Hello,

There has been a lot of talk about the Spark amp in here lately and it has me interested.
It sounds like it might be fun and I would like a nice practice amp to use at home. (Like I play anywhere else now) Sad
My questions are:
1. Is the APP for it fairly easy to use? I don't want to get trapped in a program with a 90 degree learning curve.
2. Do you need to buy the amp to download the APP? I wanted to check the APP out to see how user friendly it is but Google wouldn't let me.
I figure maybe you need to register the amp before you can have access to the APP.

Any info would be appreciated. The amp has me very interested. It's the APP to use with it that I am concerned with.
I have an older Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet that I think would be perfect for it.

Thanks for reading this.
Have a good day.
Larry

It is super easy to use. You can download the app before you the amp, but there isn’t much to do with it without the amp

Thanks Bill.
I realize the app is useless without the amp but I wanted to check it out to see how it might work, what it looks like etc.

Actually, you may not be able to see the interface if you can’t connect. Here is what it looks like

.
I finally got the app d/loaded to my phones.
I have two older models stuck in a drawer and I no longer use them.
I have done some snooping in the app and I actually like it. Looks like it may be fun.
The only down side is using a tiny phone screen to navigate through the app.
I did discover that both of my old android tablets versions are too outdated,
which is why it wouldn't let me d/load it and updating the firmware is way out of my knowledge base.
I think I may get a Lenovo tablet specifically for the Spark app.
It has the correct version of Android on it and it is only $89.
and........AND.......I am getting too old for this. My head hurts.... Confused
