### 5/5 — Functionality of the app

*2026-07-23, version 1.9.1*

The app worked well way before, now, the app is obviously experiencing code rot and is not letting players advance to the other levels but instead kicking them out the app. It brought back great memories and it’s sad to see a game in a state like this.
