All-new Spark - Smart. Focused. Email

Spark replaced the Mail App for me since the past year on iOS. It's an absolute treat to use. Excited to try it on Desktop! Grats to the team

Really nice update, but I still want to be able to see my folders all the time, I don’t want them hidden. Please give us the option to show them all the time.

So you removed all the features I liked in Spark (two column layout, Smart/Classic split view, favorite labels, etc. etc.). Have you ever heard the saying "Don't fix what ain't broken?" As an UI designer I really dislike the new direction. I have used Spark for years, soon almost a decade, but I guess it's finally time to move on... Good bye, it was fun while it lasted.

I've been using Spark from v1 to now v3. First of all, the 3-panel-layout really matters for some of us who care about efficiency so much. Though I prefer this v3 design, I think there should be an option at least to bring the panels back to the main window. And it is awesome how the new version organize my inbox by a set of methodology. I can now focus on my priority at a glance for both work & personal email accounts.

I am all for change and updates. Nothing should stand still and its always good to offer more features. I like some of the new design, though the lack of the 3 panel pane is a killer for me. It suits my workflow and I have no interest in any email app that doesnt have that. I have tried it before and it doesnt work for me.

I've been using Spark a very long time and when I saw there was a major update I was excited because I felt Spark was showing its age. But when I saw the new version I felt really sad. It's got to be one of the worst user experiences I have seen in a while. Not only did you change the UI drastically, you also got rid of valuable app integrations that people used. Here are my primary pain points with this horrible design: 1. You are making your users click multiple times to see an email, and then that email takes up the whole window. You got rid of the multiple pane design and now I have to navigate emails like they're a web site - clicking in and then having to navigate back (another click) to see my other emails. This is LUDICROUS! 2. The side bar doesn't stay open, so again I am having to click to reveal it every time I want to go to another mail folder (Sent, Spam, Archive, etc). Again a very piss poor user experience. 3. Your spam folder doesn't give any indication to the user that there is stuff inside it. What if I got an email from a new contact and it was important? I'd never know it ended up in Spam! 4. Taking action on an email is a chore. AGAIN, you force me to click on the email to bring up the options for deleting, archiving, etc. No swipe options - they're gone. 5. Why in the hell would you give me the option to block an email from an unknown sender? This shouldn't be an up front option - it should be in the email pane itself. So you don't even give me a chance to decide after reading the email. That one pissed me off pretty well. 6. A subscription model for this trash? Are you seriously kidding me? I chose to uninstall Spark today on all my devices - and I have decided to go back to using Apple Mail. I loved Spark very much, as did a whole lot of people, and you have betrayed us with this monstrosity of a design that is a horrible horrible user experience! From what I'm seeing you have made a lot of people unhappy with this piece of garbage. I wish your team the best. I wish you had spent a lot more time thinking this through. RIP Spark

Man this app used to be good. I was really excited when I heard the Windows client was going to be released, but now I'm honestly considering switching. The only app that is still fine to me is the iOS client; it's the only reason I am still holding off on completely deleting Spark. The new v3 Client for both Windows and MacOS is absolutely worse than v2 in my opinion. V2 was practically perfect with swipe gestures & smooth scrolling & dark mode, and with 2 panes always open making folders and folder contents easily accessible. V3 gets rid of that and opts for one pane that toggles open and closed; it's much slower and just flat out annoying. The "mark as done" feature is also completely useless to me, and interferes with how I normally use email between devices. Please just let us turn this off and go back to a normal inbox like in v2. Lastly, I HATE that you guys added the "Sent with Spark" signature for new free users. I completely understand that you need to monetize your product, but punishing new users (which is what this is to me) is not going to get people (including me) to pay for your subscription. And before you comment and say "existing free users can just turn this off", I understand and have already done so. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, makes me never want to ever subscribe in the future, and is another factor making me consider deleting your app for good. The worst part of all of this is that as soon as the app was released for windows, I was going to recommend it to all of my family and friends. Now there's absolutely no way I would/could with the forced signature being a thing for them, and the marked as done "feature" that should be able to be turned off. I really hope you guys get it together because I used to love this app. EDIT: Also, the windows app has crashed on me almost every other time I use it. Also, following article makes a lot of other good points on why the MacOS v3 is completely worse that v2: https://www.craft.do/s/AoGwif29A...

Oh god, I'm so happy I read these comments before upgrading... Some new features like approving/rejecing senders (reminds me of hey.com) looks really nice, but actually launching an app where important existing features are missing and "will come back soon", removing the 3-panel layout sounds like really bad choices.. And finally - adding ADVERTISEMENTS to my emails? That is just utterly unacceptable and I definitely expect you to walk back on that horrible decision...

Readdle is repeating what they did with PDF expert. A bad new design, super expensive subscription and shaming the past customers with pay prompts. After destroying Documents, PDFexpert and Spark, possibly Scanner Pro is next. Hate what this team is doing.

Have been using it for over a year on both Mac and iOS. The best email client I've used so far 👍. Please consider adding a couple of features: the unread filter for Classic view and the possibility to save the original email with headers and all the tech info.
