Spark, a smart email app for iOS. Best of the App Store 2015?

I'm using the normal Mail app. Is this and outlook really much better?

Yeah...I'm fine with the stock Mail App as well.

The 2 most popular competitors are Spark & Outlook. There are users who swear by them.

I've been using the GMail app, decided to try Spark out. Looks pretty good so far.

No connection to above.
Incidentally going manually to https://readdle.com/ connection bombs out when getting redirected to https://sparkmailapp.com. The same on IE and Chrome.

Chrome reports:
Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from sparkmailapp.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID

sparkmailapp.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to sparkmailapp.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be sparkmailapp.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit sparkmailapp.com right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Google Chrome cannot process. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
Panicked. Changed connection from Cell C to Telkom, the same. It resolves to the same IP. Trying access by IP address and getting:
This server could not prove that it is 162.243.69.44;
its security certificate is from pdfexpert.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.
Ooops! pdfexpert.com is also owned by Readdle! :)

Been using Spark now for a few days, it's really amazing.

Definitely worth a try.

Now using all Readdle apps, except this one. Not compatible with iPhone 4. :(

Quite happy with Google Inbox, but then you need a Gmail account.

Also really liked Outlook but the irritation of "native" stuff always going through the Apple Mail app has seen me sticking to that when I got my new iPhone.
