Hi @QueenB ! I would like to decide for myself when I use my lives please. I have put in some work to collect them. Trying to get money out of me another way now...
I have exactly the same issues. I cannot accept lives while I have waited for the timer to run out or restart or whatever. I also cannot go back to map when I am kicked out of the contest. It looks like those buttons are just for show on PC suddenly.
