What do you like best about Spike?

The fact that I could add an email account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

I needed to pay to try all features out, but then I realised that Spike missed some critical features so I emailed them within 24 hours of my subscription asking to cancel my subscription. But they said they can't refund the money and I had to read their policy. So I warn everyone to watch out for Spikes money tricks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a unibox and they solved that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

Ease of use and the new "Maggic Message", love it.

Certainly been struggling with multiple other apps but none of them suits the requirement while maintaining the one of the best UI of Spike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

Should have an option to select folder/tags to be part of Priority List

Could be better in handling account password changes, as currently we need to delist all the accounts added to spike only then we could add back the primary which is bit combursome task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the Major hinderence I had was to find an which intergrates well with Gmail in specific, and so far none of the other apps come closure to spike when it comes to integration with Gmail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

Searching for an email client that puts the focus back on what truly matters and leaves spam behind? Say hello to Spike.

I've been exploring this app for several weeks and felt compelled to share my excitement about this transformative tool. Spike has revolutionized how I manage my multiple email accounts, making it incredibly straightforward to keep track of essential threads, updates, and communications.

Spike seamlessly amalgamates various email accounts into a single, intuitive interface that mimics a standard messaging app. You can categorize messages by sender or subject, fasten crucial threads to the apex of your inbox, and prioritize messages as per your needs.

Collaboration with Spike is effortless, thanks to features such as group creation, shared notes, and task lists. The app also boasts cutting-edge functionalities like scheduling and retracting messages. Moreover, Spike synchronizes all your calendars, presenting a unified hub for all your events, simplifying the task of organizing your schedule.

Experience Spike for yourself and say goodbye to the outdated process of juggling multiple mailboxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

One missing piece of functionality is forwarding an entire email thread. But I'm certain the Spike team is working to implement this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

Spike is by far the best email app I have ever had, it makes your emails so simpler by making it look like a WhatsApp chat interface or any other chat app. It has made receiving and sending emails more like chatting with someone. I can receive and send emails without the traditional email apps with boring interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

There aren't any major things I dislike about Spike but once I signed up for it I started getting a lot of spam mails in my inbox, which bothers me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

spike solves the problem of sending and receiving emails and makes it more like chatting. And now I can never forget to attach files while sending emails to clients like I used to do before. Now it is more like talking to clients on a chat app rather than old fashioned emails. It also solves the problem of scattered emails all around my gmail app in primary, in spam, and in promotions rather organizing it in a more simplistic way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

Have you ever gotten lost in a conversation on social media? The dialogue just flows as you enjoy the interaction. Why should responding to your emails be any different? Spike turns your boring email interface (sometimes digitally the equivalent of staring at a blank page) into an interactive, engaging, easy-to-follow conversation, just like your favorite social media apps! Its features include searchable content—literally anything, even images and keywords in documents. It also has in-app calling and team collaboration features. The best part is that in addition to the app's desktop version, you can integrate all your current emails into the app to experience all these benefits! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

Sometimes the app may be unresponsive, which can be a challenge when you have to respond immediately to emails. Additionally, there is a limited amount of storage in the free plan, which can be used up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spike has significant help my email writer's block because of the easy-to-follow layout; like most IM apps, I can pick up right where I left off. It has turned the taskmanaging my email into a joy again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

I used to be a productivity mess. I was constantly switching between different apps to send emails, chat with my team, and collaborate on projects. It was exhausting and inefficient.

Casually, while speaking with a friend he recommended I try Spike... Being able to unify communication to one platform has been a game-changer for me especially as I'm not locked into a specific email provider.

Here are some of the features of Spike that I've found most useful:

Unified inbox

Real-time chat

Built-in video conferencing

Overall, I've been very impressed with Spike. It's a powerful and versatile communication platform that has helped me to be more productive and efficient. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new way to communicate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

Cons:

Some features are still in beta

Not as widely used as other communication platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem that Spike helped me deal with is inefficient communication: I often had to switch between different apps to send emails, chat with my team, and collaborate on projects.

Using Spike helps me quickly and efficiently communicate with my team without having to stop what I'm doing and shift focus. I can smoothly shift between work and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

Truly one of the best app concept I have seen in a long time. It turns email into chat like experience. Makes managing conversation so much easier, managing the inbox also becomes really really easy. I really love the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

Though I love the concept and mobile app is awesome, I would like to see couple of things improve. The user experience of Desktop app is not as good as the mobile app, I have faces few glitches and issues in it, like the reserpine seen feature is hit or miss at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spike is a great client for managing company emails, it has better app compared to other clients like thunderbird ior Outlook. And it is available on desktop and mobile so perfect for my usecase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

As an attorney and veterinarian with ADHD, I have found my Zen zone through Spike's platform. Spike is the single digital container for my Microsoft and Google emails accounts, calendars, tasks, AND notes. I need that one digital container. And I need it to be intuitive to use, because I am too impatient for a steep learning curve. I also need my hub to be visually pleasing but not overwhelming to my eyes because I cannot handle information overload.

Spike's Unified View streamlines the easy to remember categories of starred emails, notes, tasks, and "snoozed" emails (which I love as much as the all of my email accounts and combines them into a Priority Inbox, which I check first). Then I check the Other Inbox for newsletters, shopping, etc. Spike is smarter than I, and I don't mind, because it has quickly learned how to asses what I prioritize. It also has Smart Searches, that makes it easy to keyword search with filters like attached files, priority status, etc, which helps me find the piece of information I'm looking for. I also can "pin" emails to the top that I cannot forget to act on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

Honestly, the only thing I dislike about Spike would be the days when I don't take full advantage of its capabilities- and I can't blame that on Spike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spike solves the problem of communication fragmentation I have as someone with multiple careers, calendars, domains, and tasks. It's my onestop hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spike?

I like that you can sort your mail by person and see all the mail interactions with that person in a conversational view (similar to Whatsapp). I have not seen another email app do this. At first, it was unusual, but now I am so used to it that other mail apps have become all but obsolete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spike?

Spike does not integrate with other apps well, except your calendar app. For instance, it would be nice if a PDF attachment could be opened with Apple's Preview app or Acrobat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spike solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most email applications show the emails in a list format. This method causes me sometimes to miss important emails between all the other emails. I like seeing my emails sorted by the person or subject (Spike can do both interactively). This helps me to deal with real personal emails first. Spike also creates a "Priority" view and an "Other" view, which helps a lot to move all the newsletters and non-priority emails to another list as those emails that deserve attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
