So I’m picking up an apex classic tomorrow with everything but the brain which I’ll be getting soon. My question is, is there an app I can download to run it or do I have to buy the controller? I really don’t want to spend $100 for apex’s digital controller since I have a tablet I could download an app on to use.

By controller do you mean display? You do not need a display to run an apex classic

I am in the same boat- I picked up a used Classic, and the controller is busted (it got dropped into the water?) and I tried the app- it says that there is a code that you find on the controller to be able to link to it. Sooooooo it seems like we gotta bite the bullet and buy the controller?

No you need fusion app and apex connected to your home network and fusion app will walk you threw the setup process

Yeah that’s what I meant. How do I program it though? Is there an app or do I have to download some software and do it through a computer?
Threw the fusion app or yes the website fusion app if no phone or tablet is available.
so download the app and make an account

I did that, but it says I have to get a code off of the display in order to connect to the system. -- just my experience. Giving the post back now

I am not sure if there's away around it. Since it's a classic. You need the display to see token before you can link it with your account on Fushion. You could borrow the display from a friend.

Wait I’m so confused so what’s the point of the flash utility? I can’t even use that if I don’t have a display right?
