Hello everyone, been reading this since I first started the game on 26th March, but only just now got around to signing up. I LOVE the game, & I've never really played anything before - my husband & teenage son are the gamers in our house. They think it's hilarious that I'm suddenly addicted to this!! My husband plays too, but he refuses to spend any real money on it, whereas I've bought all of the promos and extra gems when I needed to. I like to have full sets of characters & I figure, since I spend so much time playing it, I'm actually saving money because I don't have time to be online shopping anymore!

We live in the UK, and I checked with him, but he's never seen a single ad, even though he's never spent any money, so looks like they are only putting those really annoying ads on in the US so far. We both play on android and have found that it keeps crashing on the loading screen since the update, so hoping next one fixes that. Plus my parade has been going for 9 days now

Customer Services gave me 40 gems as compensation, but said that it can't be fixed until the next update, which is super annoying. I'm really excited about the Incredibles event, but doubt I'll have access to the new parade float, as not expecting the 'event' to fix it, think I'll have to wait for the update that has Aladdin in it for that.

Hope I'm wrong though. I'm on day 72 of playing, but I only got Astro Blasters yesterday, as my daily rewards broke after Day 1 and I didn't get them back till the last update. My husband's have worked fine all along. I'm currently trying to welcome Aurora & Donald (who is taking forever!!), I have everyone up to there & am waiting to defeat Mother Bothel, but I think I need Prince Phillip too for that to happen? Massively short on land though, as I still run the burger farm I started before the last update. Have a small hat stand farm going too since it, so I keep having to swap which buildings I've stored, depending on whether they pay out gold coins or whatever
