I’m very happy
. Version 3 has been accepted by Apple and is on the App Store. If you like it- visit iTunes and review it!
The biggest change has been crashing. It should now be much more stable. I’m really sorry about the hassle everyone’s had having to keep relaunching to play, so I hope this will put an end to it for you.
I’ve also added a way to change your profile pic (Just tap your pic under your personal profile), a chance to restart your character, more ways to help you spread your circle rune, and more community features including Twitter support and video support. Small fixes include no rotating in classes and training, and faster loading.
Any comments, please let me know at personal.sara.lewis@gmail.com. And don’t forget the Top 25 Campaign- any way you can help will earn gold and your rune on the blog for all to join!
Update
There are some bugs with v3. First, let me say I’m so so sorry about this, I know how annoying it is. The two bugs I’ve identified are the following- replying to a message crashes the app, and mind training has the answers blacked out. These only occur for users running the 3.0 software update. I missed these because I can only afford one iPhone, and I keep it on 2.0 because most players also use 2.0. But I will have both these bugs fixed and submitted to Apple tomorrow, so v4 should be available as soon as possible. Once again, I’m really sorry about this, and if you spot any more bugs, please please tell me at personal.sara.lewis@gmail.com

Other than the v3 issues noted above I’ve been having a problem with changing my profile image. I can change it, and it stays changed for the session – but when I exit the application and open it again later – it’s always back to the original photo that was put up at account creation.
Keep up the good work!

Really love the game & the new version is great tho was hoping that somethings might have changed bout the need to have a certain amount of people in your circle for certain spells. Personally I like having a smaller circle that I have more contact with. You know only joining cause you want to not cause you have to. Cheers Sara love love love the app.
July 27, 2009 at 1:13 am
I agree

I also agree

Since the new update the app has been crashing a lot and freezing up my iPod. It usually only happens when I try and start a dual. I never had this problem before the update, and the only way I can unfreeze my iPod is to hook it up to my pc.
July 25, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Dam she said something about the training one one lol
July 25, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Hey, love this app, haven’t been experiencing much crashing on my iPod touch! Something I noticed was that no matter what score I got in either reflexes, strength or mind, it was always maxed out when I went back to the ‘training’ button. Other than that, working well!
Great job and I was wondering when the gold apps will be available? That was a good idea
July 25, 2009 at 5:41 am
Hey I love this game but I along with many other players have a problem with the requirement of 3000 minimum for level 7 spells. I hope to see this problem changed:) love this game!!
July 24, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Every time I reply to a message sent to me magicwars crashes since newest update. I love the game and the chats with others, but the constant crashing is dang annyoing.
July 24, 2009 at 9:13 pm
They have that patched for v4
July 24, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I was giving the overall game some thought. I think something that would a lot is more satisfying dual results. Instead of just won or lost, a spell result effect is used “Bushi is flung into the lake, you win”, “you melt Draco with acid jet” etc.
Great game of course, just thinking with my fingers
July 24, 2009 at 4:14 am
Mmm 3.0 3gs crash after message send
July 24, 2009 at 1:59 am
If I have to get a new iPod will I have to restart the game over? My iPod is broken and I would hate to have to start from the begining!
July 24, 2009 at 7:28 am
I’m sorry, but yes. I haven’t yet added a feature to switch between devices
July 23, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Spell practice mode is broken, it will keep giving you the same first score after each try unless you exit back out to spell lust and reselect.
July 23, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Crash upon iPhone contact access (3.0, 3gs), crash upon fb connect access when serching for other players.
Please consider adding a screen rotation lock.
July 23, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Thanks Griffon- bug reports much appreciated, rotation lock a great idea too
July 24, 2009 at 7:43 am
Just a quick suggestion, but since you are constrained on version/device testing, why not take some community volunteers for light QA? That worked out pretty well for wordpress and their iphone app. That way you know you will have reasonable solid code submits across versions/devices.
Great game and good work despite the hicups.
July 23, 2009 at 5:09 am
I just wanted to make a suggestion that when you are dueling someone, there should be an easy way to see if that person is already in your circle so you don’t invite them again. Also it would be easier to grow your circle larger if you could easily see the people who are and aren’t in your circle.
July 22, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Crashing has not been fixed crashes now after every reply to messages really annoying
July 22, 2009 at 9:57 pm
also please add me to your circle. 2693387

