Deleting and being anoying; Problems

Deleting-

The app deleted all my projects exept one. I had 14 projects but now I have 3.

It all started when I was happy and I was choosing a project called 'lights' and it waouldn't work so I kept pressing it and then all of my projects deleted exept for one!
I was pretty anoyed about that so I made 2 more projects.

Being anoying-

When I was making another project and I was putting some sound in it to sound like a song, I moved the big chunk that the music was going on to the right, yes, the right, not the left, and the big chunk got deleted!

I was pretty angry with the deleting and I tried to delete the soung notes and it was taking forever so I tried to put them together but then when I tried, they wouldn't work! So when I did them one by one again, they wouldn't work!

That was more then enough to make me not play this game anymore.

Now what you've read in this Being anoying is also happening in Makeblock and Mblock for blockly.

So if you can, PLEASE fix this ASAP. That would be appreasheated.
