Thanks but no, I don't see the back arrow nor does swiping while I'm inside the app do anything. Perhaps it's because my iPad is sitting horizontally on a magic keyboard @quekkc but as I no know what I need to do reloading the game is fine.

Thanks @quekkc and thanks for the info on how to backup on an iPhone.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. What I meant is after "restarting/reloading" the app, waiting for a few seconds before pressing "play" will bring you back to the previously played level.

You are right that after pressing "back" to the first screen and immediately press "play" again will bring you back to your last played level. There is no need to wait.

iPhones use a swipe gesture to go back, rather than a physical button like on Android. You go back by swiping from the left edge of the screen.

Do you have this Christine @christinewupp on your device, look at the bottom left of my screenshot circled. That's what I press then it takes me to the start screen again, to press play. Then it goes back to whatever level I was on before the system took me to the top again

I am sorry but I don't get what you mean by "pressing back". I also added some more comments to my last post, probably while you were typing your reply.

Yes @christinewupp I get that because once you navigate away from the game for any reason that counts as having closed the app.

What I am saying is once your game has actually reloaded and the Play button takes you to the end of the map there is then no need to restart the app as simply pressing back works fine (on Android).

I now get a connection error when I return to the game from the community. So I am forced to close the app.

And I've tried a few more times since I posted the above. On my last test I first had the connection problem but it resolved itself. The second the gold bar balance reappeared the game catapulted me to the top of the map.

Previously I also had the opening map screen appear as in your screenshot. And when I then pressed "play" again I was then brought to the top of the map.

I think if I myself close the app myself, then it works, and I do get back to the previous level. If the game remains open but loses its connection to the server, then regains connection, it will bring me to the top of the map. I think the answer for me is to then not click on anything but close the app.

Open your game and press play

The game sends you to the end of the map regardless of the last level you played

Press the back button (on Android)

This takes you back to the Play screen without having to close/reopen your app

Press Play and you will be back at the last level you played.

Why are you closing the app though @christinewupp can you not return to the Play screen by pressing back on an iOS device?

Thank you. Both your advice taken together has helped me find a way to get past this issue. If the game kicks me out due to inactivity or going into the community it will reload and show me the initial starting screen with the "play" button. I press it straight away it will take me to the top of the map within a fraction of a second. If I then close the app and reopen it myself and wait a couple of seconds to press "play" it will take me back to where I last played. No more unnecessary scrolling, so thanks for the tips.

If you press "play" too soon, it always goes to the top.

I can press Play as quick as I like and I am never returned to the top @quekkc

Yes, return to the first screen and press "play" again.

Normally when I restart the game, I would wait for a few more seconds before I press "play". If you press "play" too soon, it always goes to the top.

That is worrying to hear @christinewupp

The game has definitely changed this week as I am being returned to the top of the map more frequently. Opening the game and watching adverts now return me to the top of the map whereas these actions didn't used to.

When you say press 'play' are you referring to when you open the game? Pressing back and going back to the Play screen is different to opening your game.

Once you exit your game to check this community you have essentially restarted your game. After you press Play in this instance and are returned to the top of the map you will have to back up to the Play screen again so as to return to the last level you played.

Do not close the app to bring up the Play button as this will just return you to the top of the screen when you press Play, only backing up to the Play screen will work.

I do the same as Alienscar @christinewupp to get back to the lower level I was on.

Nope timed boosters aren't needed for what I do, they are just a waste for me, need to have the option to save ready to use when really needed.

On the Silver now, but need to leave everything and get on with my Duolingo 🫡

This is exactly what used to work for me and now it doesn't any more. So annoying! I play on iPad and the latest updates, and as soon as I press "play" I see the last level I played for the briefest of time, like a microsecond and then whoosh, I'm at the top. It seems that the game just absolutely does not want players to go back to older levels. This is so annoying when all I do this for is to help players stuck at a level. But quite frankly I don't think King want that either.

I don't think there is a way of staying at the lower levels as King seems to have changed the game recently. You don't have to scroll back though @christinewupp

Whenever you find your game at your latest level rather than the one you played last just return to the Play screen and press Play. In my game this always works to return me to the last level I played.

Great to hear this. You'll get back to the golden one in no time and get some timed boosters along the way to help. Enjoy!

By the way Carol, do you know any trick to stay at the lower levels when you reload the game? I find that the game now takes me to the top of the map each time it opens, and it's really so annoying because every time I open the internet to read something here in the community the game automatically closes. And when I open the app again I'm at the top of the map and scroll back again. Do you get this now?

Got the Chocolate Box back and it's taken me back to Classic, I'd obviously had the Gold Box too long. Oh well onwards and upwards work my way back to the Gold 🙊

Ouch Ouch Ouch @Alienscar anything else 🤣 I've got a big fat 0. Guess I should be grateful I had Sweet Cinema today to watch one advert for a striped candy, that's gone as normal after watching one advert. Daily Treat Machine gave me a timed colour bomb and Booster Wheel gave me a 5 minute UFO, all I went in to do was send lives 🙃 so more wasted boosters. Haven't got a clue what's happened to my Chocolate Box, just hope I get Season Pass tomorrow.

Maybe the Developers or their Goffer's do check the Community and it's my punishment day for making too many basic change suggestions for the game.

I'll probably get a survey soon asking, if I was prompted by a pop-up (ahhh another xxxxxxx pop-up) how likely would I be to turn the music on 🤣😂🤣
