Spark version 2.5 highlights:

  • Redesigned from scratch
  • Inbox with avatars
  • Customizable email actions
  • Multiwindow support for iPad
  • Dark Mode for both iOS and Android

Full release notes:

Welcome to the all-new Spark!
Our team has put a tremendous effort to redesign Spark from scratch and bring the best email experience for professionals and their teams.

*** Slick New Design
Spark now feels impressively smooth, effortless, yet super powerful to help you love your email again.

*** Enjoy the stylish Dark Mode
We’ve carefully selected the colors to help you work better at night and save battery life. Select the Dark or a truly Black mode in Personalization settings > Color Scheme.

*** Inbox with Avatars
Now it’s a lot easier to breeze through your emails with people’s photos or company logos next to the emails. Turn them on/off in Spark Settings > Personalization > Color Scheme.

*** Customize Email Actions
Select which email actions are displayed at the bottom of an email to fit your personal Inbox workflow better and create the experience you love.

*** Multiple windows support on iPad
Open two Spark windows side by side on your iPad. Why? You could open a long email on the left and compose a response on the right, without the need of going back and forth.

*** Sync of contacts on all your devices
You can now label an email address as an important one on iPhone and it will be automatically defined as important on your Mac or iPad.

Beyond these major new features we’ve also included a handful of important bug fixes and enhancements:

– Fixed a rare but annoying issue with wrong email titles
– Fixed a bug where some emails disappeared during the search
– Fixed a problem with the incorrect name of video attachments
– Fixed an issue with timestamp format
– Fixed crash on watchOS 4
– Fixed incorrect email rendering for peculiar cases
– Fixed the keyboard selection in the email lists
– Improved email sync stability.

We hope you love this update as much as we’ve loved making it.
