Yep I’ve been like this for a couple of weeks I give lives and request them - every week there seems to be a new problem just wished they’d sort it out
I had a message from the support team to delete app and reinstall it it worked but remember to make sure you know what level you were up to I got put back several levels this has been corrected after getting in touch but to be honest not receiving a lot of lives and I refuse to buy at the moment so not fully happy.
I have received about 3 lives from friends in over a week I have requested lives everyday two three times a day but with the restriction on lives weeks ago and now this I’m afraid it has completely spoiled the game will find something else from now on.
