Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is possible to send and receive emails and create meetings in the calendar. The visible interface layer can be customized quite extensively with colours of choice, though this takes quite long.

Cons

  • Buggy in every aspect; meeting pop-up reminders appear long after the meeting, new-mail slide-ins partly outside the screen and not readable, calendar management is a pain, new contacts not automatically saved, graphic glitches, loads forever on startup, long loading times for even simple tasks, general interaction flow is poor, crashes frequently. (running on a new ThinkPad T14, Windows11)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It looks nice, when it works - Has a free, VERY BASIC version which is rather a con than a pro since it's so very basic
  • It doesn't randomly lose connection to SMTP servers like Apple Mail. It doesn't crash like Apple Mail.
  • Looks good. Good integration between devices. Unlike Craig N's review, I didn't have the loading issues he did on Macs.
  • I like that I can organize my emails by priority, files, or account. I can flag emails with different colors and or priorities. It is easy to add and modify the signature.

Cons

  • - Freezes up daily to where you have to force close it - The premium license is yearly and you cannot outright buy the license like with other mail clients - The basic features are VERY basic, but in Gmail and Microsoft web email you get the premium features that Spark offers for free. Spark wants to charge you for these basic features which shows pure greed. - Customer service is lacking if not nearly nonexistent
  • It uses some GOOFY "smart" email inbox that makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. An indicator on the inbox shows a number of supposedly unread emails, but they do not correspond to anything in the real world. No physical folders or rules like Outlook or even Apple Mail to channel important emails. It has some sort of "smart" routing but I've never been able to get it to work like the old school email apps (Outlook or Gmail). The app is almost non-functional on iPhone. It takes forever to load (I do have a lot of archived emails) and sometimes doesn't load at all. But the iOS email app or the Gmail app are both very functional. Back to the desktop version. It often takes awhile to open or close the app. I don't like how it freezes sometimes when you're deleting multiple emails. And there is no easy way to select all emails from a particular sender and delete at once (a technique I use to get rid of subscription emails or junk email). Yet I still pay for this app because the native Apple email client is total garbage. HEH the most cash-flush company in the freaking world and they can't fix their email client.
  • The most important feature in a spam filled world is blocking. Spark wants to charge $13 / email per month. Sorry Spark but that is bordering on extortion.
  • It takes what seems like forever to load. And to rub salt in the wound on the screen is says "Love your email again" while I wait and wait and wait. Only works on iPhone and iPad not on my PC.
