If Spark is not a name you know among email apps, no problem. As of today, the app is also available on Android, previously it was only available exclusively on iOS. Shutdown of Google Inbox you use this point in time perfectly.
Last week we had over that Beta version of Spark for Android reported. Now it actually happened pretty quickly: after the start of the beta program, the app is now available to everyone in the Google Play Store. The mail app is supposed to be a perfect alternative to Inbox by Google, which is being discontinued today. Inbox was known for grouping your emails into categories and displaying them in groups and categories. Spark does this too - for a while on iOS and now also on Android.
Spark: Smart notifications and emails in groups
Like Readdle, the makers behind the smart mail app, in a corresponding blog post announcing today, there are a few reasons why users are favoring the email app. There are smart notifications that only notify users via emails from people. This means that annoying newsletters can be easily filtered out in the notifications. The app learns over time and - logically - saves the user's data in the cloud. That is why a Spark account is required before setting up. The app also divides emails into groups - this function is called "Smart Inbox".

There are also some great features for teams. You can create a team in the app and invite all members - they can now discuss things together via email. If two people on the team receive an email, the discussion will automatically fade in. There is a video to explain all the functions on Youtube released. We have also embedded this for you directly above.
The mail app supports all common providers, such as Google, Exchange, Yahoo !, iCloud, Outlook.com, KerioConnect and all other IMAP + POP3 accounts. Spark is currently available free of charge for Android. The app is also available for iPhone, iPad and the Apple Watch in the App Store. A corresponding one TechnikNews Test to Spark will follow.
