  • Exactly! I saw the App Store version was ripped of a few features and subscription-based so was a no-no. Hence trying to get it from Panic.

    When I traded in the MBA I had the option of bank transfer or Apple credit and I (foolishly) chose credit because, at the time, my wife was going to trade her iPad and get a new one, so figured the credit would come in handy. She then changed her mind. So at the moment it’s just paying my subscriptions (Apple One, etc.) I guess until it runs out or I buy something.



  • No, we don’t have Apple Cash here in the UK for some reason.

    If I go to the App Store on either my iPhone or Mac and click on my profile pic, I can see I have a balance. Because I selected Apple Store credit when I traded in my Mac it just credited my Apple ID with money.

    If possible I’d like to transfer it out of there, to buy software directly from the respective websites for Swish and Transmit.














  • Thanks, that did the trick. A combination of removing /mobilebasic from the end of the URL and requesting the desktop version of the site opened the full document. Doesn’t really work well on a mobile screen, but in the odd occasions where I need to update a document quickly and on-the-go, this will work. Thanks a lot!






  • I could be misinformed, but this isn’t just limited to Spark as I understand it, I believe a lot (maybe all?) third-party clients do the same thing. They act as an intermediary between you and the server so they can deliver push notifications.

    However, as I understand it, Spark’s privacy policy outlines that they don’t read/scan the contents of your emails, and the use of app-specific passwords rather than your email password ensures they only have access to emails and nothing else.

    Pretty sure others such as Canary, Airmail, Edison, etc. all do/did the same thing, but it was the lack of clarity in Spark’s privacy policy that made them the main target for scrutiny. I think they’ve since cleared that up.

    I could be mistaken, though.
