I am not surprised. This past week I have been doing the exercise, again, of checking what 32bit apps I still have. I first did this in May 2018 and sent emails to those relevant developers. I only heard back from one,
eccam for my Card Reader. they replied; "will update before long to ensure it remains compatible.

" I am still waiting for the update.

Though since then they have updated their iGlasses app. The ones I did not hear back from their App's have gone to the App graveyard or I'm still awaiting and for those I will search for alternatives.
I have also been doing the exercise of going through ALL my App's to ensure I have all the relevant licencing keys and login information as when the 64bit only macOS10.15 Catalina does arrive later this year I will be doing a complete iMac erase and format with a fresh install to clear out all the old 32bit flotsam and jetsam and all other collected detritus. It has been five years since I did this and then it was because I upgraded to a new iMac in February 2014 using Migration Assistant. This will be a complete virgin install, so only; Documents, Music, Movies etc. In other words NOT a Migration Assistant reinstall. I want Catalina to start off as pristine as possible.

How to Find and View All 32-Bit Apps on a MacThe simplest way to see all 32-bit applications (and 64-bit apps) on a Mac is to use System Information
1 - Hold down the OPTION / ALT key on your keyboard, then pull down the Apple menu
2 - Choose “System Information” from the top of the Apple menu list
3 - In the System Information app, scroll down the left-side menu and look under “Software” and choose “Applications”
4 - It may take a few moments for it to load and populate the right hand upper panel, especially if you have a ton of apps.
5 - Look for the “64-bit (Intel)” option in the column header, and click on that to sort the column by 64-bit
6- Every app that says “No” is 32-bit, every app that says “Yes” is 64-bit
