Frankly, I haven't had any issues, except one weekend at a drone event and there was lots of interference,-- so I made up my mind to do the hack, so when I get in areas of high interference, there will be more channels available. It is also nice in that you can start getting interference in certain areas even after you take off and fly out 500 feet or so-- it is just add insurance and if kept on Auto, the app should chose the best channel. or you can find several together that are free and set the one in the middle manually.
