I like the game but it spontaneously shuts down and erases the entire game randomly

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2024-11-13, version 4.1*

### 2/5 — Does not work

*2024-01-12, version 4.1*

I paid for this app and it won’t even work. As soon as I touch it it blanks out and closes.

### 1/5 — Avoid. Does Not Work.

*2023-11-16, version 4.1*

I just touch the grid and the game quits. I thought it was because I had the free version so I purchased it. The purchased version of this game is identical to the free version - including the quitting. So I have just wasted my money.
