Version 6.0 for iOS has been released

[DaleMac]

Nope, not asking for anything free. I like the great new styles and they are worth every penny, obviously a lot of work went into them. And I'd happily fork out the 5 bucks each for iOS and OSX - if I could use them on both. It's one thing to optimize an app for 7 and above; it's another thing for the latest version to be incompatible. (And, honestly, I put most of this on Apple. Obsolescence seems to be the cornerstone of their business plan.) Until I'm able to afford however many hundreds of dollars for a newer device, I'll just have to stay satisfied with iReal Pro 5.1.

not only Apple; we have had to drop support for older Android devices also. Lack of memory, speed of older OSs and processors make it difficult (perhaps impossible) to add many of the new features. Some of the bigger software companies with more resources can spend time supporting older devices but we are unable to do this, sorry. You might want to check out ebay.

@Dale Mac
The existing style packs (not the new ones) are now included free in the latest version. I was simply asking if users who can't upgrade could at least 'purchase' the 'old' style packs for free now. That seems like a fair request to me.

Yes, they are free for users who cannot upgrade.

Yes, they are free for users who cannot upgrade.

Thanks Massimo, I'm sure a lot of users with older devices will be very happy about that.
How do we get the styles for free? When I go to the store from within the app, all the styles, chord scales and guitar/piano chords are still advertised with a price tag...

My apologies, I hadn't updated the settings in the store correctly.
Try now.

Yes that works perfectly now, thank you Massimo!
I've 'purchased' everything for all my 'old' devices so now at least I have the best possible version of the app that I can have.
I feel sorry that some of your users are being left behind now but understand your situation and of course we won't miss what we've never had!
(I'm still curious to hear the new samples and styles though, maybe they will tempt me enough to go and buy a newer iPhone/iPod......we'll see!)
