Post XXIII. Spark

Spark is an iOS email application that aims to make emailing as convenient and quick as possible. The idea behind this app is to transform your overwhelmed inbox into a smart tool by including a set of powerful features into it.

Spark is incredibly customizable. You can choose the order of menu items, the swipe gestures’ functions, the work of the Archive section and many more.

My favorite feature Spark offers is Quick Reply. There are three options: “like”, “thanks”, and “smile”. They are very useful when you get a lot of email. If you are involved in an informal email conversation, it is so convenient to have an opportunity to reply with a simple tap rather than having to type “thank you so much” on every email. From this perspective, Spark gets closer to instant messengers, letting the user options to act informally.

Among the features Spark has are a language search and a calendar widget. In addition, the app can be integrated with cloud storage services (e.g., Dropbox), Evernote, and Pocket.

Eventually, Spark can be downloaded for free. With all this in mind, I believe it is worth trying this new way of managing your email.
