Hi guys, Thank you all for the interest and comments. We've spent the last 2.5 years working on Spark in order to change the email experience for people with a busy inbox. Readdle has a proven track record of creating amazing productivity apps that are used by 50 million people (Scanner Pro, PDF Expert, Calendars, Documents), but it was the time to take on a bigger challenge and solve bigger problems in tech. That's why Spark was born. So what is Spark? Spark is an intelligent email client that shows you what's important in your inbox. It bubbles emails from real people to the top, and allows you to take batch actions on your newsletters and notifications. We created it for people who live by their inbox and who want to have an amazing experience with email. Here's how Spark intelligently helps you: - Smart Inbox lets you quickly see what’s important and batch archive the noise - Natural language search (i.e. search “email from Alex last week with a PDF”) - Beautiful and minimalist design - Amazing Calendar invite cards (this alone is a killer feature. See your schedule while accepting the invite) - Quick Replies with emotions - Smart notifications will only notify you about important emails (you can also teach Spark) If that's not enough to make you switch: - Spark supports Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro - It will sync all your settings and snoozes across all your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac) - iOS App was named one of “Best of the App Store 2015” by Apple. - Spark for Mac is now "Editors' Choice" on the Mac App Store The Business Model: Spark 2.0 is already in the works and will be geared towards Team collaboration around email. Spark will remain free for personal use, but we will charge the teams on recurring basis. Here's the story behind Spark and why we created it: https://readdle.com/blog/2016/11... I hope to hear your thoughts and feedback. Please remember that this is version 1.0.

@denzhadanov Been a long time user on iOS and a beta user on the Mac. Brilliant app. I wake up to only relevant emails now. Sleep has improved. Needed that. Thank you!

@denzhadanov Great job guys! I have been using Spark on iPhone for a while and liked it a lot. Already installed on my Mac and happy so far :)
@denzhadanov I really enjoy it so far! I have been using Newton for a while and Sparks interface is much more compelling with multiple mailboxes. I think you should consider integrating mail tracking/scheduling :)

@denzhadanov would love to be able to set a default font (even better a default font stack so it matches my signature).

@denzhadanov Wow, so impressed at this. Spark is ace on IOS and whilst I thought I was content with Airmail on Mac, I'm now not so sure. One killer feature I love on Airmail is being able to filter all the messages by same sender with one keystroke - far easier to work through (or bin). Can't see that Spark or Polymail have that feature (yet). Keep up the fab work!

@denzhadanov I love the iOS app (it just goes crazy if a lot of accounts are connected) . Not sure why Mac app is not available in the Indian app store.

@tigranhakobian @denzhadanov how's the iphone app? is it better than Polymail's? I've enjoyed that so far

@meetbryce yes! This is my biggest frustration with Spark.

@trey_hakanson @denzhadanov the iPhone app is really great for me! I have been using Apple's native mail app for a while, then Outlook (which was great before Apple releasing iOS 10), but Spark is definitely better. Haven't used Polymail, so can't compare it with Spark.

@denzhadanov Where is the iOS app? Website says only for Mac?

@denzhadanov this is a picture-perfect model for how a maker should describe their product on PH

@denzhadanov Excellent news! I'm excited to give this a try. What rendering engine does Spark use to display HTML emails?

@denzhadanov hands down the best email app for macOS and iOS to come out after Sparrow. My favorite detail is the ability to switch between different keyboard command modes on a Mac.
