Doesnโ€™t work anymore on IPads

I opened it and it was just a light blue screen for ten minutes and nothing happened I deleted it restarted the IPad and downloaded it again and it still doesnโ€™t work.

Frustrating

Itโ€™s fun to build your city but there are so many quests that it is hard to keep up. And then a tornado or fire or storm comes and wrecks it. Thatโ€™s not fun for me so I deleted the game.
