Apple Seeds First Public Betas of iOS and iPadOS 13.4 With New Mail Toolbar, iCloud Folder Sharing and More [Updated]

[blodyholy]

I tried almost everything I could find on the App Store. There was something I didn't like about Spark, but I can't remember what. What I mostly wanted that Outlook had all of were the following:

1. Dark
2. Good swiping customization
3. An easy way to undo a delete
4. No subbing (I could live with a modest one time charge)

I know I'm late to reply to you; apologies. Regarding your points:

1. Spark, as of Nov 2019, does offer Dark Mode support.
2. Spark does offer swiping, although I'm not sure about customization. I'm not sure that Mail does, either(?) Also not sure in what capacity/use case you'd want swiping beyond what's available.
3. Spark has a fairly evident "Undo" button when you've deleted an email, it just takes getting used to.
4. Spark is free.

Not to say it's then end-all Mail client for everyone, but it juggles my Exchange and personal email accounts nicely, has an intuitive interface, and doesn't ride the struggle bus that Mail is now.

Spark is free...and you don’t know what they do with your privacy!

I have experienced a lot of more drain of the battery since this update. Pity...

I've just noticed 13.3.1 is chewing my battery ... its fully charged at night ... I wake up in the morning and the phone is 0%/dead ... my iPad 10.5 retina also goes from 95% to 45% with no usage ... I've checked Settings->Battery ... nothing abnormally highly consuming the battery ... weird though, "SCREEN ON" says 7H52m whereas "SCREEN OFF" says 1H15m ... I wonder how that happens at night during non-usage?

Exactly, do people not learn from the very recent Edison story (2nd time caught with thier hand in the privacy cookie jar too!)?

What is Readdle's business model for Spark. Readdle has 150 employees, if you really think they are paying 150 salaries on a few team subscriptions at $75/year (then subtract the costs to host the free users which are surely 90%+ of users) and a few other few dollars paid apps, I just have to LOL.

They can say all day they dont give data to 3rd parties. I call BS and show your revenue and streams then how you pay 150 people plus your execs who surely make more.

I'm going to have to try again. I know I did, but don't remember the thing I didn't like. Wound up settling on Outlook. I mostly like it to have delete on the right swipe. Right swiping is so much easier to me than left.

I customized the swiping on Spark.

It's hard to believe Mail has gone a few months now with such buggy mail fetching. I am considering switching to another mail client at this point but it's too bad we cannot set a default mail handler to have email links open in a third party client. I have a feeling we will need to wait till iOS 14 for a fix to buggy Mail app.

Or wait until the last version of iOS 13 (that finally fixes the last of the bugs instead of adding new feature / bugs), and then don't upgrade to iOS 14 right away.
