Zynga needs to fix the bugs with this game. It crashes constantly. Just tonight, 6/19/2025, I was trying to log in, and it kept saying, "Error. Please try again." When it does load, instead of my name, it shows a VIP player named Siddarth. I've lost track of how many times this has happened, but it always resets my streak.

update 7/19/26. now it keeps shutting down and erasing games and points I've bought. it has me play the same game over and over but requires points removed each time. really frustrating. I even paid for a boost but it doesnt seem to matter. I'd like my money back, but I doubt that will happen! used to love this game but has gotten too glitchy and now costly!
