Oh, and it’s also cross-platform, now, too. A bit like Brain.fm’s uncanny ability to make you more productive by piping sounds into your ears, Spark 3 has been designed to focus your attention only on what matters when it matters.

This is why Spark 3 is built around something called ‘Intentional Productivity’. The solution to this lies in proactive limiting the distractions, Tyagulsky explained. My email inbox has always played too big a role in my day, and I’ll often find myself breaking away from an important production task just to see who wants me. “We have more wants and needs than we have the capacity to fulfil,” he said.

Tyagulsky explained that the inspiration for Spark’s latest reimagining came from the information overload most of us are contending with these days. This resulted in a development path for Spark that saw the introduction of the smart inbox, intuitive search, and a bunch of collaboration features. A new approach to productivity and emailĭuring a press briefing, Readdle co-founder, Alex Tyagulsky, revealed that the goal for Spark has always been to “make email smart”. The good news is that the email client I’ve used for several years has received one hell of an update, and it has transformed my approach to email. For years, it’s been a mess of hacks, workarounds, stupid reliances, and endless amounts of gaffa tape. The issue has always been the way in which I approach email. This isn’t a reference to my inability to reply or keep on top of incoming messages – I’m actually pretty proficient in that area and pride myself on rarely missing important emails. Note that a $2 per month Yahoo Mail Plus subscription is required to unlock some of the app's best features.Scratch that – I’m absolutely terrible at it. Plus, Yahoo Mail gives users 100GB of space of cloud storage, so you don't have to worry about space, and there's support for third-party cloud storage solutions.

Yahoo Mail can even send you notifications when the emails come from people, so you aren't bothered with newsletters and other unimportant messages. Some other tandout features include Deals View, which notifies you when deal emails are about to expire, and Travel View that displays gate changes, delays, and even cancelations. You can take action on individual messages through intuitive swipe gestures, customize the color and theme to your liking, send GIFs directly in messages, and more. The Yahoo Mail app looks gorgeous with a fresh and clean design that's easy to use and navigate. It not only works wtih outside accounts but it has a ton of features. The Yahoo Mail app is a good contender to consider whether you use Yahoo's mail service or not. Yahoo Mail on iPhone (Image credit: App Store)
