### 1/5 — Keeps Freezing

*2026-05-01, version 26*

If this Game would actually work i would have given it 5 Stars 
But the fact that its not working is a huge let down 
I open the game and when its supposed to take me to the main screen where one would press play it will say for me to go update and i had just downloaded it so i would close it and re try till it finally opened and I would play it and when i would finish the play instead of it saying how much coins it would give me for completing that play and go to main screen it would just Freeze and other times it would give me the coins and go to main screen and when i was gonna either press play again or try to do the characters make up or or dress it up i could not do it cause again it was frozen!
So ya i just deleted the game and i have other games that work perfectly great so i know for a fact its not my tablet 
And its just plainly disappointing cause i seen so many great reviews on this game and just a few not good ones but not for the the same reason as my complaint so i didn’t think it would happen with me but i guess it did so im just deleting this game
