We understand where you're coming from, but as Spharv2 noted, Sebastian is working on two things right now: A large update to FHM and iOOTP 2014. Some of the things being done for iOOTP 2014, such as Retina support, will be included in an update for iOOTP 2013.

I'm sorry there isn't more information than that right now, but it would be good to know what showstopping bugs are preventing people from playing the game. Yes, we know there are places where iOOTP 2013 could be improved, but are there issues that are stopping you from playing the game?

When someone says they carry an iPhone around just to play the game (and I know how you feel; I love to sit in my bed at night and play iOOTP on my iPad), then I feel like they're getting their money's worth out of the game, and there aren't any issues stopping them from having fun.

We're also very sorry there weren't more updates to iOOTP 2013 last year. We know people expected them, since the 2012 and 2011 versions were updated a few times each, but, again, FHM threw a wrench in those plans. We're a tiny company that is always bursting at the seams trying to squeeze as much as we can out of a few people - we're not like EA, who could grab a programmer from one team and throw them onto another one to help out, or who could add some headcount and hire a few people to get something done.

All we can ask is that you bear with us during these growing pains. Thanks.
