Hello. Are you still supporting this app on iPad 2? I see that it is not listed on my device as an iPad app, only iPhone. I'm happy that the location setting is working properly, but the date on my iPad version continues to default to Octibet 6. I can set the correct date, but it always reverts to Oct. 6. It does seem to work correctly on my iPhone. Thank you.
