But they won’t come in your way if you don’t want them to.
#SPARK FOR IOS REVIEW FOR ANDROID#
Spark for Android has a clean, no-nonsense interface. Called Smart Inbox, the feature can be turned off if you’d like to conduct business the traditional way. Instead, under each category, there’s a ‘View All’ button which allows you to go through them gradually. The visual aspect which personally impressed me the most was that Spark doesn’t inundate the home page with every email you’ve got. Similarly, individual emails inside threads are distanced from one other ever so slightly to avoid confusion when you’re dealing with tens of them. Spark organises all your emails in bundles like Personal, Notifications, Newsletters, which are perfectly spaced in the UI. The first bit you notice is the charming aesthetic that won’t feel cramped or overwhelm you even when you have hundreds of pending messages to attend. However, as you use it, you come across several of its most impressive abilities. On the surface, Spark offers a familiar experience with a list of your latest emails and a navigation drawer housing the rest of the options on the home page. And like Outlook, email itself would have to cease to exist before Google stops supporting the main Gmail app.Īt the end of the day, it may not be the nicest-looking option around, but it’s hard to beat Google at its own game here.Spark is an email client for macOS, iOS, and now, Android.Ī (much) less overwhelming email experience It comes installed on nearly every Android phone in the world, and it’ll always be the first to support any new features or integrations that Android offers in the weeks or years to come. Plus, if you’re on Android, Gmail is literally the default option. Gmail also supports all the things that Google is doing with notifications, too, like notification channels, icon badges, pop-up previews. Google Calendar or Google Docs support? Gmail supports those best, too. Gmail has smart filtering options, smart replies, an automatically flagged priority inbox - sure, there are email apps that replicate some or all of these features, but they’re all copying off Google’s playbook, and it all still works best here. No other email app offers the same power, feature set, and speed as Gmail offers And that’s the fact that it’s Outlook, a name that’s practically synonymous with “email app.” In a world where third-party apps get snapped up or vanish like smoke at the drop of a hat, and even Google’s Inbox can’t be trusted to stick around, Outlook offers a level of security that other apps don’t. There are a few quibbles - search in particular on Outlook isn’t the fastest around, especially compared to Google’s Gmail app, and if you’re looking for more advanced options like muting specific threads, they’re not here.īut there’s one other big advantage to Outlook over other apps like Spark or Edison. The deeply integrated calendar is also a nice touch, especially when it comes to adding things to your schedule that you just got an email about without having to juggle around between apps. Outlook also has a few quality of life features that just make it nicer to use for casual email, an ever-present response bar at the bottom (without needing to tap to open a new menu) that makes jotting off a quick response a snap. Outlook will help you get through your emails as fast as possible
