(1 star)Still crashes on my iPhone after the update!!please fix I used to love this app Great app (5 stars) I love this McBlaster71 (4 stars) This app works well most of the time,however,on at least two occasions it made some of my pieces disappear during a game and had to play more or less blindfolded which cost me the games.Only one time did I have to delete and redownload app because of crash.When it works it works well but not a 5 star yet.
