Sucks donkey balls

Was great till it wasn’t it. Got most of my guns legendary plus legendary characters and then all of a sudden it reset back to square one. So I deleted it and reinstalled it and it gave everything back. Then later on it reset again I wrote support for help and guess what they didn’t even contacted me. So ya it sucks
