DJI Go? DJI Go4? DJI Assistant?

[prowordsmith]

Okay, I am confused. I have a new Mavic Pro. Working on "ground school" right now as well as getting all the software/firmware/etc. set up. I am using an Acer 10.1 tablet that's an Android device.
Here's my problem: Do I need to have DJI Go or DJI Go4? Also, do I need DJI Assistant? What I've read lately is that Assistant isn't really needed because everything you can do through that app is doable with the Go app.
Help out an "old guy" here,please!

Do I need to have DJI Go or DJI Go4?

DJI GO 4

What I've read lately is that Assistant isn't really needed because everything you can do through that app is doable with the Go app.

You can use the DJI Assistant 2 app to download the internal DAT flight logs, update the flight logs to DJI, calibrate the sensors, install firmware, or run the simulator. If needed, you can download it from the Mavic downloads page.

Thanks for the response...BUT...I was asking if Assistant is necessary. Can't Go do the same things?
I ask because the Assistant app cannot be opened on my Acer Android pad. And as far as Go4 it concerned, it seems to me that it does NOT cover the Mavic Pro.
Sorry to be reiterating but my question was not really answered.
I do appreciate all help, however.

In DJI GO, you can also run the flight simulator and install firmware. The other items are only available in the DJI Assistant 2 app.

Is there an Assistant 2 that is compatible with Android-based units?

No. The DJI Assistant 2 app is only available for Windows and Mac computers.
