So this app has an interesting concept but from security point of view its very bad. When you are providing access to your email you are allowing the app to collect all the data in your email account. Now, on some accounts I may be ok with it like gmail and msn etc since these service provider companies already collect ant track analytical data about your email (that’s why its free), but not on corporate accounts... that its problem 1. Problem 2 is that there isn’t any apparent way to prevent the load of external images. If true, it is a huge problem as it allows spammers the ability to track you and know when you have opened the email. I like the idea of this app. I would gladly pay money for it to remove the analytical tracking but I am guessing that analytical data is worth much more then what this app can ever generate in revenue on the App Store not to mention they don't have to share analytical revenue with apple but they do have to pay a percentage on all app revenue in the store.

Honestly why'd you guys fix something that wasn't broken? This was my goto personal email app specifically because it showed emails like they were text conversations. Unless im missing something it seems like you guys tried to pack 10 pounds of features into a 5 pound bag. You split the text UI of the email off into actual texting with "groups" WHY are all of you email apps trying to get business people and ITDM's to consider your email app as a solution for a business. I'd be stunned if you were to tell me even a 1/3 of the people using this were using the group chat besides for texting themselves random notes to self... Because I use(d) this for my personal email. I liked the way it interacted. Having a whole new part of your app devoted to "groups" and chats with funny stickers and gifs.. Isn't something I'll use. If anything that just reminds me that I hardly have a social group because I work 60 hour weeks and during that time I will, like it or not, forever be on Outlook. Stop trying to cram enterprise group coordinating with Slack-like funtionality and a calendar all in such a simple app. When did we suddenly decide every personal email app also needed Slack and Basecamp and Skype crammed in? Ugh I hate falling for apps like this. Too young / insecure to know what you're doing right so you do it all wrong instead. Back to Airmail.

I’m not sure what is going on with the app. I downloaded it specifically because it needs less phone permissions, etc etc. This probably would have been a 4-5 star review if it didn’t cause these problems. I noticed after downloading it that my browser was taking forever to load pages, sometimes freezing. I thought it was our internet having issues. Other apps on both devices started acting buggy as well but I had shrugged it off initially as they probably just needed updating. After I got suspicious, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Spike. The problem with the browsers and apps resolved after deleting the program and immediately returned after the program was set up on my devices again. It makes me wonder a little, and my husband said his antivirus software wouldn’t let him download it because of it being a suspicious possible malware program when he tried to download it from the Play store. He does have very strict security settings on the computer, but this is only supposed to be a program for email.
