, but this issue is starting to really frustrate me and becoming a deal breaker. I have my iPhone, iPad and MacBook with spark. My iPhone and MacBook I use all the time and it perfectly syncs together. My iPad I don’t use that often and sometimes it’s not connected to WiFi at all for weeks at a time. And that also means I don’t sometimes open spark for months at a time (even if iPad is connected to WiFi) When I finally go and open spark on my iPad after a long time, it thinks all emails from the last time I opened spark on iPad to currently, all emails are “New”. So I have 400+ emails as unread. Then when I go to my iPhone or MacBook, my iPad has synced that ALL those emails are unread and now I have 400+ emails marked as unread on all devices It’s the worst. Please fix this

5 Star App Again

Spark has been my go-to iPad app for years. I prefer to sort through email with Spark on my iPad than through any other method (various apps across all my Apple devices). The way it automatically sorts them, not only by my multiple email accounts, but also by type (ie, people, notifications, newsletters, pins, seen, etc) makes it easy for me to get done what needs to be done.At one point I dropped it down to 4 stars because of an annoying bug where there were blank spots in my email list on the left and I had no idea if emails were being deleted or moved to “seen” or what happened to them. This makes it hard to fly through spam control and save important emails for later. I sent support an email, they quickly replied with instructions on how to help them track down the bug (screenshots, how to do log report, etc). They replied and said the devs were able to isolate the problem and it would be fixed. Today I received an email from them that the bug was in fact fixed and to test it. After a vigorous testing session it indeed was fixed and I replied to them letting them know all was well.I’d give 5+ stars if possible because not only is the app great but their support is also great. Keep up the good work Readdle!

Snooze is Broken

Spark is generally great, when it works. However, snooze is perpetually broken. In prior versions, large numbers of snoozed items would lose their snooze date and revert to “someday”, forcing a periodic review of the snoozed folder to ensure nothing had gone AWOL. Now, snoozed items randomly appear at the top of the inbox immediately after being snoozed, labeled with their correct snooze date, or randomly appear in the inbox based on their original unsnoozed date with no indication they were ever snoozed. The latter is particularly bad, as there’s no way to know when this happens other than to keep the inbox empty or to remember everything that was snoozed and to notice when emails don’t reappear on schedule; if I could do that, I wouldn’t need snooze in the first place. Spark typically works well enough and often enough that my periodic reviews of potentially less buggy alternatives always lead me back to Spark, but the continuing snooze bugs are very, very frustrating. The bug appears to be correlated with having multiple devices running Spark and possibly taking Spark out of the foreground on iOS or closing it on macOS without first forcing a synchronization. However, religiously forcing synchronization doesn’t make the problem go away entirely. Avoiding using Spark on iOS while it is open on macOS also seems to help, as does avoiding using Spark on multiple devices altogether. It’s almost certainly a multi-client synchronization bug of some type.

Has changed my outlook on email

THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve been using spark for a few weeks now and I’m in love. I knew what I wanted from an email client but I thought it didn’t exist. I wished I would’ve been using spark YEARS ago. So many emails were getting lost because of my lack of motivation for email and now I’m back in business. I’ve always wanted to be a zero inbox kind of person but the task was so overwhelming. Spark has made it easy and I’m much more focused. I love the snooze feature because before I sometimes needed time to think about a response but I inevitably the email got lost. I’m a business owner so I should respond to emails in a timely way so this has really helped me retain more clients and keep up with email tasks. This really helps me focus when I get interrupted with an email or just need a little more time to think about my response but don’t want to forget about responding (which is what use to happen!) I also love how I can schedule my emails to look more professional sending them more at “business hours”. Email use to be this scary and terrible thing that I had to do, now it really is fun and enjoyable.

I like this... mostly

Since my beloved gmail app turned sour, I’ve tried so many email apps for my phone. This one has some handy features, I like being able to view all of my new mail across multiple email addresses, it’s still sorted in handy categories. Customizable swipes, sharing features, it’s all great! The layout is simple and straightforward. My main complaint: if you’re a super multitasker like I am, every second counts, so the lag when I open this app, is annoying. If my mail is pushed, why do I have to wait for my inbox to update? If I don’t remember to wait for the app to load the newest messages.... that means the message I thought I was clicking is not the newest anymore and has been shuffled out of view and now I have clicked an irrelevant newer message and have to go back to my inbox to scroll to find what I’m looking for. It’s that frustrating feeling like I’m not clicking fast enough. Is it a deal breaker, no. But it’s annoying when you have limited time during the day to check email and now have to remember to mark the accidental email as unread so you remember to deal with it later. Not efficient for me... but I’m sure my issue is probably irrelevant to most.

I won’t even lie it’s better than Gmail

So I started using Spark for work as they required me to use it for emails. I eventually ended up leaving that job and I still use spark! It wasn’t Until I got a computer(I only use spark on my phone) and realized that emailing in general just felt so off without spark 🤣. Easy to use, very nice looking, highly accessible and clutter free. I think the main point is how it categorizes everything in a unique way. There is also a “erase page” feature so you can erase every email on a page instead of having to manually click one at a time. It just feels scores more smoother and responsive compared to other emailing services including gmail! I 100% recommend Spark ESPECIALLY if you are in college. God does this app make schooling a lot easier. I also see some reviews about spam being an issue and not being handled properly by the app and from my experience I haven’t had an issue with that but it seems many have so I’m sure it is an issue. I also haven’t had an issue with being logged out randomly or not getting emails. I’ve used it for 2 and a half years so I can’t really say anything on those points and it’s hard to say if it’s actually a spark issue or something wrong with a persons device. I personally have had 0 issues with the app.

I Love This App

I’ve pretty much tried all of the email apps for iOS and while I use google business in chrome with a lot of plugins on my desktop, this is my new go to mobile email productivity booster. I was a long time user of Newton but when they “shut” it down I switched to Spark. It has enough features that I can duplicate much of my workflow from Gmail on Chrome. There is a subscription component but that is basically for teams and collaboration not for the email component. The basic free subscription to those features is enough for me but if I can get more of my team using this, I wouldn’t have a problem upgrading to the paid tier. At first I thought, “why would I want to take communication out of the email channel” but it actually works. I can pin the email, collaborate on the question/task without the noise of email. Think of it at a basic level like a Slack channel built into the email. I was over moving to a mobile email app and having the product discontinued or acquired (yes, I’m talking about you Mailbox). Readdle isn’t a one trick pony and has a broad app ecosystem. Needless to say, I highly recommend this app.
