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.
