not receiving extra life

Unfortunately @Alain1967 all your screenshot shows us is that your friends aren't sending you many lives. As you say the system is broken because one side effect of the new daily life limit is that people have stopped playing and dome people have stopped sending lives as a protest at being allowed so few lives.

I recommend you use the Add Friends feature of your game to add as many friends as you can.

Also check out the Discussion linked below and people that have shared their friends link.
