*2026-08-22, version 2.23.0*

### 1/5 — Please LOWER minimum iPad iOS version to 15!

*2025-07-22, version 2.18.0*

Your iPad iOS minimum required version is TOO HIGH. 😭😭😭😭

Please lower it to iOS 15! Many of us have older iOS iPad Mini devices and cannot use the VPL app anymore because your iOS minimum required version is set too high!!!! 😭😭😭😭

### 1/5 — No stay signed in feature
