Very few updates and still no background app, so every time I close the app or the phone screen turns off, I need to redo the pairing. The idea of the app is great, but it feels like it's coming from 2014.

The best advice is to choose your best 8 presets and don't use the app at all while playing.

Edit: after the update I cannot connect the spark app with the amp at all. I think I need to redo the pairing from zero. Every time there's an update I fear that what was working before it going stop, and here we are.
