[QUOTE="Coconut Pete, post: 40067, member: 7045"] Here is another way to look at it. The Go4 app controls the spark. Now in order for the app to send and receive "directions" to and from the Spark there needs to be a way to connect the two. That is done through your WiFi. That WiFi can be connected to various other "devices" (e.g. Internet connections, printers, thermostats, etc.) just like a hair dryer can be connected to different receptacles in your house (e.g. bathroom, bedroom, etc.). In order to connect your WiFi to the Spark so the app can control it I go into "Settings" on my ipad (or smartphone) select the WiFi tab and turn off whatever it is currently connected to (likely my home internet) and select from the list of devices (listed on the screen below the active connection) the one for the spark. It usually starts with "RC" . Now the controller is connected to the spark and the Go4 app can control it. Now every so often when you go through this process there will be an update to something. The app will tell you this on the screen. NOW you need to connect the controller WiFi to the internet so it can download the update for the app, or spark, or battery or whatever. After the update is complete you will need to once again turn off the connection to the internet (through settings) and select and connect to the spark (listed with the name beginning with RC). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