I recently purchased the 1.99 app for 10000 gold and I never recieved any of it, but I did lose a 1.99 from my itunes acount. can anyone help me with this problem?
July 22, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I absolutely can help you with this. Can you email me at personal.sara.lewis@gmail.com with:
1) Your wizard name and circle rune
2) A screenshot of your iPhone with the Gold App installed (I need to see the icon)
3) A description of what happened when you first ran the app
The gold apps have not yet been approved by Apple as far as I know, so I’m not sure how you were able to buy one. Nevertheless, if you could, you should still receive your gold!

I have this version and it stills crashing on my iPod, now is even worse!! All the other changes are fine…
but I’m not happy yet cause of the crashes
July 22, 2009 at 3:07 pm
And the answers are black out when training for brain questions.
July 22, 2009 at 3:03 pm
I’m happy for the new version to but it’s glitchy like I can’t progress my spell.
July 22, 2009 at 4:24 pm
That’s very odd, I haven’t been having this problem.
July 22, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Yeah I also have issue with training in Mind. It’s all blacked out. Found a way to get around this by tapping an answer. When I do it highlights and can see the answer. If I know the answer is right I lift up my finger. If the answer is wrong then I slide my finger off the answer until it’s unhighlighted and lift up my finger. Then try Answer B and so on.
Circle code 1152239. Add me and Ill add you
July 23, 2009 at 10:27 pm
glad to see it’s not just me that has this happening. kinda freaked me out – “GEEZ, these are MUCH harder!” lol
nice workaround in the meantime, King Aragon.
July 22, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Love the easy add once someone joins my circle. Hate the constant crashing while in messages.
Join my circle 1152239 and Ill join yours!
July 22, 2009 at 10:08 am
Hi, thanks to everyone for reporting the crashing. I can see why I missed it- it only occurs in 3.0. I can only afford one device, and I keep that on 2.0 because most MW users have 2.0. I’ll fix it as soon as possible, and submit the new version to Apple.
I’m really really sorry about this, I know how annoying not being able to reply is

July 22, 2009 at 9:50 am
Also, with regards to circle adding, would it be possible for numbers in a message to be hyperlinked so you can add from the message?
July 22, 2009 at 9:49 am
I’m also having messages crash me out, and the mind training issue mentioned below, so far three questions is my top for blind tapping lol
July 22, 2009 at 8:38 am
I’ve also problems with reponding messages. Everytime I did, the app crashed. I restart my iTouch, but it doesn’t help at all. I hope this can fixed.
July 22, 2009 at 5:46 am
I also started having problems with crashing during responding to messages… Also, when training in Mind, the background is the same color as the words in the answer boxes making it impossible to read the answers. Is anyone else having this problem?
PS – I think this is one of the most fun RPG’s available to the iPhone! Thank you Sara for taking the time and putting such an effort into this!

Oh wow… I have 3.0 software update for itouch and It is not stable AT ALL. It crashes every minute. I dont get it… when you had V2 .. i never had this crashing problem now suddenly it crashes sometimes every 30 seconds.
July 22, 2009 at 3:20 am
Mostly when I go to the message menu
July 22, 2009 at 1:48 am
Alright well I like the update. Much more stable. Could you possibly make a way to change your name in the next update?
I was disappointed to find that this update did little to nothing to simplify the circle rune problem. Sure you added more options to post your rune in different places but, people dont really bother to add you through this method. People don’t really bother to add you this way because .. first you’re a stranger to them.. and second, there are like 50 other people saying add me add me! So, it doesnt really work.. it’s easier sending messages to be honest.
Hopefully there will be a change in circle count requirements in the next update. I can get to 1000… but getting another 2000 people? No way.
