Innovative app, and I like the idea. Seems like it could solve a lot of problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Billing is not transparent, tough to make billing changes on your own. And the support team is unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have never felt an email can be built this way, beautiful, inviting, friendly, functional, and smart. Those are the things I have liked about Spike and it was instantly that I asked my team to remove the other email applications they were using and move to spike. I didn't stop there, I reached out to the spike team and their response and desire to connect with me proved me that I made the right choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish the color (the purple one) could be a different color. But still I don't hate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the customizable sorting between Priority email and Other email.
My personal laptop has a 13" screen. The font sizes *seem* significantly larger to me on this display than Apple Mail (which for years had been my go-to email app).
I like the stripping down to the basics making email more like chat/messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm pretty sure I've already had a reply from Spike tech support on this (which I might have to refer back to), but I frequently from one incoming email want to both Reply and Forward it. Given that I'm working in the Subject mode to show only Unread email, I find it a nuisance to both Reply and Forward.
I'm not yet clear if and how I can make the standard font size larger for outgoing email (or change its font style), but I'd like to be able to do that.
Several times, I've accidentally clicked to mark all remaining Unread mail marked Read, couldn't find any way to Undo that (incl. with keyboard shortcuts immediately).
I miss a feature of Apple Mail of being able to quickly access email addresses from Apple Contacts. (I am Mac only, not PC user). For sending to a recipient Spike dosn't yet know about, I often have to copy+paste in an email from Apple Contacts (or from Apple Mail).
I don't see (yet) the ability to quickly "harvest" the name and email address to put into my Apple Contacts/Contact+ as a new contact. I *can* do that easily in Apple Mail. (I have more than 12,000 Contacts in Apple Contacts/Contacts+.) There doesn't seem to be any easy way (yet) to do that from Spike with a new recipient's email.

Spike appears to be a minimalist dream when it comes to being an email client. It works to thread messages together much like instant messaging apps. The UI design is quite elegant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far, I don't really have any dislikes. It appears to do exactly what it should. I have noticed some sluggishness in syncing between gmail when deleting emails in order to clear them out. This is with the Windows desktop client. I can't say this is much of an issue at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything intelligent sorted and easy to find in my main tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price model with one license per email account hurts when you, like me, a consultant, have many clients
The lack of control of my contact list, can´t remove misspelled email adresses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a very complete software for chatting and converting a common email inbox into something more dynamic. The support is excellent and gives a technical visualization that can be worked on. The interface is very good and it's a pleasure to have it. The software has the scope I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm alluding to the fact that the software lacks variability in many of the functions, I consider that there are not very frequent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the unified tab which unifies all my accounts into one inbox Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like a account feature on spike where I log into my account and gain access to all my inboxes just like that, that is a feature I miss. For this to be implemented it would need 2 factor auth otherwise someone could just completely take over someones life with one login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customer relationship management service developed by the spike system allows me to track and configure cloud messaging scheduling, email interaction funding, intuitive chat prioritizations, path analysis upload relationships, electronic payment negotiation reconciliations, collaborative resource concentration segments, proactive chat formations, instant interaction asset regulation, personalized notifications for prioritized users, image download speed, dynamic sales drive text editing collaborations, is originated through the light purple colored, circular format representation with spiral white colored expressions of the system of this data programming.

An image download error occurs within the sprike programming marketing system, due to its base algorithms function not having the necessary resolution encryptions backup position to transform visual content input formats, its document sharing and junk file classification being deficient, due to its unstable content encryption access failing to gather the scalable messaging quality necessary to develop projects, and modify scalable marketing flow conversion shopping lists, make it deficient in a high percentage of this application's data communication position.
