Good game but….

This is a really good game. I’ve enjoyed it. But it glitches and kicks you out of the game. Freezes and glitches where everyone’s bids are going haywire or continually popping up on the screen so you can’t bid or play. If all that w as fixed I’d be a big fan. Even though those things happen. I do get a few good games in daily.
