Spark app connection is abysmal and then the remote has issues of its own
i think everyone has the right to be angry for its limited capabilities its a very expensive drone, im sure we would all agree 550 euros for just a selfie drone is a little too much, then they ask extra premium for the an essential accessory like the remote, only to find out the remote has issues too
i have no idea why such a product would release in such state, except to say they actually need this to be tested in the wild, which is all fine except the danger it implies
read this article about the Karma and you will understand how everyone simply beta tests these drones with early buyers:

"Other drone companies have dealt with similar issues without issuing a recall by aggressively chasing down data on the cause of the crash and pushing firmware upgrades, sometimes without customers opting in, that fixed the issue. And hobbyists have come to expect that the lithium-ion batteries used for most consumer camera drones will act up. "Anyone who has flown drones a lot has had similar battery issues," says a drone industry veteran who has worked a both a pilot and inside a major drone manufacturer. "This is the reality of how these devices are powered."
personally i think it's all hopeless since the Spark usess basic Wifi connection, there is no escaping such issues
