I realise it sucks for your device to not be supported any more, but can you see why the cost to Skrittet of the above options might be greater than the benefit?

Also users would very likely still complain that their version of the app was missing new features.Īs a user with an old device you can either use the old version of Skritter, and live with the bugs, get a new device- for example find one used and sell your old one. This is confusing for new users, and again a big development and maintanence hassle. (I'm not sure if Apple even allows this, don't know enough about iOS development to say)Īnother option, which seems to be what you are suggesting, would be to release an "iOS7 Skritter" app and port bug fixes back to the old Skritter. The only way that Skritter could support ancient versions of iOS is to either never use any new features which are added to the OS, which hurts the future of the appĪlternatively they could test for the OS version everywhere before using new OS features- a development, maintanence, and support nightmare which would lead to a much less stable app.

I'm on the software developer's side with this one.
