Do you mean how do you redeem them in the actual game? Normally when you open the game they appear in your little inbox that pops up, do you not get that? I hope that this is what you mean?

You can only send lives to your friends once a day, so maybe this is why? If you don't see your friend in your list, maybe see if she can see you? I don't think its possible to add people, so have you tried searching by name in the little pop up inbox that you have?

I think this is related to the phone or Google, rather than an issue with the game itself. I can only really recommend checking out the Android forums. I can see that someone else has the same issue here: http://androidforums.com/threads/error-code-944-in-google-play-store.910717/

The pets should appear one after the other, like in this video. Is this how your level looks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfa9BsclsAE

I noticed that as well, there's nothing on the pre-level screen. I guess you need to get a certain score but theres nothing to say what it is. I'm happy if I get 1 star and defeat the little rascal, haha. 

Once the jellies have been cleared, the level should end? Have you cleared the jellies in the top section as well? Check out this video, is this how your levels goes? Let me know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oKsvEKlWrY

If your app is closing then try out a few of these troubleshooting steps in the videos here, highly recommended! https://care.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/lost-your-connection-to-facebook-ios https://care.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/lost-your-connection-to-facebook-android

So when you first open the game, you get the pop up with your messages, then you use your normal lives and the inbox isn't there? Is this what you mean?

If your inbox is full then you will only get beans from your friends, even if it says they sent you a life originally. This is just part of the game. 

Do you have a full 5 lives? If so, then anything that is sent to you, even if it says its a life, will be magic beans. This is a normal part of the game.
