We all use Gmail as our native email application on our device. We often change browsers, launchers, wallpapers, etc. once our mind appeals for a change of taste. But do we tend to change certain apps like email for a change of taste? Of course not! 

Aren’t you tired of using the same Gmail for years and years? Aren’t you looking for a fresh exposure and you don’t know which one should you try? Then after covering this up, you’ll be able to find a new exposure of satisfaction -Spark mail. 

Overview

Spark mail is a free, secure and private email client platform application developed by Readdle that brings a revolutionary email facility for teams. Being awarded as the ‘Best of the App Store’ – Apple, the app revolutionises your email experience by the use of Machine Learning (AI). The app has also been glorified by TheVerge, TechCrunch, and FastCompany as no other option.

• Minimal UI: It’s a greater option of the fans of minimalism who wants to keep their cyberspace minimal.

Synopsis 

Here is the detailed overview of the top-rated feature of the app.

1. UI

The UI of the app is so minimal that makes it aesthetically appealing and modern. The UI is one of the plus points where Spark takes down Gmail.

2. Dark Mode

Even though the dark mode is available on Gmail, it’s not supported on all OS versions like the iOS 12 and download and Android Oreo and below. This too is a weak point of Gmail. So if you are using any of these versions and you are really wanting Dark Mode, you are pleased to check it out. Although the dark mode in the app is not fully black if you want you can set it true black (#000000) as well.

3. Email Templates

This is another feature lacked by Gmail, the ability to create templates for emails. The best part is that you can even schedule these templates to certain emails.

4. Teams

The most overrated feature of Spark Mail is the ‘Teams’ feature that lets you collaborate email account with your team. It works exactly like how an organisation manages an email id and lets its members to use it.

5. Quick Replies

Don’t confuse this feature to Gmail’s ‘Smart Compose’. As the name suggests, Spark’s Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning suggests replies or responses based on the mail received. By the way, you can disable/enable this feature in the app settings. Following are the quick replies that are currently available on the app.

Denouement

So these are the speciality features of Spark Mail app. If you are a fan of the dark mode and your software does not provide the ability to Force-Override dark mode your device you should be definitely checking out this app. If you are into going out to a fresh new exposure from Gmail, it’s highly recommended by TheVerge, TechCrunch, FastCompany and me.
