### 2/5 — Massive downgrade

*2026-03-12, version 1.16*

A significant step backwards from the old game. They already had it figured out, how do you screw it up this bad? 
The gameplay feels sluggish, my phone overheats (iPhone 15 pro), there’s no dynamic screen, the menus are clunky. Just an overall mess.

### 1/5 — 17 pro max

Ne fonctionne pas sur 17 pro max

Quizá una actualización sería de gran ayuda para evitar los cierres de la app
