If you’re experiencing problems adding a Google account to Spark, please follow these steps.
We are constantly updating Spark and improving its stability and performance. It’s better to have the newest version to be certain Spark works the best.
To check if you have the latest version of Spark, open the App Store > Updates or Google Play > Menu > My apps & games. If there is an update for Spark, install it.
If you have generated an app-specific password, please note you need to enter the standard password from your email account. You don’t need to submit an app-specific password in Spark.
If you have two-step verification enabled, you need to enter an additional verification code after submitting your password.
Some organizations enable a firewall to prevent access to certain websites from their networks. Ask the administrator of your network if the access to Gmail and Spark (as the third-party email application) is allowed.
Alternatively, you can try to connect your Gmail account using a different network.
Note: If you live in China, you may have issues with connecting to a Google account due to the firewall enabled in your country. Our team is working on a solution to make Spark available for you.
We can’t guarantee Spark will work properly with a VPN enabled. The quality of the performance via VPN solely relies on the servers of the VPN network.
Go to the Gmail webpage and enter your email and password to sign in. If you can sign into your account in a browser, try to do it again in Spark.
If none of the steps described above have worked for you, we are happy to help you personally.
