Lost in my Inbox

Web developer consultant
Spark
Disappointed in opinionated UX choices and Hey-style changes that attempt to reinvent my email workflow. I gave it a try for a few weeks but went back to Spark 2. Email doesn't need to be solved in such a manner. The best email client is the one that lets me quickly triage, respond and defer messages in a versatile enough way that respects the individual user workflows that have been ingrained for years—if not decades. The only reason I rated it 2 stars instead of 1 is that after the negative feedback and reviews started to roll in they reversed course to keep the older, better app version available and functioning while they worked to restore features that were missing and resolve subscription-based bugs that should have never shipped in the first place. Once I'm forced to leave Spark 2 I'll be moving to Apple Mail or another 3rd party email client. And I'll be disappointed because none of those are as nice as Spark 2, yet all of them (including Hey) are better than this newest iteration.
