All my progress…gone

Logging on to the game on a new device with the same account reset all my progress. Balls, Lanes, Currencies, gone

Bummer

Been playing off and on for years. Unfortunately, this game has become just one long advertisement now. Even in airplane mode, advertisements will pop up in the middle of a game causing you to constantly lose. It’s now a pay to progress game. Very disappointed, but I’ll continue to play practice because it is/was the best bowling game.

Fun, but

Any chance this game could get further development? More bowling balls more challenges, maybe a daily challenge check list that requires you to play certain games to win??
