I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!

So me and my best friend play teachers together over FaceTime, and I was the teacher. And I had made about 30 PowerPoints to play, but then when I was playing it, it kicked me off and I think that is COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬. So what happened is I was on my like 10th powerpoint and it kicked me off. Then, when I went back onto the app, I saw nearly ALL my PowerPoints gone. I only had 4 PowerPoints because it had deleted 26. 😡😡😡 U should fix this app as soon as u can. Also, GIVE ME MY POWERPOINTS BACK BECAUSE YOU LIKE THEM SO MUCH, THAT U WANT TO TAKE THEM FOR Y O U R S EL F F F F F F F F F!!!!!!!! Anyways, cheerio! 😄
