Finally V 1.1.19 or less??? sry fallen if I ask ('cause i don't have my ipod touch with me for a couple of days), anyway the game runs on 4th gen no??

[fallen]

Slide87 - due to the review, it is a slightly older version, but it is very stable on iOS devices. No crashes yet! It has the same basic content, but a few differences in content bugs that aren't yet cleaned up in and around Oskahold. You should be great on your 4th gen iPod Touch.

Congratulations are in order, fallen and Cory Trese. Cool to see you guys doubling the effective market

[fallen]

If you are an iOS user, we'd love you to leave a review on the game! We are still at that infant stage where we don't have enough ratings to even -get- a star rating shown on the App Store!

I have also just added the Google +1 button for the iTunes page for Heroes of Steel to the Recommend Trese Brothers Games page! Hope you all will give it a +1!

Fired up an old beater iPhone today. You don't support iOS 4.2.1? Bummer.

I am sorry that your device is still running version 4.x, that is a huge bummer. You should upgrade.

iOS version 4.x is on less than 1% of 1% of Apple devices that are connect to iTunes -- and for good reason -- it has many serious security and privacy defects that Apple fixed in later releases.

We support the latest two release of iOS, version 6 and version 7 and any iOS device that can run them (which is, according to Apple, every device they have ever made.)

I am sorry to tell you, Cory, but my wife's original Ipad only goes up to iOS version 5. So someone is lying to you.

That would be Apple's developer documentation, I suppose. I doubt it's really a lie, just a specific version of the truth.

Apple is focused on helping developers create and distribute applications to their current devices and OS. Makes sense, that is where Apple is themselves focused.

I will investigate if it is possible to support iOS version 5. I'm not sure it is, just due to OS bugs in that release (and issues with the Apple XCode development tool and iOS 5.)

We're no longer supporting iOS 5 on iST either due to bugs and low star reviews from iOS 5 users.

With only two people working on the games, we cannot struggle too much for the last 5% and instead intend to focus on the 95% we can reach.

Sorry for posting incorrect information.

Thank you for the clarification, Swami. I appreciate the feedback and information.

Cory Trese I really am not requesting support for iOS 5 for my family, just correcting a statement where I saw error. My wife is TOTALLY uninterested in any of these types of games.

Oh, I wasn't thinking you were. However, you pointed out the error what I had read and I started doing some research.

Android fragmentation is a terrible scourge, and it turns out Apple has a bit of a fragmentation issue as well -- they don't like to talk about it as much tho.

Cool beans.
