### 1/5 — Does not run on 9.2.1

*2016-02-04*

Love the book, but it doesn’t run on IOS 9.2.1

**Developer response:** Thanks, we're glad to hear you love the book. It should run on iOS 9.2.1. Do you maybe have an iPad and holding it in portrait/vertical mode? If so, there is a known bug, which will be released very shortly, that will fix this (april 2017). Hope that works better for you.
