HELP PLEASE ### 4/5 — Speichern nicht möglich *2024-07-15* Das Spiel gefällt mir, der Spielstand wird aber nicht gespeichert. Immer wieder bei Level eins anzufangen, das kann nicht das gewollte Spielerlebnis sein. Wenn der Entwickler das Speicher Problem behebt, dann wird die Bewertung angepasst. Ansonsten gefällt mir das Spiel sehr gut. iPhone 15 Pro Max / iOS 17.4.1 Edit.: Speichern nach mehreren Updates jetzt möglich, Bewertung angepasst **Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback! Der Bug sollte mit dem letzten Update behoben sein. ### 4/5 — Speichert jetzt wieder *2024-07-03* Ich hatte das Spiel bereits vor vielen Jahren gekauft fürs iPhone. Daher und weil ich gern gute Entwickler supporte habe ich es erneut fürs iPad Pro (17.4.1) gekauft. **Developer response:** Danke für die Unterstützung! iCloud sollte jetzt funktionieren... ### 1/5 — Update for iCloud ? *2024-06-27, version 2.0.3* 🤬🤬🤬 still not good . ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2024-04-25, version 2.0.2* I remembered really enjoying this game when I first played it a few years ago. I just recently played through it again and I am happy to report I liked just as much the second time around! Later levels manage to be quite challenging without becoming convoluted or illogical. The only complaint I have about it is that, when I get to the end, I want more. So I spend a bunch of time searching for something similar. Alas, so far I haven’t found anything else quite like it. ### 1/5 — Didn’t save *2024-04-09, version 2.0.2* I completed several levels but when I returned to the game later, it didn’t save my progress. Shame as I was enjoying it :( ### 2/5 — Spielstand wird nicht gespeichert *2024-01-16* Das Spiel ist eigentlich gelungen und macht Spaß, aber es ist nicht alltagstauglich. Das Spiel speichert nicht automatisch, wie weit man gekommen ist, so dass man jedes Mal wieder von vorne beginnen muss. Die direkte Levelauswahl funktioniert nicht. Eine Möglichkeit, den Spielstand manuell zu speichern, habe ich nicht gefunden. Letztlich ist hinausgeschmissenes Geld. **Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback! Das Spiel hatte einen Bug im Zusammenspiel mit iCloud, der leider bei uns nicht auftrat - im letzten Update sollte er aber behoben sein. ### 3/5 — Buen juego pero no me guarda el progreso. *2023-12-26, version 2.0.2* Acabé el recorrido en otro IPad pero en este no me guarda el progreso y tengo que volver a empezar cada vez. Algo no funciona correctamente . ### 1/5 — Does not save *2023-12-21, version 2.0.2* I need to begin at level 1 every time I exit the game. Tested on iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPad Pro 1st Gen. ### 2/5 — Non mi salva i livelli giocati *2023-08-15, version 2.0.2* Il gioco è bellissimo, ci ho giocato la prima volta tanto tempo fa su iPhone4 E ritrovarlo ora è stato un tuffo nel passato MA c’è qualcosa che non va. Sono tre volte che lo ricomincio da capo. Ogni volta che chiudo l’applicazione mi fa ricominciare tutto da capo, in pratica non salva i livelli giocati. È un peccato perché l’app c’è solo a pagamento ed un simile problema non è carino… ## Frequently asked questions about About Love and Hate ### What is About Love and Hate?
