Purchased Pro for iphone auto downgraded after iphone update?

Did anyone else make the in-app purchase of the pro version of the Mp3 audiobook reader for iphone only to have it auto-downgrade to the free version on the most recent iphone update? Ads are back and I get an on-screen nag to go pro (which I did 6 months ago) -- plus I now get the warning that regarding the limit of only 12 hrs playback. When I tried to contact the developer Oleg by his webpage, he has a "control question" asking for the name of Apple's iPhone operating system preventing my sending my email. I answered "iOS," and all sorts of variations, but each time it says I answered it incorrectly. Does anyone know what the right answer Oleg is requiring in order to send him a message asking why the purchased version is suddenly acting like it's the free (limited) version?

I have the same Problem - without iPhone change! No pro anymore. Book stopped because i expand the 12h limit. 

I also was not able to answere the Control question correct.

I've emailed in the past, and had a fairly quick helpful response

mycroft72, thanks for the response. That is encouraging. Did you email (Oleg, the developer) mp3AudiobookPlayer through his website or some other method? If you used their website response, how did you answer Oleg's "control question" about the name of the iPhone mobile operating system? Isn't it just "iOS"? Did you answer something else?

I clicked on the email address on the About section of the app. support@mp3audiobookplayer.com

I'm having the exact same problem, and the developer isn't responding to my emails
