I couldn't upgrade my iPad because it's the first generation one...Again, would love a non-iOS 6 version; what features of this app depend on iOS 6?

It's a $0-$2 app. It's not worth the effort to support an older generation of iOS. 93% of people have upgraded to iOS6.

The one thing Apple really got right was getting a large percentage of their users upgraded to their latest OS. Hope it goes as well for iOS7.

An entirely fair point, although if the dependencies are relatively limited it's less painful/more feasible to support iOS 5.

My iPad is reaching its retirement age anyway.
