can't play heavy mech defense or hm2 since ios 7

Since the IOS 7 update I've been unable to play these two games, I paid for this game too! This isn't a new issue I've seen a thread as far back as 2013 stating this issueI can't play HM: Defense

When is this going to be fixed or will we be refunded the cost of the app?

iPhone 4S

I haven't waited a year, I only noticed it this month. According to the thread I linked to it is apple who has to make fix the issue not the app maker, and the post date was actually 2 years ago for that thread, so I shouldn't expect apple to actually fix this. This game worked just fine for me until THIS month when my ipod 4 crapped and I got a used 4s iphone (so I could "update" to ios7). Don't get me started on how horrid ios 7 is. I haven't used ios 7 until literally this month as my ipod 4 was fine for what I needed and wouldn't actually "update" beyond ios 6. Once it crapped I figured since some of my old apps, which WORKED FINE ON IOS 6 AND MY IPOD 4, suddenly "NEED" ios 7 to work...bs, another marketing ploy by apple to force you to buy the more expensive product...I figured I'd go with a 4s that could "update" to 7. Updated and now I can't play one of my favorite apps, which I also paid for.


The issue is simple, when making a new game at the screen it asks you to enter a call sign but you can't enter any text in the pop up screen so you can't play...again...the linked thread says it's a known issue and apple is the one at fault and only they can fix it, I'm not a programmer so I don't know...this is the only way I know to contact apple...and it doesn't work apparently.

correction, it must be ios8 then

I originally had an ipod touch 4 which I used up until a month ago when it quit working, I then bought a iphone 4s. My games worked on it until I updated ios to whatever they are running now. I believe it was running ios 5 or 6, I don't usually update ios for this very kind of reason but some of my older apps had stopped working because for some reason though they worked fine on ios6 they now HAD to have the newer ios to run and they hadn't been...I also heard the newer ios solved some battery drain issues. Any way I updated so my other apps would finally work which led to me getting these horrific looking icons AND my favorite game won't play.


I've emailed the company but the only email I could find was from a website that was totally in korean so I don't even know if it will work.
