Are there any plans to update the iOS version to support the iPhone X screen size? I've spent many hours playing on my iPhone 6 and have since upgraded, but it's not quite the same with the letterboxing. Thanks for your consideration!

As you can see the left and right sides are black because the game does not scale to use the full screen width. It also is not losing a few pixels on the lower part of the screen because of the home bar.

Just out of curiosity, how does the iPhone X feel as a hand-held device? Side-stepping the current awkward scale issue.

With so many different device shapes and sizes, it's pretty tricky to make games scale with them correctly. Diverse technology, diverse problems.

As a stand-alone device it feels great in the hand. The build quality is phenomenal; it’s got a weight that feels right without being burdensome; and the screen quality is crisp and has (IMHO) accurate color calibration. The notch is barely noticeable after a few minutes of using it, so that’s never really been an issue for me. The software is smooth and zippy regardless of the app I throw at it. The only thing that’s difficult is trying to use the device with one hand, which is an issue with most larger screen sizes. Most of the apps I use regularly already support the screen, while a handful don’t.

As for it being difficult to scale the app to the multiple screen sizes- I completely understand the complexity. I was hoping that it wouldn’t be too difficult if it’s already been solved for Android, given the variety of screen sizes needed to be supported there. Regardless, I appreciate the team’s consideration of this request and hope to enjoy the game on 100% of the screen.
