Installed app over old beta build (installed before 2019)
We've had this a few times now and generally from people running an old version of the beta. If you have done that you'll need to delete the old beta and (sadly) lose your old profile) and then reinstall the game.
This will fix your loading issues, but you'll have to start from scratch! So only do this if you installed the app over an old beta build without deleting the old beta build first.
If the above doesn't work or if the game hasn't launched ever since, please contact us.

How do I get more Social?

Main factors:

2. Beating rivals asynchronously
3. Beating rivals head to head (this gives lots of points)

I have a fast internet connection but I'm being told my connection is poor

Your connection can be slowed by the following factors:

  • Too many devices connected to your Wi-Fi router
  • You're streaming or downloading media
  • Your router needs a restart (routers can overheat)
  • If you're on 4G, there's a chance you're in an area where connection isn't stable

If none of the above apply to you, it's possible you're too far from any of our multiplayer game servers:

ServerIP Address
Frankfurt52.28.148.158
London3.8.49.249
Ashburn54.242.247.93
California52.53.189.119
Sydney13.239.140.178

If you're being told your connection is slow but you think you have a fast internet connection and you're near one of our servers, please send us a screenshot of your speed test results from your iOS device.

It would also be helpful to see your ping for the IP address of the server nearest you. An extended ping test running for at least 1 minute would be good to see relevant minimum, maximum, and average ping values. If your ping varies a lot, your connection to our server is unstable.

One useful app to measure ping is iNetTools.

Settings

How do I adjust music?

You can turn music on or off from Settings > Music:

No audio in-game

If you've checked the above and there's still no audio, try force closing and then relaunching the app. Audio sometimes goes off when you switch between apps.
