Hello @Louieliza and welcome to our friendly King Community! I am sorry to hear that happened to you. Unfortunately things like saved boosters and lives are stored locally on the device you are playing on so if you switch to a new device or de-install and reinstall the app on your current device, that information is erased and you will not be able to get your boosters back. You will just need to build up your supply of boosters again.
@jorgie666 welcome to our friendly King Community. It sounds like you have been enjoying the game since it was released 12 April 2012. Unfortunately - the version of the game for mobile devices stores any saved boosters or lives on the device itself - so if the game is de-installed and reinstalled then the data for those boosters and lives are erased from the memory of that device. This will not affect the boosters you may have saved on a different device. I am sorry you have lost all your boosters on your device. It happened to me once too, and so I just went ahead and gradually built up my boosters again. We always try to ensure our players know that they will lose any saved boosters that are on a mobile device if they switch to a new device or de-install and re-install the game.
The same thing happened to me. I had to reload the app on my phone because after the last update the game was not connecting to server. So I lost all my boosters. I’m not going to pay for something that I can lose so easily so I probably won’t play any more. I think they should be restored.
