Spike Email 4+

Missing one thing.

I love everything about this app. It will replace my regular email one day, but for now I use it WITH my email. The reason is because there is no option to be able to delete in bigger quantities. Currently you can delete a message and it will give you an option to delete that senders previous emails en masse, but there is no option to choose many different senders to delete at once.

There should be an option to choose several emails you would like to delete, and much like the current method, it can ask you to delete the selected messages, or the bulk quantity of all the previous senders messages. It would be much easier to remove one sender from the bulk quantity I am deleting at the time if for some reason I didn't want to delete all those emails from that sender, go back and delete all the ones I chose, then just choose that one email again and delete that one, than to have to do it all one sender at a time

I have 42,000 emails that need to be deleted and obviously it is too hard to do it one by one. Being able to delete many emails from one sender is a huge upside to this app but being able to choose many different centers and then deleting all their previous emails would really help clear up my inbox

Hi there,

With Spike, you can easily delete messages in bulk from multiple senders and even thousands or messages at a time, in just 1 tap. To select multiple messages, tap on the small ‘Check’ icon (top right) above your messages. This will select all the messages. You can choose if to bulk delete/ archive/ mark as read.

Let us know if this helped you out. We'd love to know how many messages are in your inbox now :) We're happy to explain further - send us a message to chat@spikenow.com and we'll be happy to help you out.

A great people focused email app

Love the priority vs other granularity for notifications. I have been opposed to using email as chat; preferring tools like slack/messages to fill those gaps. This is the first tool to make me reconsider - it makes email feel like texting by removing the extraneous bits and making quick replies.

I have many apps for communications based on the person of the context - and now for people who use email to quickly communicate I have an app for that too. This isn’t a replacement for my email app anymore than slack is a replacement for texting. Normally I turn off all email notifications and process my inbox on an alter schedule - but by using Spike I can now quickly reply to those people who see email more as chat.. in the same way I use wechat, line, Facebook messenger, etc. for those who prefer chat on this platforms. Given the chat like features such as read stays, grouping attachment in the same bubble - is really is just one more chat app for the people who prefer email.

Greatly improves email management

So glad I discovered this app. As much as I liked Spark, Spike's UI is less cultured because it doesn't have the Sent, Trash, Archive, and other folders visible in the left column like most email clients do. And best of all, the Unread section makes it easy to achieve Inbox zero because it only presents unread emails and hides my previously read emails. That means I'm processing emails faster and efficiently. The Priority and Other sections are a good idea, but I prefer the Recent and Unread display. The chat layout of emails also hides cluttered subject lines, and you don't have to open emails in a separate window unless you choose to. I also like the Snooze, Search, Tag, and Pin functions. These features cause me to archive emails more instead of moving them to folders. Spike's Search seems to work, so there's less need to file away emails. And finally, I can't wait to use the group chat feature for a project or ongoing discussion. It works similar to Slack, so it should be useful. My wishes include the ability to create signatures for alias email addresses, add or change avatars of contacts, select event logistics and create an event in the Spike calendar.
