Sorry guys, you lost me at the last upgrade. The design is way too directive for my comfort. Coming from Spark 2, forcing me to use emails in a completely different and frankly pretty restrictive way you've designed for Spark 3 without any other option is the opposite of what I envision a good user experience to be. Also this product is clearly not ready for market, and I'm tired of the launch it first and fix it later attitude of many software vendors. Thanks for providing Spark 2 for all these years, but I'm done.

New spark is a UX mess

Most of the ratings and awards are misleading since those don't have anything to do with the new resource-hungry Electron app with, in my opinion, horrible user experience. Readdle made a "revolutionary" change to the new UI which makes you "more focused" by removing the 3 column view and showing you one column at the time so you can click more and lose the larger picture and context as a bonus. Readdle, please at least fix e-mail content slow scrolling issue in latest version of MacOS native app so we can continue using it. Thank you.

I didn't like the new experience. They tried to change the status quo but it didn't connect with me.

I can't believe I'm saying this about Spark Email, but after using it for five years, they have managed to make it so bad that it's hardly usable! All the nonsense AI features are so annoying, and the new design is messy and uncomfortable. I'm so disappointed!

A really long-time user of Spark. Unfortunately I was unable to use the new spark because it was super slow and the experience was confusing. I had to delete it from my phone and revert back to Spark 2 on my Mac.

Spark was great until v3 took away their attention from fixing bugs in v2 and killed the third column in v3. Because of the lack of 3 columns, it is pretty much unusable on a tablet or laptop. Sparks support team has always been a, “that’s great; we’ll tell our product manager” and then nothing happens. This seems to be happening with the third column, which is disappointing. I switched to Canary mail, which has its own set of issues as they try to throw AI at everything, but if you turn all that off and customize the toolbar a bit, you get what Spark was with 3 columns.

Hi Brad, thank you for the feedback. We are currently working on the 3-column view, and we hope to launch it in the end of February - hope you can come back to take a look once it's done. If you wish - we can even share with you some work-in-progress mockups to get your feedback on them (but I think we might release it to the beta soon so you can test it live)

Hi Brad! I was responding to some other reviews here and wanted to let you know that the 3-column view has been available on Spark Desktop for some time now, along with the remaining key 'feature parity' features requested by our long-time Spark 2 users. If you're up for giving it another try, we'd be glad to have you back!

Sparkmail went from an incredible app to the slowest, most unreliable, constantly crashing app of all time. I can't go more than two days without the app freezing on me. It blows my mind how the development team took such a wrong turn. Stay away from Spark. It's upsetting to say this because I used to love Spark. But their latest version basically ignores the most basic and critical aspect of a good app: performance. If I have to wait 2 seconds for an email to open up then you're failing miserably.

Spark 2 was my go to email app for years and an app I recommended to all my friends. Spark 3 threw all of that out the window. It's a downgrade in almost every way. It's missing features that were in 2, is full of bugs, has awful performance now (freezes, crashes, etc.), and is just not ready for public release. Instead, they focus on new features like AI replies instead of fixing the bugs and trying to have feature parity with Spark 2. You can't even open an email in a separate window, what email app doesn't support that? Spark 3, apparently. The number of bugs, related to basic functionality, is astonishing. Some examples are shift clicking to select multiple emails is broken if the first item you select is scrolled off the screen and copying text from an email you're replying to, while in the reply/compose window, does not actually copy. I can't believe this product was released in the state it's in. It should still be in alpha. It feels like they're trying to force a certain workflow on users, even when users say they don't want that and that it requires more clicks to perform the same tasks that you could in Spark 2. Requiring a subscription for (some) of the same functionality that was in Spark 2 is just the icing on the cake. I'd gladly pay for the Spark 2 experience, but wouldn't use Spark 3 even if everything was free (it's that bad). I realize Spark 2 is still available (for now), but the way they've handled this whole Spark 3 situation has made me lose all faith in Readdle/Spark and I'm moving on. RIP Spark, it was good while it lasted.
