AI? No thanks
I wanted a simple AI-free Gmail alternative, but Spark is ruined by AI
Good with caveats
I like this app a lot, but I recently had to reinstall it, and now that I’m freshly signed in, it’s constantly popping up unskippable promotions for their AI subscription. I already know how to use the app, and I’m not interested in buying anything, and if I’m trying to get work done in my email, I shouldn’t have to sit through unspeakable promotions to do it

Terrible update!
Absolutely terrible update without options to customize appearance to simple design of received/pinned/deleted! Who in the world approved it?
It’s not as good as everyone says
How simple should it be to be able to delete an email? Easy, and obvious, right? It’s not in this app. The UX seems to be a bit all over the show, and bogged down in a tonne of other features. The app is designed to make you pay and sign up for it.
Best for Multiple mailboxes
I like spark over other mail apps because its smooth and works as it supposed to work
Not dependable
Drafting emails feature is fantastic. But the app offered to nudge me to address subscriptions and place orders based on emails and did not do that at all. I was depending on it. Anything I asked it to look for it found but I paid $99 and it will only search within one year. Not worth it.
Great email app!
I’ve been using the app again and have very few if any issues with the email app. I receive great support when I do have a problem and quick responses. The versatility of the app for my use is the only email app I will use going forward.
Would recommend!

Goodbye spark
I love spark, but the AI features in Apple mail are free, and ain’t nobody got time to read the long emails my kids’ school sends 🤣. It’s hard to swallow $100 a year when something else is free.
Infuriating automation. Not a serious app.
It makes videos much bigger when it prepares them to be attached to an email, then tells you they're too big to send and to upgrade to use Spark Cloud.
First, don't change my videos.
Second, both my provider and the recipient's allow attachments up to 50MB, and that's pretty standard, so why is this app putting a lower limit on?
iOS Mail has mandatory compression (again, why?) but at least I can send something, even if it's degraded. This is just a blocker to getting anything done. Joke of an email app.
On top of this, updates periodically reset your signature options, adding a "Sent with Spark [hyperlink]" note to the bottom of new emails. Getting caught by this when you're trying to send a quick reply leaves a bitter taste.
And as if that's not all too much already, when you install Spark on an additional device, it resets many of your settings (e.g groups) and syncs them through iCloud to all your other devices.
Never before have I encountered an app that is so disrespectful of user choices.
I've now abandoned the app since it can't even handle a follow-up to a reply without messing up the chain. Replying to your last reply to get an answer? That doesn't work.
I will not miss this app. It has massive ridiculous issues everywhere.

Waiting 12hrs for download
Still doesn’t really work with iOS 27
Shows the words “no content” the email came this morning and I still can’t see it at 7:12p
The Spark app use to be very reliable, I’m not giving up yet

U have ruined this app
I can't even get my emails anymore, or connect my accts
Es lo mejor !
La app es lo mejor pero no sé qué le pasa que tiene las notificaciones desactivadas y es imposible activarlas☹️☹️ please if someone can help me I will be very grateful
Terrible
This app constantly fails to refresh and consistently has loading errors when opening emails. Updates never fix the issues.
Total Privacy Invasion
Not sure why you guys want access to all my Google workplace data suddenly and won’t let me opt out of said permission but I’m done using this app. I don’t give permission to view my contacts to any apps
Good but could be better
Wish calendar could be a column in inbox like in outlook so you could easily book meetings from emails and see your day at a glance without toggling back and forth. Also doesn’t play well with Google mail. Think that is on google’s side though. Lastly, folder trees in sidebar don’t stay expanded for ease of filing emails.

Great App!
Love t over Mac Mail!
Great
Great product
Price keeps going up for features i (and others) don’t want
Love this app and all I want is the ability to prioritize senders and group emails. All this BS AI stuff and they think they can charge $100/year. I’d gladly pay $50/year for the features that I use but this is absurd. Best of luck to Readle.
Not the right app for me. Please no bundling ‘conversations’. At least give me the option.
Unable to eliminate ‘conversations’ and maintain separate emails for reading and replying. Further, their systems had regular difficulty downloading messages where competitive systems downloaded emails without issue at the same time. Spark is not my recommendation for email assistant. I wanted to like it but it doesn’t meet my needs or expectations. I don’t like emails automatically converted to a single ‘conversation’ where it is much more difficult to track and reply accordingly. Just my opinion.
