Hello Guys, I got a notice to update my App from .18 to .20. My question is ,is it a MUST or not to update app version? As I can see the App .20 is more for the Mavic features...so nothing new for the spark on .20,or ? Any advice will be welcome . Thanks.

as long as you see things clearly on your spark and no stability issues, use the same old versions...

.20 ruins otg functionality, so if you use otg I would avoid it, but if use WiFi exclusively then it should be ok

Thank you .I got the otg but as long as I do not need it and wifi works fine it will stay out of play. Only issue   i have that when flying I see no map on sidescreen! Do I need cellular I Pad to fly with (have mini I Pad 4 wifi) or can it be other problem?

I have the Spark latest firmware .900
IOS 11.2.1
DJI go 4.1.20

Works fine with OTG.
No issues so far. Flew over 300m. Got ATTI mode once for 10 sec. Could be interference.

Will check with Wi-Fi  tomorrow

Not mandatory, but always a good practice to update to the newest firmware whenever possible.
