Two fatal issues I discovered: - the apple store was so biased, even when I typed in "piano tabs", it couldn't find your app in the top 10 results. I had to type in the name of the entire app: "Piano Tabs: Learn & Practice"

Then I attempted to install it and got this: - "This application requires iOS 15.0 or later". This is a deal breaker on so many apps. I don't trust apple enough to change my iOS version. Note: this happened on a pretty recent iphone 7+

You don't trust what?

I'm struggling to imagine why anyone would trust e.g. iOS 10 more then iOS 15.

(And if it's about not trusting new updates, iOS 15 has been out for 2 years now.)

If you don’t trust Apple to maintain your phone why even bother buying a phone from them in the first place?

i didn't buy it. I got it as a hand me down.

I'm not sure what OS you're on, but iOS 13 was about the buggiest OS they ever released. If you're on that, I'd highly recommend upgrading. iOS 14 was pretty solid - but I'd still recommend upgrading

iPhone 7 was released 7 years ago. It's definitely not recent, and I wouldn't expect any app developer to support such an old device.

Ironically, OP can still upgrade their iPhone 7 to iOS 15. Apple claims that 94% of iPhones are on iOS 15 or later.

Yes - it's so difficult to get up the pecking order in the App Store

Unfortunately I won't be able to support older versions - iOS 15 already causes a lot of problems. That said, all devices that ran iOS 13 also run iOS 15
