so I just discovered 32bit apps don't work anymore, which sucks
but I saw you can see whats not working via the about > applications
but I don't have that, there is no option as if I have no 32bit apps
but I know I do, I have an iPhone X on lastest ios

Flight Control
Bloons 2
Peggle - there is a freemium version so I guess they wont update this
ZombieSmash - this was removed from the appstore ages ago so I know I wont get that updated
Slice it
Tiki Towers
Tiki Towers 2 - both don't get updated so I assume they wont update to 64bit
Dinerdash
Monopoly - there is a freemium version so I guess they wont update this
Uno
Lego HP
Wolfenstein 3D
Tetris
Wally 2
Family guy
Stenches - they updated the trenches game but not this one?

I don't wanna get rid of these since I paid for them but looking at the list I think most wont get updated?

Not sure how you just discovered this since messages have been coming out when you ran them for the last year.
Since Apple hasn't accepted 32 bit apps for years you have a bunch of lousy app developers.

I have noticed some of my apps that were 32bit did update earlier this year and some even a month or so ago so there is still hope.

Some examples of update to 64 bit:
* Cross Court Tennis 2 App (updated: 14th of March '17)
* Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim (updated: 4th of May '17)
* Kinderliedjes #1 (updated 22nd of September '17)
* KoeDoetBoe (updated 20th of September '17)

I did reach out to quite a few developers though via their website/e-mail/twitter that I really want to keep using the app. Unfortunately some like Toucharcade said they simple don't have the budget for it to release a 64bit app, although there might be a web UI version coming.
