Needless to say, I highly recommend this app. Readdle isn’t a one trick pony and has a broad app ecosystem. I was over moving to a mobile email app and having the product discontinued or acquired (yes, I’m talking about you Mailbox). Think of it at a basic level like a Slack channel built into the email. I can pin the email, collaborate on the question/task without the noise of email. At first I thought, “why would I want to take communication out of the email channel” but it actually works.

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. There is a subscription component but that is basically for teams and collaboration not for the email component. It has enough features that I can duplicate much of my workflow from Gmail on Chrome. I was a long time user of Newton but when they “shut” it down I switched to Spark. 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. but I’m sure my issue is probably irrelevant to most. 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. It’s that frustrating feeling like I’m not clicking fast enough. 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. 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. 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. Customizable swipes, sharing features, it’s all great! The layout is simple and straightforward. 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. Since my beloved gmail app turned sour, I’ve tried so many email apps for my phone. I’m in the process of transferring my emails to Edison Mail. The added team features are just unnecessary bells and whistles. Emails marked as spam still come through to my inbox. Aside from that my Smart folder is unorganized. This is frustrating because as a teacher I like to create email lists of my students.

Additionally, there’s no option to create email lists/groups. 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. Email signatures that you create on your iPhone will not sync to your Mac or iPad. 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.

I can’t figure out how to unsubscribe from emails without having to physically go into each email to click “Unsubscribe”.

However, I now dread having to open the app every morning. I turned to Spark to better organize my email. I have 5 e-mail addresses because I am a teacher at several schools and a law student.
