App Store needs Update
I would like to recommend that whenever is patch is made that it is also updated on the iOS App Store. Currently it shows last update was 1 year ago. Even though the game is self-updated in the app. The App Store shows the game as basically dead. Which prevents I’m sure many from not even trying the game. For example I do not play games that haven’t had a word from the devs in 6+ months. So I would suggest that each patch you do even if it’s a 1kb patch (for the actual client), to update the history page on the App Store. Also be able to view the patch notes each update from the App Store.
I can see that on the google play store it is updated on the page with each patch. I understand Apple approval process is slower and if just wanted to do a new “update” patch to the store page once a month. Just something to make it look active and still in production game :)
Just overall this would make the game appear to be in active development to those discovering it for the first time on the store.

Actually, no, that's just coincidence. We just have recently been updating the Play Store installation APKs, so it looks that way. The iOS and Play Store pages get about the same frequency of "updates".
Also, we don't always have time to add in whatever new "requirement du jour" Apple has added in.. like.. "hey, we decided to add cameras that use space on the display, you should change your UX model to work around some of the display now being a camera". We have to be careful how we spend our limited development resources.
So, we usually come "back through" every year or two and do an update against the latest iOS changes and the like. The same is roughly true on the Google side as well.
But, I agree, we should work on updating them more regularly, at least the descriptions. The Apple approval process is a big hassle though.

The game is already in the Mac App Store.

Yeah I know Apple can be nightmare with anything on the App Store. Just thought that new people coming across the game since it is one of the first few when search MMO but then see not been updated in a year. They will assume game is dead.
Couldn’t get it to come up when I search it for some reason. That direct link works though. Thanks.
