alexferguson91 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi, I currently have an iPad that is way too old to be compatible with fm touch so I'm looking at upgrading. I've seen rumours that there should be a new ipad out this March so I was planning on waiting now for the new one to come out so I don't invest in technology that is instantly out of date and I can then play fm touch on this. I have though seen previous threads which have confirmed that no new tablets would be added to the compatibility list so any new tablets although they may have the correct spec wouldn't technically be compatible. So, my question is would you advise getting a tablet now and being able to play this years fm and if so how many versions can I expect it to last for in the future? Or, wait and get a new version when released and accept I can't play fm until the new release? sorry for the long winded post! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyzer Soze Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 About the first question, I play in a Ipad Mini 3, and the game runs with no problems. I played FMT15, FMT16 and now FMT17 all in the same Ipad and all run the same way, with the same quality. If this means that it will run also FMT18 or even FMT19, i don't know. Perhaps the guys from SI can give some input here. About the second question, only you can answer it. All i can say to help, or not, your decision is that FMT17 is a great game.

alexferguson91 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thanks for the help. That's good that your iPad has lasted 3 versions. My main worry is that purchasing an iPad now would mean that I might only get 2 versions of fm touch out of it rather than waiting and being able to get more. I appreciate there's not really a right answer so the advice is appreciated. Has anyone played touch on a newer tablet that isn't on the compatability list but has good enough specs successfully without issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If it helps, the limitation restricting support for newer tablets only applies to Android. There is no mechanism on the Apple App Store to limit an app to specific iPads. The only limitation is on the supported versions of iOS. Therefore if Apple release a new iPad it should be fine to use for FM touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexferguson91 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Okay thanks for the reply. If that's the case and I'd be able to play the current Fm touch on a new iPad if it's released then I will wait for that and see. I understand this wouldn't be officially listed as compatible by SI though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yes they wouldn't officially list it as compatible as they wouldn't have tested on the device. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakbrown96 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If I was you I'd wait a little while as it sounds like Apple will be launching new iPads sometime this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexferguson91 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thanks guys. I think I'll just wait and see if a new ipad is released March time. If so, I'll get that and try to play this years touch on it. Let's hope apple announce something soon as I'm missing playing FM too much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul33 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Did you buy the new ipad 2017? i have it and want to know if FM Touch 17 works on it as i have asked the question and no replies it's listed in the store for me to buy so assume it works.

ltdamn Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just bought a 12.9 iPad Pro and running FM Touch 17 on it quite nicely. Drains the battery but that is expected. Not one crash to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
