Status: Official
We no longer ship iPhone and iPad apps via the Apple App Store, having ceased shipping them in early 2021. We had a great run from 2009 to 2021.
Changes Apple kept making meant the total cost of revenue of our portfolio of apps tipped to a point where it exceeded revenue. We could not subsidise these any further.
Many of our apps continued working in later releases of iOS, iPadOS and even Apple Silicon macOS for years afterwards, depending on when they were last updated in the App Store by us. The apps survive the Os update process on the devices they are installed on.
However, when you move to a new device, these apps cannot be downloaded again from Apple. To retain your apps on new devices, back up your iOS or iPadOS device to a Mac via the local backup feature, then restore the backup to the new device. Apple iCloud backups do not appear to work the same way.
For those installed on Mac, the migration process directly from old to new Mac does retain them.
By the time Apple released iOS and iPadOS 26 to the public in September 2025, we no longer had any apps of our own on an iPhone or iPad, having replaced our own devices over that period and not followed this recommended process. We can no longer comment on which apps might be working on which Os for these devices.
What we can report on is the last remaining apps we know kind of work in macOS Tahoe as of August 2026. These being:
- 2StrokeOil
- AngularSep
- AstroToolKit
- BeMine
- FlyWheelCalc
- FSpaceDice
- Meteors
- NukeCalc
- PlanetPosition
- PlanetTemp
- RocketTrvTime
- SpinHabitat
We expect those still running under Tahoe are likely to still be functional on devices with iOS and iPadOS 26 installed.
It appears none of our ebook apps continues to work, and many of the standalone generators and calculators don’t. Over time, as the code signing certificates expire, they will cease functioning. FSpaceDice is the app that contains all the generators and calculators. If you have that, it was one of the last ones to be updated, so it should last the longest.
For a few years, we had many of these tools available as web apps on fspacerpg.com until we tightened security. In August 2026, fspacerpg.com was decommissioned, and this site replaced it. We are currently reviewing how to deliver these missing tools back in some way that is useful for Apple device users.
No further support is being offered for our iPhone and iPad apps. We will update this status page with checks under newer macOS versions of the apps above.
