[QUOTE="Mike Fischer, post: 42947, member: 5219"] I too am an Android smartphone (Pixel) and tablet (Asus) user. I would much prefer to use an Android device to fly my Spark but the available software both from DJI and third parties is typical an underwhelming experience. So I bought a used iPad mini 4 cellular (just for the GPS chip, seriously, Apple!). This combination overall works quite well. The iPad mini 4 is the perfect size yet Apple likely won't be making any new minis. I have also looked for used iPhone Plus model but they are still a bit pricey in the used market. I do not need or want a cellular capable iPhone. However, truth be told, Go works better on an iDevice vs. Android. And I do use Autopilot which is only published for iDevices. The mini is dedicated to my Spark. Yes, I wish there was better support for Android. But for now, flying with an iDevice is the least frustrating way to go. [/QUOTE]
