The spark does not show up in this app. My phone's Bluetooth sees it through the phone's settings. No issue with the phone as I connect through Bluetooth with my bose headphones, and other Bluetooth products. It's an issue only with this product. A waste of money. Very disappointed.

Tried too many times to get the time lapse to work. It's a hit or miss. They shipped me a second item but the experience was the same. Tried the android app from two different phones with two different Nikon models. The only cinsistent result is nothing works.
