Honestly I can't think of any other app that with no prior notice pulled support from a large chunk of its users (those on iOS 6 in this case).
Yes I have an iPhone 4 and no, I don't want to upgrade to 7 for an obvious variety of reasons - and most certainly not because an app forces me to. What I find absolutely mind-boggling is that we're talking here about an offline app, that worked very well thank you on iOS 6 before. Yes, I did contact Fleksy support and they simply told me that Fleksy version 1.9 (the last iOS 6 working version) is not supported anymore. As if they had to! Yes, there are apps that only work on iOS 7 these days. But they either started on iOS 7, or they have a backend that no longer supports the iOS 6 version. As far as I understand, the technology behind Fleksy is built-in inside the app and does not require online presence (heck, if a typing app requires you to be connected to their servers, then something is fishy big time). So in short I find no excusable justification to what Fleksy did. They're lucky their service is not high profile and they don't affect a real lot of paying users. Just think the backlash that, say, Apple would get if suddenly iTunes would no longer start on OS X pre-Mavericks, and would give you no option but to upgrade, even on a 2007 laptop. Luckily for them Fleksy is no Apple. But at this rate, I don't see them even turning profitable. What a shame when it's not the technology that buries you, but poor customer support. /end of rant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
