IMPORTANT IPAD APP RELEASE UPDATE
We recently released an update to the iPad scoring app, that we have now discovered will not work with older iPads still running iOS 12.
Since this was discovered, we have reset the App Store to not allow these older iPads to install this version. This does not mean they will not work, it just means that those older iPads can no longer use the latest version and updates.
For those using iOS 13 or newer, no action is required.
For those using an older iPad with iOS 12 the solution is to delete the app and then reinstall it. This way, a previous working version for your system (iOS 12) will be installed.
Please be aware that deleting the app will remove all games, completed or active from your iPad.
Best regards,
The GameSheet Team
