I found a planner app I really like. When I went to buy it, I found it was only available on iOS 7 or greater. I had also downloaded the Mac version and found the same thing. The developer does not allow for syncing between devices on their light versions either (I'm running iOS 6 and Mountain Lion). I have both lite versions.
I found this article https://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/1...pps-for-users-running-legacy-versions-of-ios/
And an Apple KB
However, when I try to download it in the iPad I'm not given the option to download an older version. I haven't tried the desktop version as it would be more useful to me on the iPad, though using it on a full keyboard would be wonderful when I'm at my desk. Guess I'm afraid I'll be charged and get an app I can't use.
I emailed the developer prior to finding the links, and they tell me that Apple controls the apps therefore its only one version. That article says otherwise to me.
This is the one thing I really dislike about the App Store vs a developer website. The old way, you could almost always get whichever version worked with your hardware, even legacy systems.
Any thoughts? Has that policy gone away?
Thanks so much
