Spark from Readdle - the most convenient email client to iOS with a bunch of settings

I'm pretty picky to a software and always try new products, trying to use the best, but with Mail on iOS I somehow went wrong: no matter what I tried, anyway back to the standard Mail. So it was until I tried Spark. I was invited to participate in a closed beta test, and I am pleased to mail accounts disabled and replaced in the dock icon Mail on Spark. As it turned out, not lost. On the Mail I'm not coming back.

Developers set a goal to create the most user-friendly and customizable client, and their approach is manifested immediately after the launch. When you add accounts we are not forced to enter the data manually, and offer to take advantage of 1Password. You are required only to make a finger on Touch ID, and after a couple of seconds, you can start working.

Folder "Inbox" at the Spark unusual, it - like almost everything in the application - you can customize yourself by selecting one of several options. For the "Inbox" of three: Smart Inbox, Inbox, and Attachments.

Smart Inbox - this is all your letters are automatically sorted by type. For example, the new letters, binding, mailing and so on. They will appear in separate units, making it easier to see and reach them.

Inbox, as the name implies, it is usual to all the "Inbox" with all of your mail, you have not read or sent to other boxes.

More interesting is the Attachments mode. It displays a list of emails with attachments, allowing them to quickly view, save and send. With support for a variety of services: Dropbox, Evernote, Pocket, Instapaper, and others - in this regard, opening wide opportunities. And, of course, you can view any file, whether it is an image, document or archive.

Design Spark thoughtful enough, here almost all of the functionality available from the main screen. In addition to interacting with the letters from the box "Incoming", which, thanks to gestures, archived, deleted and marked by a simple swipe, you can open a pretty powerful search, fixed posts, integrate with your iOS calendar and, of course, write New letter.

To be precise, we get five widgets that you can customize on your own. When this choice is available, not only the necessary elements, but also their location. There are two options on the top bar in the form of icons and bottom of the screen in the form of floating buttons, drop-down when you click.

menu allows you to personalize the same way to set up and a sidebar: you can select the necessary items to rearrange them, and remove unused. Here are the gestures and settings already mentioned widgets.

The Spark many options that you can reconfigure everything: interface, accounts, notices, badges, view, sign, sound, and even a lot of things. The title of the custom email client he justifies by 100%.

Now on the use. Spark is much more convenient standard Mail, and other e-mail clients, I've tried, and it is not empty words. Since the speed and finishing with integration services - everything works as it should be here. Letters to a locked iPhone come faster than the included Mac (and not just iCloud, but Gmail), they are not looming on the icon and immediately disappear, if I read them on another device.

On the resulting letter it is very easy to answer, even if you are currently employed. For such cases, provided quick answers like, thanks and a smile (in the manner of those that are in the Apple Watch), with which you can tell the person that you think of his statement. Forward, print, save, email or PDF to TXT and simple.

All of the above applies to writing new letters. The editor is very simple and contains only the most necessary: ​​specify a destination, select the mailbox from which will be sent an email, specify the topic and write text, attach a file if necessary. The required signature if you have more, you can select the swipe left and right. And another interesting point. If you are distracted at the time of writing the letter, it is not necessarily stored in the Drafts, you can just roll into a small widget and move to any part of the screen, and then return to it.

Using built-in calendar appointment can be scheduled immediately adding the right people in the recipients. In this calendar it works "in both directions": it allows you to not only view the events in the iOS calendar, but also add new directly from Spark.

Find the right letter in the pile of mail, thanks to a clever search is very easy: it looks for both coincidences symbols and keywords such as "investment", "last week", with "pdf", "with photos", and so Further.

The Spark has a lot of useful things, great to simplify life, such as different types of notifications (either all or only important) for each your account, the ability to mute notifications for a specific person or to view a read-receipt of your letter recipient.

In summary, it must be said that the e-mail client from Readdle really get quality. I would like to find at least a couple of flaws in the Spark, but could not. I'm in it like the convenience, speed, functionality, the ability to fine-tune, Apple Watch support. You can see for yourself, the app is completely free. Well, I'll go hide somewhere far away icon Mail.
