Why I Came Back to Spark and Paid for Premium

I was wrong!

I must admit, when Readdle, the company behind Spark released Smart 2.0 last year I felt a bit disheartened due to the steep premium pricing and ended up not using the app at all and going back to the Gmail app which has gotten a lot better since I last used it.

I was wrong!

For starters, it changed my email routine and I ended up spending a lot more time going through my emails than I used to when I used Spark. This led to a lot of procrastination!

Secondly, the premium version has a lot of extremely useful features, which we’ll discuss later in this blog post.

Spark: The only email app you’ll ever need!

Why I Returned to Spark

Throughout most of the year, I’ve been using the default Gmail app on my Google Pixel 7 Pro, my iPad and on the web and with the help of Jeff Su, I was able to use Inbox Zero and turn my inbox into a decent system that helped me stay on top of my email.

You can check out Jeff’s video here.

The system worked great for me initially, but I ended up abandoning it as I didn’t feel it was working for me in the same way Spark worked for me, I still think that Jeff’s system is great!

Last month, I decided to return to Spark, and at the time I was just planning to use the free version of it. But then I started having a look at some of the premium features such as +AI and Gatekeeper which sounded very appealing to me.

So, I decided to start a 7-day free trial and after using it for 7 days, I was sold on the new way of managing my email and I stayed with premium.

After being on premium for around a month, I am pleased to say that it has seriously improved my email routine and the way I manage my email.

Here’s how…

It works great on Smartphones and tablets!
