So there you go folks, these are the best iOS mail apps you should download in 2016. Did we miss any? Let us know in the comments section below.
“Spark” by Readdle deserves to be top of this list. Its free and highly customizable. I am a power user and have tried all of the apps above and landed on using Spark exclusively. They are also in development of making it universal so it can be used on the iPad.
