Too money focussed

This game has become so money focussed. Always trying to push you to spend cash.

This is only proven more by the fact that I constantly get pop ups with offers on packs to buy, but whenever I hit the cross to close the pop up, it brings up my Apple Pay to buy it, despite me rejecting the offer!! EVERY TIME!

I only play in team games these days. Have lost interest.

And the fact that the ability to swipe the screen down to refresh the page to see your scores update in real time was removed and is still removed, is highly irritating.

Love but always freezes :(

7/10 times I open the app it is frozen and I have to close it out and try again and again. Possibly they will get this fixed. But I love the competition aspect and seeing everyone’s work. I especially like the duels. That’s unique! But pls fix this bug:(
