:warning: Note: if you downgraded the firmware, FreeFlight Pro might be bothering you with "UPDATE REQUIRED - Your device needs to be updated". This is because the Firmware update has been downloaded to the iOS device earlier using the App itself. The only way to get rid of this message is by clearing the App's data container.
Android: Settings → Apps → FreeFlight Pro → Storage → Clear Data
iOS: removing and reinstalling the App seems to be the easiest way...
