Almost 10 years of Spark…
And Last month I had to cancel my subscription and today I installed Mac OS 27 public beta and went back to Apple Mail.
The new “AI-powered” version completely broke it: Clear regression in UX and UI, Catastrophic stability (Mac + iOS), Constant lag, freezes, emails taking 1-2 minutes to open, AI forced everywhere (even when disabled) + aggressive paywalls.
It genuinely feels like the whole team was fired and replaced by a single developer with a Claude Max subscription and a checklist that just says “add AI everywhere.”
Shame. It used to be an excellent client. Now it’s just bad…
