1. 4/5Missing one thing.

   I love everything about this app. It will replace my regular email one day, but for now I use it WITH my email. The reason is because there is no option to be able to delete in bigger quantities. Currently you can delete a message and it will give you an option to delete that senders previous emails en masse, but there is no option to choose many different senders to delete at once. There should be an option to choose several emails you would like to delete, and much like the current method, it can ask you to delete the selected messages, or the bulk quantity of all the previous senders messages. It would be much easier to remove one sender from the bulk quantity I am deleting at the time if for some reason I didn't want to delete all those emails from that sender, go back and delete all the ones I chose, then just choose that one email again and delete that one, than to have to do it all one sender at a time I have 42,000 emails that need to be deleted and obviously it is too hard to do it one by one. Being able to delete many emails from one sender is a huge upside to this app but being able to choose many different centers and then deleting all their previous emails would really help clear up my inbox

2. 5/5Greatly improves email management

   So glad I discovered this app. As much as I liked Spark, Spike's UI is less cultured because it doesn't have the Sent, Trash, Archive, and other folders visible in the left column like most email clients do. And best of all, the Unread section makes it easy to achieve Inbox zero because it only presents unread emails and hides my previously read emails. That means I'm processing emails faster and efficiently. The Priority and Other sections are a good idea, but I prefer the Recent and Unread display. The chat layout of emails also hides cluttered subject lines, and you don't have to open emails in a separate window unless you choose to. I also like the Snooze, Search, Tag, and Pin functions. These features cause me to archive emails more instead of moving them to folders. Spike's Search seems to work, so there's less need to file away emails. And finally, I can't wait to use the group chat feature for a project or ongoing discussion. It works similar to Slack, so it should be useful. My wishes include the ability to create signatures for alias email addresses, add or change avatars of contacts, select event logistics and create an event in the Spike calendar.

3. 5/5THE LITERAL PERFECT APP! ❤️😍😃

   Hi! My name is Emersyn. I have been using spike for about 5 months and have found nothing I don’t like abt it! I have the oldest iPad in the world! (Not literally, it was sarcasm)! The gmail app didn’t work right and kept asking me to click on this link! I was tired of it! I found spike and decided to give it a try! It has been awesome! My whole fam has it now! My parents love it cause they travel a lot bc of there jobs and they never know who’s calling them bc we call them off of the other parents phones! But now with spike I can call and FaceTime them using my Gmail! No phone/phone number needed! It’s awesome and I think you should try it! (Especially if your parents travel) I also love that it’s free! Well, it’s free until you want to add another gmail/email on the same account. But that even isn’t expensive! One thing I want to tell you is that in a lot of other reviews they talked about it being unsafe or insecure but I want to tell you differently. It is totally safe and secure! There is nothing unsafe about it! Hope you have a great day! 😃 -Emersyn G.

4. 3/5No “In-App Purchases” Is Misleading

   I work at a very small business and only recently was given an email address there. I don’t even use it every day. After looking at a few options, I decided to try Spike—partly because there were no “in-app purchases” listed. I had barely used it enough to really get a feel for it yet when I started getting notices about my “Free Trial” coming to an end. What? Considering some of the paid email apps that I passed on because they required a subscription, I figured maybe it would be only a couple of bucks per month. I click subscribe. I’m taken to a page that tells me it’ll be $12/month to keep using it for my “Business email” that I use like once or twice each week. I won’t even pay $12/month for a video streaming service that I’d use every day. That is a ridiculous price and a suspect way to implement it. I was under the impression that Apple did not allow apps with subscriptions that didn’t use in-app purchases. (Didn’t a large video game company recently get taken down for doing just that?) So, I guess I’m deleting Spike and will never discover if it's even worth $12/month. I’ll give it a few stars because it seemed like a decent app, but I have no idea how much value comes with the cost.

5. 5/5A pleasant surprise

   I work for a school and I get at least 40+ emails a day from different departments and students. And most of them are long email threads which at times were difficult to find a particular email within that thread and also difficult to find attachments when the thread was over 20+ emails long. I strictly use my iPad pro for everything and I’ve tried pretty much all the decent email apps that I could find from the app store. Most of them hav only lasted less than 2 minutes on my ipad because they weren’t up to par. I currently have 5 different email apps(Apple Mail, Outlook, Spark, Edison and Gmail) on my ipad because none of them can do everything I want an email app to do. So I use different ones for specific tasks. I always search on the web for reviews on email apps because I wanted to find THE email app that I could use. One day Spike came up on one of those review site. So I installed the app thinking this was going to be just like one of those many apps that I’ve tried and deleted after 2 minutes. To my pleasant surprise, the text messaging style format was very easy to get use to and it really worked well on long email threads. I didn’t have to click individual emails to see them, I could just scroll up and down to see ALL of the email conversations within that email thread. And the attachments also showed up and very easy to find. It’s been a week since 9/13, Spike is not only still on my ipad but it also has became my main go to mail app now. Spike has checked many boxes on my list. I DO wish that they could bring one of the features from it’s desktop counterpart to the iOS version which is the “Send later” feature. So please bring it to the iOS version on the next update! Well, this review is getting awfully long and I’m not the kind of person who writes reviews all the time. So here you have it. Give it a try and see if this app is for you or not.
