Crashes

I like the game very much. For years I’ve played it daily on both my iPad and iPhone however, as of the 3.0 update, the app crashes after a few seconds of the “Made with Unity” screen. This is very disappointing.

Froze?

Have enjoyed this game for several years without issue. Since the last update (?) it is stuck on the same day/game and won’t update to a new daily game. So disappointed.
