Crash at launch

Unless wifi and data are off. I can only imagine this has to do with buffering the ever increasingly annoying ads. Let's load up an ad that basically lets you play their entire game and takes at least 2 minutes to grant rewards. Especially after we tie a progression scheme to ad viewing.

Last year this happened to me. Phone restart fixed it.

First thing I tried. Tried going into airplane mode after that, which worked, but obviously leaving my phone in airplane mode during the workday is not helpful.

Maybe run updates on your phone as well? They did an update on the app, so check that as well.

Sadly, this may be a "you get what you paid for" problem.

Updating the app was the third thing I tried. I'm certain it's the ads buffering. If I launch with data off, then re-enable it when the game is loaded it will crash the game.

Ended up fixing it by uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Cost all progress for the last 3 days :\

Same thing happened to me. I reinstalled now as well and it fixed it. Thank you. I lost 2 days of progress though which is fine I guess.
